Phil Parkinson must consider controversial Wrexham call as promotion race tightens

One of Wrexham’s star performers in midfield has looked out of sorts in recent weeks, leaving the manager with a big decision to make

Wrexham’s automatic promotion hopes hang in the balance after a crucial loss against Tranmere Rovers.

Elliot Lee’s recent struggles have fans questioning if he should be rested to rediscover his form.

Potential replacements like Tom O’Connor and Jordan Davies could step up if Lee is benched to shake things up.

Wrexham’s automatic promotion hopes remain up in the air after losing 1-0 at home against Tranmere Rovers on the weekend.

There are effectively six teams still in the race for the top three positions in League Two, with Mansfield Town, Stockport County, and Phil Parkinson’s side currently occupying those spots.

While Mansfield have built up a four-point cushion at the summit, both Wrexham and Stockport have been in patchy form of late.

It means MK Dons, Crewe Alexandra, and Barrow are still breathing down their necks heading into the closing stages of the season.

The Red Dragons will be keen to avoid the play-offs after previously failing to gain promotion via that route on six occasions.

If they are to avoid that lottery and secure an automatic spot, then it could require Parkinson to make a controversial call.
