Consolidation, waiting for Mullin and promotion a possibility - Wrexham fans on season so far

It's been an unbeaten start to Wrexham's return to League One - and the fans have been impressed.

As Phil Parkinson's side look for a second Racecourse win of the season as they welcome Reading, we asked for your thoughts on the early days back in the third tier - and whether challenging at the top end of the table is out of the question.

Here's a selection of your comments.

Wes: I believe they will go up in the play offs - Hollywood script Part III

Rod: Pretty happy with the squad, think we need Paul Mullin back for the X-factor but Jack Marriott has been looking better this season. I think people are too quick to write off Ollie Palmer at this level; he still has a lot of assists and goals in him. We probably need to get two strikers out and one new striker in for us to challenge for play-offs.

Rich: We start games well, however second-half in games we seem to leak goals. The defence gets lost and we need to be more organised.

Mike: Owners, manager, players are pushing for as high as possible or actual promotion. The infrastructure isn’t there yet to sustain a Championship club, so we could go up but struggle to avoid coming straight back down. 10th to 15th would be lovely.

Tim: Consolidation. Most fans will settle for midtable; there seems to be a realisation this is a big step up. As for the owners, they want promotion ASAP which is a great mindset to have.

Mick: So far, so good. The new signings look to have improved an already League One-quality squad. Hopefully Paul Mullin is on the road to full fitness and returning to action soon. We can seriously challenge for play-offs, if not promotion.

Kev: Top 10 finish would be great for us Wrexham fans. Next year we can hopefully challenge to go up when we strengthen again.

Alec: Wrexham's biggest weakness the past three years has been its defence. This year it's much improved with a firm structure. Once Paul Mullin returns, League One better watch out!

Ian: I went to the Wycombe game and the crowd was like an extra man for Wrexham. Bolton away was hard but we handled the pressure with an excellent point. Play-offs at very least and promotion a big possibility.

John: They need another striker - or two - to support Mullin and, hopefully, Marriott. I think, sadly, that the league will prove too strong for us this year and we will fall short of the play-offs, but achieve an upper half finish. We need to be clinical at set pieces as we may get ‘out-footballed’ and need to take every chance we get.

Rich: The sky is the limit for Wrecsam. Realistically, a successful season will be a top ten finish with positive steps towards the Championship. But given the rapid progress, intent from the owners and recent signings there is no reason to believe that promotion is impossible!

Robert: Top half of the table (between 6 &10), but still shy a few offensive pieces. We are relying too much on some old/ageing players to have a serious chance for promotion this year. A few years of "seasoning" for younger players and a few more dollars spent on outside talent and the Reds will look like a contender in 2026-27.

Johnnie: The team is definitely showing its credentials but it's still early days yet. I hope that the team can make history which no other team has ever made: back-to-back-to back.

Rob: Will be happy top half / top eight this year; it's a season of consolidation, building and preparing for the next push up to the Championship. It may take a couple of seasons but, if that what it takes, I'd be happy with that.

Alun: It would be sensible to learn the difference between the higher leagues. Look for the top ten and pick up some higher-class players in the future. No sense in going up and going back down right away.

David: Not quite yet. They need another striker. Good result at Bolton but played it safe and were satisfied with a draw.

Andrew: Encouraging start....shown we can compete against teams who finished in the top half/play-offs last season. Just need Mullin back fit.
