Wrexham faced off with fellow League One promotion chasers Lincoln City on Tuesday evening.
The Red Dragons clashed with the Imps at the Racecourse Ground in midweek, looking to sign off ahead of their week-long break with a win.
Wrexham have been immense at home during the current campaign and their superb run of results continued versus Lincoln City.
It was by no means a sensational 90 minutes from the Welsh side but they did come away with the three points.
James McClean played a key role as Wrexham beat Lincoln 1-0, seeing his cross deflect in off a defender in the 67th minute.
As well as McClean, George Dobson was excellent against the Imps, starring in a more advanced midfield role on the night.
However, not every Wrexham player was at their best on November 26th, was one man in particular really poor.

Phil Parkinson made his feelings on Paul Mullin clear during Wrexham vs Lincoln City
While the three points stayed in Wales, it is fair to say that Wrexham’s attack on the day was pretty dire.
Wrexham fans criticised Elliot Lee during the clash, with the midfielder struggling when deployed alongside Ollie Palmer up top.
Lee is a natural midfielder who has shone while operating as a number 10 over the last few years.
However, the fact Phil Parkinson opted to play Lee out of position against Lincoln speaks volumes about how he currently views Paul Mullin.
It was clear at half-time that Wrexham needed to change something if they wanted to have any success in the final third.
But rather than bringing the club’s record scorer on, the manager opted to stick with the underperforming Lee, with Mullin not coming until the 73rd minute when Wrexham were already leading.

Wrexham could sign Paul Mullin replacement in January
The 30-year-old’s fall from grace this season has been pretty staggering, with Parkinson seemingly losing faith in the striker to deliver on the goal front.
But with the club still firmly in the League One promotion picture, they are expected to make changes to their forward line early in 2025.
Wrexham want to sign a centre-forward during the 2025 January transfer window.
And we can confirm that Parkinson has been offered at least 12 strikers for the Red Dragons already in recent weeks.
In turn, with Mullin already playing second fiddle to a midfielder up front, he is likely to fall even further down the pecking order when and if a new number nine is signed in January.
