As of now in October, Wrexham A.F.C. is playing at a high level, therefore their winning recipe won’t be changing too much.
When the Welsh team traveled to Mansfield Town at the beginning of October, they witnessed their first-ever 0-0 tie amid their customary high-scoring matches.
With goals from replacements Steven Fletcher and Jordan Davies in the closing minutes of their most recent game, Phil Parkinson’s team won a thrilling five-goal thriller, extending their winning streak to three games across all competitions and five games without a loss. The Bradford City team, who are currently in the post-Mark Hughes era, will be Wrexham’s next opponent at Valley Parade in a crucial test. Below is FootballLeagueWorld’s expected starting lineup for the visitors.
GK: Arthur Okonkwo
Arthur Okwonko has been the man in goal after Mark Howard, 37, gave up five goals in a thrashing at the hands of Stockport County.
The Arsenal loanee will be looking to record his third shutout of the year after keeping clean sheets against Mansfield and Crawley in back-to-back games.
LWB: James McClean
Another player from Wrexham who wasn’t a lock to start the season but has since forced his way into the starting lineup is James McClean.
After his team fell down Salford 2-0, McClean helped set up Elliot Lee’s goal to spark the comeback.
CB: Thomas O’Connor
Thomas O’Connor has demonstrated his versatility as a footballer by playing in both midfield and defense.
But since George Evans has returned, he has been playing at the back, so that’s where he will be going to Bradford.
CB: Eoghan O’Connell
Eoghan O’Connell, a former Celtic player who has played the entire 90 minutes in the last two games, is the second of the three center backs.
Aaron Hayden, CB
Having assisted on one of Paul Mullin’s two goals against Crew Alexandra and scored the game’s lone goal in the victory over Tranmere Rovers, Aaron Hayden is a threat in both categories.
RWB: Jacob Mendy
The lone and only alteration we have is at right wingback, where adolescent Aaron James steps in.
Although the 18-year-old made his season debut against Salford, Gambian Jacob Mendy is a vital member of the Wrexham team having already contributed five goals.
CM: James Jones
James Jones, a Scot, is the first of the three center-mids to come up into the middle of the park.
Even though Captain Luke Young made a brief appearance against Salford in his comeback, you shouldn’t mend anything if it’s not broken.
CM: George Evans
George Evans is the lifeblood of this team having played every minute of these four games that they have gone unbeaten in.
Meanwhile, he only came on for 25 minutes in the 5-0 defeat away at Stockport.
CM: Elliot Lee
Elliot Lee is on fire in front of goal, leading the team by some distance with eight to his name.
Add his two assists into the mix and he is surely one of the most in-form players in League Two.
ST: Ollie Palmer
Ollie Palmer is one of two players in second on the scoring charts with three with his early strike against Crawley Town a couple of weeks ago being the only goal of the game at Broadfield Stadium.
ST: Paul Mullin
Finally then to the biggest name in the team, although his performances are yet to match up to that.
