Wrexham enjoyed a superb away day on Saturday afternoon, beating Rotherham United 1-0 thanks to Paul Mullin’s early goal.
Wrexham fans will certainly have enjoyed the trip to Yorkshire this weekend.
One point from the previous three away League One games may have left some fans a little concerned ahead of facing Rotherham United.
Wrexham fans were in great voice though and no wonder; Paul Mullin opened the scoring inside the first 20 seconds of the game.
Ryan Barnett’s cross was turned in by Mullin for yet another assist by the Wrexham wing back, fresh off three assists against Northampton Town.
Wrexham then stood firm in the face of Rotherham pressure as Phil Parkinson’s side recorded another clean sheet.
Paul Mullin pokes fun at Rotherham United boss
This was a real test for Wrexham, coming up against a side who were playing Championship football last season.
The Millers revamped their squad over the summer after bringing Steve Evans back in as their manager.
Rotherham have suffered a poor start to the season though and Wrexham only added to that on Saturday.
Evans has made comments about Wrexham in recent weeks and kept coming back to one specific comparison.
The Scot suggested in September that Wrexham were the ‘Harlem Globetrotters’ of League One.
Evans doubled down on that claim earlier in October and Paul Mullin has now offered his response.
Taking to Instagram after Saturday’s win, Mullin poked fun at the Harlem Globetrotters comparison whilst thanking Wrexham fans for their outstanding support.
Harlem Globetrotters comparison never made sense
We can almost see what Evans means in that Wrexham have glitz and glamour from the Hollywood ownership in Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
That is about as far as it goes though with Wrexham absolutely nothing like the Harlem Globetrotters in actual action.
The Globetrotters are all about tricks and flashy skills on the basketball court; not so much an actual team but rather a performance with the sole intent of entertainment.
That is not the Wrexham way.
Phil Parkinson sets his side up to be tough and hard to beat, a workmanlike team who prioritise unity over individuality.
Mullin and his Wrexham teammates have probably laughed at Evans’ comparisons over recent weeks and will certainly have loved Saturday’s result.
