    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Barnett has been in top form this season for Phil Parkinson's Wrexham as the midfielder leads the assists charts in League One so far. The Red Dragons have only lost twice this season of English football and a third-straight promotion is not entirely out of the question. Barnett has been a top performer for Wrexham and naturally has been linked with an early move to the Championship.
