Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney warned of ‘Achilles heel’ that threatens Wrexham’s bid for historic third successive promotion

Championship

Southampton

Wrexham

<p>The Red Dragons have enjoyed a meteoric rise since <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-wrexham-reacted-will-ferrell-hugh-jackman-visits-hollywood-co-owners-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-a-list-friends/blte220f250badc8fbe" target="_blank">welcoming Hollywood co-owners to North Wales in 2021</a>. The National League title was claimed in record-breaking style, before bouncing straight through the fourth tier of English football.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Phil Parkinson’s side continue to ride high in League One, but are four points adrift of the top two. Much of their success this term is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-mind-blown-wrexham-record-59-wins-208-goals/blt9c0515c89bb2b932" target="_blank">down to an incredible home recor</a>d that has seen just nine points dropped across 16 <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/what-wrexham-55000-seater-stadium-look-like-stunning-ai-design-premier-league-dreams-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-reality/bltde16e95aae2fd0bb" target="_blank">outings at SToK Racecourse</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>That is the best home record in the division, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-ollie-palmer-hits-back-criticism-admits-team-must-get-better-secure-promotion-for-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blta2ba821f5550febe" target="_blank">issues have been endured on the road</a>. Wrexham sit 13th in the away form standings, claiming only four wins from 13 games, and have suffered defeats at Barnsley and Shrewsbury since the turn of the year.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>EFL pundit Don Goodman has told <em>OLBG</em> of why travel sickness could <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-bored-wrexham-owners-warned-deep-pockets-premier-league-dream-wales-legend-hollywood-new-stadium/blt2681ee110acf82b7" target="_blank">undo much of the Red Dragons’ fine work</a>: “Wrexham are definitely in the race for promotion. Wycombe have to play eight games against teams from the top nine, which won't be easy. To add a bit more context, they haven't lost a single game against anybody from the bottom half this season but have only managed to beat five teams from the top half.</p><p>“It's all to play for. But Wrexham's Achilles heel is their away form against top-half teams, having not won any of their seven matches on the road against those sides.”</p>

WHAT EFL PUNDIT SAID

<p>Goodman went on to say of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenny-wrexham-warned-2m-mistake-hollywood-co-owners-breaking-transfer-record-wrong-striker/blt5371668bd1058183" target="_blank">Wrexham boasting the firepower</a> that could help to drag them over the line: “Wrexham were quite reserved in their summer spending but you'd imagine Jay Rodriguez will be licking his lips at the prospect of playing in League One. </p><p>“He's never played in League One before but if they manage him properly to the point he remains fresh, he will be a difference-maker and find it easy to play at this level. You're looking for difference-makers and that's what Wrexham have in abundance.”</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Wrexham are hoping that a spark can be found from somewhere, with a game in hand currently held over Stockport – who sit directly below them. There is, however, much work to be done if the Red Dragons are to become the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-real-madrid-champions-league-why-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-believe-in-miracles-premier-league-promotion-dream/blt40348ee6ec642a07" target="_blank">first EFL side to secure three successive promotions</a> and deliver more drama for their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/more-series-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhnney-make-welcome-to-wrexham-as-long-as-they-can-deadpool-actor-more-emotionally-attached-red-dragons-than-marvel-hollywood/bltc2428a5bcd998f4c " target="_blank">award-winning documentary series</a>.</p>
