Wrexham star Ollie Palmer hits back at familiar criticism but admits team must 'get better' to secure promotion for Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney

The Red Dragons have grown accustomed to blowing opponents away in any given surroundings, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-history-books-stunning-wrexham-record-not-beaten-2024-chesterfield/bltf58d44b6aa54a32b" target="_blank">111 points accrued when landing the National League title</a> in 2023. More of the same was expected in League Two, and Phil Parkinson’s side are among the fourth-tier frontrunners.

WHAT HAPPENED?

SToK Racecourse has remained a fortress, with Wrexham boasting the second-best home record in the division, but only six wins have been collected outside of North Wales – while suffering as many defeats. Those issues mean that anxious glances continue to be shot over collective shoulders <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/will-wrexham-win-promotion-league-one-supercomputer-predicts-finish-2023-24-season-rob-mcelhenney-ryan-reynolds/bltbca39b81a39445a1" target="_blank">heading into the final eight games of the season.</a>

If you are going to refer to yourselves as one of the top teams in the league, obviously we want it to be right up there but we are probably about seventh or eighth in the form table - it is not horrendous. We know we have got to better that if we want to get to where we want to get to. We have got fantastic home form but you can't have everything; it was great to get three points against Morecambe.”

WHAT PALMER SAID

Wrexham prevailed 3-1 at Morecambe in their last away game, but have since dropped five points at home to Harrogate and Tranmere.
