Wrexham are preparing to travel to Exeter in the next hurdle to overcome in the quest for promotion.

Phil Parkinson revealed George Dobson played through injury in their 1-0 win over Stockport County but the Wrexham boss will be hoping that the midfielder can recover to continue his excellent form.

Mikel Arteta’s prediction on Arthur Okonkwo is coming true as the goalkeeper continues to impress in the sticks, he now has five clean sheets in his last six games in League One.

Fans are still unconvinced over Jay Rodriguez despite the striker opening his account for the club at the Racecourse Ground and there is another option up top for Parkinson who has previous success against Exeter.

Phil Parkinson could unleash Ollie Palmer against Exeter

Wrexham cruised past Exeter earlier in the season with a 3-0 victory in North Wales with Max Cleworth and Ollie Rathbone among the goal scorers.

It was also the last time that Ollie Palmer was on the scoresheet and and the striker was excellent that afternoon, causing the Exeter back line all sorts of problems with his physicality in particular.

Palmer hasn’t feature in the last ten matchday squads in the league for the Red Dragons but Parkinson revealed Palmer had been training well and that the door wasn’t closed on a return for the forward.

The Wrexham boss could spring a surprise for the upcoming clash with Palmer having caused problems in the return fixture.

Palmer featured for Wrexham reserves in win over Mansfield

Palmer featured for Wrexham reserves recently in a 4-0 victory over Mansfield at Colliers Park in the Central League.

Paul Mullin was on the scoresheet against Mansfield’s reserves and there were also appearances for Modou Faal and Dan Scarr.

Harry Ashfield bagged two assists in the Central League clash in another reminder to Parkinson that the strength in depth at his disposal can help to carry Wrexham to promotion.

Whether Palmer did enough in the game to force his way into Parkinson’s plans remains to be seen but the striker has certainly shown that he has Exeter’s number in the past.
