Wrexham are gunning for promotion to the Championship and Phil Parkinson has an embarrassment of riches in attack.
The final stretch of the League One season is upon us and Wrexham remain right in contention for an automatic promotion place.
Big-spending Birmingham City are over the hill and far away with Chris Davies set to clinch the League One title at a canter.
Wrexham aren’t focused on top spot right now though with second-placed Wycombe Wanderers in the sights.
Wrexham cut the gap to Wycombe to two points over the weekend, drawing to Bolton Wanderers as Wycombe lost to Birmingham.
Eoghan O’Connell is happy with Wrexham’s position right now but Parkinson will be looking for his attacking options to fire Wrexham past Wycombe and into the Championship.

Ollie Palmer sends message amid Wrexham exile
Parkinson snapped up two strikers in January; Sam Smith joined Wrexham in a club-record move from Reading before Jay Rodriguez came in from Burnley.
Smith celebrated his first Wrexham goal against Northampton Town but Rodriguez is still waiting to get off the mark.
Steven Fletcher and Jack Marriott have been the main substitutes with Paul Mullin often left out by Parkinson of late.
Modou Faal impressed Wrexham fans against Peterborough United, meaning Parkinson has so many options – without even factoring in Ollie Palmer.
Palmer chose to stay at Wrexham in January despite receiving offers to move on and play regularly elsewhere.
The striker has not played a single League One minute for Wrexham since the end of the transfer window, failing to even make the bench.
Palmer’s last appearance came as a substitute at Port Vale in the EFL Trophy almost a month ago.
Parkinson appears to be moving on from Palmer but the 33-year-old has now taken to Instagram to share a message to fans.
‘Been a minute’ wrote Palmer alongside a number of photos from his time at Wrexham.
Palmer is no doubt missing the buzz of the STōK Cae Ras and would love to be back in the Wrexham side once again.
Palmer’s message may be brief but it’s clear that his love Wrexham is still strong.
Fletcher, Faal and Lewis Brunt all showed their support for Palmer with Wrexham fans sending heartfelt messages too, praying to see him in the famous red shirt once again.
Ollie Palmer may say goodbye this summer
The writing may be on the wall for Palmer, with the giant forward seemingly relegated to seventh choice in Parkinson’s pecking order.
You just never know when Palmer or any of the other Wrexham strikers could be called upon with promotion on the line though.
Palmer faces a tough road back to the Wrexham XI but we can never say never with results the absolute priority.
The likelihood is that Palmer will move on this summer though, regardless of whether Wrexham win promotion or not.
A hugely popular figure throughout this Wrexham rise, Palmer may yet force his way back in – and his goodbye should not be from a January defeat to Stevenage.
Wrexham fans clearly love Palmer and it would be sad end to his time at the club if he was to leave without another appearance.
