Following the collection of just a single point from back-to-back away matches against Leyton Orient and Stevenage – failing to find the net during either contest – Wrexham returned to winning ways at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday afternoon, smashing League One strugglers Northampton.
Scoring just on three occasions during the League Two promotion-winning campaign of 2023-24, former Republic of Ireland international James McClean bagged a brilliant brace for the Red Dragons last time out, whilst Jack Marriott and midfielder Elliot Lee also breached the Cobblers’ net to secure a 4-1 win.
After 10 matches of their long-awaited return to the third tier of English football, Wrexham currently occupy second place in the League One table, two points behind league leaders Birmingham City, who have played a game fewer than their Welsh counterparts heading into the October international break.
The Red Dragons would be leading the pack if the rankings were purely determined on home form, with Phil Parkinson’s side winning all five of their league matches at their Racecourse Ground fortress, scoring a staggering 15 goals and allowing only four in the process.
Whilst league matters have started swimmingly, Wrexham are also on course for success in the EFL Trophy, with goals from club legend Paul Mullin and Will Boyle sealing a 2-1 victory over League Two Salford City from the opening game of the group on September 10.
After finishing third behind eventual League One champions Derby County and Lincoln City in their 2023-24 group, Wolverhampton Wanderers Under-21s are on a mission to advance into the knockout stages of the EFL Trophy this time around, although they might need to produce a shock result at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday night in order to do so.
Courtesy of efforts either side of the half-time whistle from Tom Edozie and Fletcher Holman, Wolves managed to take a point from their trip to League Two promotion chasers Port Vale during gameweek one of the competition, although it was the senior side who snatched the extra point following a 5-4 penalty-shootout success.
Since then, the Old Gold have been wildly inconsistent in their Premier League 2 adventures, smashing Leeds United Under-21s 4-1 on September 21 before losing by the same scoreline to Derby County Under-21s on September 30, all prior to commencing October’s run of matches with a 4-2 beating of Everton Under-21s.
