Wrexham end on a high! Red Dragons overcome promotion hangover to finish League One season with a win as Elliot Lee and Ryan Longman shine & Paul Mullin is left out yet again

<p>Wrexham appeared to be suffering from a hangover from their promotion party, getting off to a worrying start as Lincoln bombarded their goal early on. The hosts came close in the 20th minute as Sean Roughan found Ben House in a good position, but he fumbled when it came to taking the shot. It wasn't until the half-hour mark that Wrexham looked like threatening when James McClean crossed to Sam Smith, but his volley went wide.</p><p>Lincoln were certainly the better team throughout the first 45 minutes, though, and Wrexham had Arthur Okonkwo to thank for going in level at the break as a strong save denied Reeco Hackett just before the whistle.</p><p>Wrexham came out fighting in the second half, causing trouble in the Imps' box. And eight minutes after the interval they were ahead as Ryan Longman sent a deadly cross in for Lee to head home. Before long, they were 2-0 up - this time Longman rounded off a fine team move with an assist from McClean.</p><p>Lincoln grew back into the game, but it was too little too late as a buoyant Wrexham side ensured they can keep the party going on their way to the Championship.</p>

<p><strong>Longman</strong> had a tremendous impact as Wrexham bounced back from a tame first half. His cross set up Lee for a powerful header and he found space in a dangerous position to lash home his first goal for the club. He was booked for his passionate celebration but he won't care one bit.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ryan’s first goal in a Wrexham shirt 🙌<br><br>🔴⚪️ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WxmAFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WxmAFC</a> <a href="https://t.co/ur7yOyT0KS">pic.twitter.com/ur7yOyT0KS</a></p>— Wrexham AFC (@Wrexham_AFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/Wrexham_AFC/status/1918688399801671988?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 3, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE MVP

<p>The exiles of Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer continued as neither appeared in Phil Parkinson's matchday squad. The pair have not even been named among the substitutes for a League One match since the end of January and it remains to be seen how involved both will be in the Championship, with Mullin, 30, having two years left on his contract and 33-year-old Palmer only having one.</p>

THE BIG LOSER

<p>A challenging summer awaits Wrexham as they prepare for what will be a tough debut season in English football's second tier. The Welsh club will likely have to strengthen in many areas if they are to compete in the 2025-26 campaign.</p>
