Wrexham are looking to secure a third-straight promotion under Phil Parkinson in the 2024/25 season.
Wrexham have come a long way in just a few short years, with local fans still having memories of their club floundering in the National League and struggling to pay players or fill the Racecourse Ground.
That all changed following the arrival of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in February 2021, however.
Wrexham escaped the National League at the end of the 2022/23 season before finishing second in League Two in the following campaign.
Now in League One for the first time in well over a decade, they remain in with a chance of booking their place in the Championship for 2025/26.
Wrexham’s recent form hasn’t been great and they have dropped five points behind the automatic promotion places.
However, with 15 games of the season still to play and a very winnable clash versus Mansfield Town coming up, a lot can change.
Wrexham can match League One record held by Wolves
As things stand, Wrexham have managed to garner 58 points from their opening 31 fixtures.
Birmingham City, meanwhile, are already on 69 points from just 29 matches played.
With 15 games of the season still ahead of us, the Red Dragons are still, in theory, able to earn themselves another 45 points.
If they did so, they would match the League One record for most points in a season, which is currently held by Wolverhampton Wanderers – 103 in 2013/14.
And given they are already 11 points above Wrexham, Tom Brady’s Birmingham could go on to break that record by a considerable margin.
Phil Parkinson comments on Wrexham promotion
In reality, it’s unlikely Wrexham will go on to win their remaining 15 matches of 2024/25 but stranger things have happened and nothing can be ruled out with this club.
After losing to Leyton Orient, Phil Parkinson commented on his team’s chances of winning promotion this term, as per Leader Live.
He said: “Like everybody, we look at the results like we did Saturday when we won and Wycombe drew.
“But there’s other teams in the mix as well and there’s a lot of football to be played yet.
“Of course we look at everybody’s results but we’ve got to focus on ourselves because that’s all we can do, that’s all we can control.”
