Wrexham are back in League One action on August 24th, facing off with Reading.
Phil Parkinson has enjoyed an excellent start to the 2024/25 League One season with his side.
Wrexham beat Wycombe Wanderers 3-2 on the opening weekend to secure their first-ever three points in the division.
Following that clash, the Red Dragons went head-to-head with a promotion-chasing Bolton Wanderers this past weekend.
The game was expected to give a good indicator of how the Welsh outfit will fare in the current campaign as any sort of positive result against one of the top teams in League One would have been huge.
When all was said and done, Wrexham drew 0-0 with Bolton, extending their unbeaten start to the season and no doubt giving them a confidence boost when it comes to their promotion chances.
Arthur Okonkwo was lauded for his display against Bolton, making several fantastic saves to keep the home side out despite their eight shots on target.

Phil Parkinson must start Sebastian Revan vs Reading
Another player who shone in the goalless draw against Bolton was Sebastian Revan.
After scoring his first Wrexham goal while playing as a left wing-back in the League Cup defeat to Sheffield United, Parkinson opted to hand the defender another start this past weekend.
He won four ground duels, completed three successful dribbles, and made three clearances across ninety minutes, with Parkinson praising Revan heavily after the match.
After such an impressive showing against a top side, Revan has to keep his starting place for Wrexham’s next match.
The Red Dragons will face off with Reading at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday, August 24th, in a 3pm BST kick-off.
Phil Parkinson has tough call to make for Wrexham vs Reading
Ahead of the Reading meeting, Parkinson has a tough selection call to make.
Revan cannot be dropped after two back-to-back starring displays but it is hard to fit the wing-back into the team without dropping another key player.
Revan is a natural left-wing-back so he is in competition with James McClean for a starting place.
However, McClean is Wrexham captain and also something of a fan favourite at the club.
Should Parkinson drop the Irishman for Revan, he could see some backlash from fans this weekend.
McClean can be used as a central midfielder as well, but that would then mean George Dobson or Andy Cannon are forced out of the eleven.
If Wrexham beat Reading, whatever Parkinson opts to do will not matter too much. But a defeat on Saturday will likely see his selection decisions come in for scrutiny.
