• Wrexham make it seven points from nine
• Parkinson’s side aiming for promotion
• Lee hails return of Paul Mullin

Elliot Lee had his say on Wrexham’s doubters after the Red Dragons continued their fine start to life in League One.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Red Dragons jumped to fourth in the table with a 3-0 win against Reading on Saturday, with Lee among the scorers. Phil Parkinson’s side are aiming to achieve back-to-back-to-back promotions but Lee is aware that Wrexham have their doubters. They haven’t knocked the Welsh club’s confidence, though, and immediate promotion to the Championship is very much the target.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham’s unbeaten start to the League One campaign has been achieved with last season’s top scorer Paul Mullin playing just 16 minutes. The striker made his return from spinal surgery against Reading and Lee said everyone at SToK Racecourse is “buzzing” for Mullin’s comeback.

WHAT LEE SAID

Lee told the club’s media team: “Obviously stepped up a level, people would’ve questioned us and said ‘is this a step too far?’ We know how much talent we have got in the dressing room, how hard we work everyday and how hard the staff push us. Seven points from nine is a great start but that’s all it is, a great start. Hopefully we can continue to build on that and see how far it takes us.”

LEE ON MULLIN’S RETURN

“Everyone is buzzing for Mulls,” Lee added. “He has worked so hard to be back. You can see the energy that he brings on the pitch when he comes on – he gives everyone a lift when you might need it. We just want to get him back up to fitness now. For me personally, me and Mulls work well together so I love having him out on the pitch. Obviously we all want to see him scoring goals again.”

WHAT NEXT FOR WREXHAM?

Lee might get the chance to continue his prolific partnership with Mullin when Wrexham travel to Peterborough next Saturday. Parkinson admitted after the Reading win that he intends to up the intensity of the striker’s training regime this week in order to get him ready.
