Wrexham played host to Bolton Wanderers in a League One fixture on March 1st.
The Red Dragons exited the EFL Trophy earlier this week at the hands of Peterborough United.
It was a disappointing showing against The Posh but it should now allow Wrexham to put all their attention into securing League One promotion.
Phil Parkison made a number of changes to his side for what was expected to be a tough meeting with Bolton Wanderers.
Wrexham fans were puzzled when Paul Mullin was left out of the entire matchday squad once again.
Meanwhile, there were changes in the centre of midfield and one very big one at left-wing-back.
Sebastian Revan was handed a rare start on the left with James McClean, who picked up an injury recently, only making the bench.
It was still a strong squad but given Bolton’s recent form, a tricky tested was expected for the Welsh outfit.
Wrexham fans in awe of Ryan Longman vs Bolton
The tie itself lacked excitement and Bolton were especially poor at creating chances on the day.
Wrexham dominated on that front, in no small part due to Janaury addition, Ryan Longman, and his superb display.
Fans were left in awe of the wing-back, who put in a serious shift and was unlucky not to get an assist for one of his many excellent deliveries.
One fan wrote: “Longman’s heat map today must be off the chart. Unbelievable shift.”
A second Wrexham fan added: “Longman is playing good.”
Another stated: “Longman ran hard for 70 minutes. He put in a good shift”, while a fourth wrote: “Oh my days how has O Connor missed that. We are knocking on the door. Longman and Revan are phenomenal today.”
“I think Longman has his man beat every time today and his delivery looks very dangerous. I think whichever we go with will need Fletch to aim at rather than Rodriguez,” a fifth added.
While another demanded: “Get the ball to Longman as often as possible.”
Ryan Longman must start every game for Wrexham
Longman arrived from Hull City in January and had an almost instant impact for his new club.
The right-wing-back managed to provide three assists in his first three outings, two of which were off the bench.
He was once again immense as Wrexham drew with Bolton, and it’s become clear that Parkinson needs to find a way to start him every week.
Dropping Barnett completely would be a mistake but as Longman can play off the left as well, we could see both Ryans given a chance to play together.
