Red Dragons riding high in League TwoHave endured the odd wobbleLooking to wrap up a top-three finishWHAT HAPPENED?
The Red Dragons know what it takes to drag themselves over the line, having fended off the threat posed by Notts County to claim the National League title in record-breaking style last season. They are now flying high in League Two, but have endured the odd wobble of late as the clock ticks down on a bid to secure a top-three finish.

Reynolds and McElhenney are eager to ease pressure in North Wales, rather than add to it, with Lee telling of what it is like to work under Hollywood co-chairmen: “They're always involved with the lads, they like to check in on you and see how you're getting on, they come to the games and they'll be with us in the changing rooms before and afterwards. They're definitely not just owners who have bought a club and aren't involved. They're very caring people, they care about the club, the players, the fans and the community, and then what they've done for Wrexham has been incredible. It's a great feeling to have owners that actually care about people around the club and care about where the club's going. They're very hands on and they're very involved with what's happening, and they're always encouraging. Even when we had a spell of not winning games, they were the first people to back us, saying 'don't worry' and 'keep going', so it's a great feeling.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 2023-24 campaign is lining up more drama for the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary series, with Lee adding on life in front of the camera and the benefits that has brought: “It's obviously great, the added media attention and the cameras being there for the documentary. Once you've been at the club for a while, though, you don't really think about it too much, you just get used to it. The manager [Phil Parkinson] is also very good at keeping our feet on the ground, keeping us humble and keeping us working hard every day because that's what we are: we're a hard-working, honest bunch. Everything that comes with Wrexham and the media is great, but we are under no illusions that our job, first and foremost, is to win games on the pitch every Saturday and every Tuesday and take this club as high as we can.”

Wrexham, who suffered an untimely 1-0 defeat at Doncaster last time out, have five games left to take in this season. The first of those will see them travel to Colchester on Saturday – with Parkinson’s side third in the table, four points adrift of leaders Stockport but only two in front of fourth-placed MK Dons.
