Wrexham have gone from strength to strength this season, recently setting a record for the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney era.
After a sluggish start to 2025, which included their 10-month unbeaten run at home coming to an end, the Red Dragons have really kicked into gear in the last month or so.
Wrexham beat rivals Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 to boost their automatic promotion chances earlier this month.
Phil Parkinson’s side then slipped out of the top two when Wycombe played their game in hand against Rotherham United.
However, with the Chairboys not having a fixture this past weekend, Wrexham are now back in second place following a win over another promotion rival, Stockport County.
After beating their old foes from the National League and League Two, the Hollywood club have now set a Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-era record.
Wrexham break Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-era record after Stockport
Wrexham beat Wycombe 1-0 and Stockport by the same scoreline on Saturday, meaning they have now kept the most clean sheets in the third tier this term.
Birmingham City do have two games in hand and could surpass the Reds in the coming weeks.
However, Wrexham are still on course to make history in their remaining eight league matches of 2024/25.
After managing a shutout against Stockport, Parkinson’s men are now on 19 clean sheets, which is the most they have managed in any league season since Rob and Ryan took over.
Crucially, they are only two games away from matching, and three away from breaking their all-time record for most league shutouts (21).
Close Wrexham games are making Rob McElhenney nervous
The fact Wrexham have the best clean sheet record in the third tier has been so key to their promotion push, given how few goals they are scoring.
After two back-to-back 1-0 wins, the Red Dragons have now won 10 league fixtures by the same scoreline this term.
A win is a win not matter the score but McElhenney expressed how nervous Wrexham make him when they are picking up victories by such small margins recently.
Taking to X/Twitter he wrote post-Stockport: “I guess there are worse records to break than the one for most 1-0 victories. But boy, is it terrible for the nervous system.”
