From TheAthleticFC - Only two National League champions have been promoted the next season from League Two since 2001. So what do Wrexham need to do to buck the trend now promotion is so close? RSooty73 examines the squad...
Stockport County, after pipping Wrexham to top spot a year ago, are admittedly hoping to buck that trend this time around — Dave Challinor’s side currently sit fourth in the table with three games to play.But, strangely, it is the teams coming up via the play-offs route who have enjoyed more success, with no less than five clubs — Tranmere Rovers , Bristol Rovers , Exeter City , Carlisle United and Doncaster Rovers — going on to clinch promotion to League One at the first attempt.
The starting XI against Yeovil, for instance, boasted a combined eight EFL promotions, the most recent coming in the 2020-21 campaign as Paul Mullin’s 32 goals helped power Cambridge United to runners-up spot in League Two just behind Ben Tozer’s Cheltenham Town. The 28-year-old’s prowess is perhaps best illustrated by his expected goals of 26.17 — way below the 36 goals he has actually scored. This suggests Mullin is consistently making more of the opportunities that come his way than they deserve.Then there’s Elliot Lee, whose eye for goal and near-telepathic understanding with Mullin has brought 10 goals and eight assists. Only Mullin with nine and set-piece specialist Luke Young have created more goals for Wrexham this season.
With Tozer, Jordan Tunnicliffe, a fit-again Hayden and Eoghan O’Connell among those vying for the three centre-back berths next season, Parkinson is likely to be spoilt for choice. A younger keeper with good distribution skills could make a big difference in the league above, where the opposition thinking is much quicker.
