Wrexham are gearing up for a huge game on Monday night as Phil Parkinson prepares to take on Birmingham City in League One.
This has been as sensational start to the League One season for Wrexham.
Four wins from five games is beyond what anybody expected, especially with points coming against the likes of Bolton Wanderers, Reading and Peterborough United.
Wrexham have only conceded two goals in that run too and deservedly sit top of the League One table at this early stage.
Wrexham face a big test on Monday night though at Phil Parkinson takes his side to face big-spending Birmingham City.
Celebrity involvement means all eyes will be on this game and Rob McElhenney has already messaged Tom Brady ahead of the game.
Steve Evans on Wrexham
There will be many neutral fans wishing that both teams could lose.
Birmingham’s big spending has put a target on their back whilst Wrexham’s incredible rise isn’t exactly a fairytale to many fans of other clubs.
Rotherham United boss Steve Evans has now shared his thoughts on both clubs after a disappointing start to the season.
The Millers have won just one of their first five league games after allow Evans to rip the squad apart over the summer.
That included selling Ollie Rathbone to Wrexham and signing former Wrexham target Jonson Clarke-Harris.
Rotherham racked up 14 signings in a quite remarkable summer transfer window but Evans is yet to find the results this season.
Evans has now told BBC Radio Sheffield’s Rob Staton that he isn’t too worried about Rotherham’s form and won’t really take stock until playing around 12 to 14 games.
The Scot noted that Rotherham are yet to face Birmingham, who he branded the ‘Real Madrid of League One’.
Evans then called Wrexham ‘the Harlem Globetrotters’, believing that the club’s ownership brings glitz and glamour.
“We’ve not played the Real Madrid of League One, we play them on Saturday week and we’ve not played the Harlem Globetrotters, which will turn up when Parky brings Wrexham here with the stars and the attention that comes from that with the ownership,” said Evans.
“In all seriousness, we’ll get a measurement after 12-14 games, it’s always the situations whether you’re League One, Championship or below. It’s 12-14 games, you get an idea because you’ve played a mix of teams,” he added.
Nothing flashy about Wrexham
We know what Evans is getting at here.
Wrexham have become the ‘Hollywood’ club in the eyes of many fans with Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds at the helm.
The STōK Cae Ras is just about the only stadium in the English football pyramid where any celebrity could pop up at any time.
Yet in terms of a direct comparison to the Harlem Globetrotters, Wrexham probably couldn’t be much further away.
The Harlem Globetrotters are all about tricks and entertainment, putting on a quite incredible show for the paying fans.
Wrexham couldn’t be further away from that showboating style.
Parkinson has made Wrexham an incredibly strong team and four league clean sheets in a row sums that up.
Wrexham are all business and few League One teams want a trip to the STōK Cae Ras right now with Parkinson leading a well-drilled side into battle; no tricks, no gimmicks.
