Wrexham is eyeing an automatic promotion spot this season. They narrowly missed out on the promotion last season. The world’s third-oldest club finished second last season behind Stockport by six points missing out on automatic promotion.

They went into the playoffs for the second available spot for the promotion to League Two from the National League. Meanwhile, their journey ended in the semifinal of the playoffs as they went down to Grimsby Town in front of their new owner and Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds.

A dominant performance from the Ryan Reynolds club

Wrexham made their intentions clear from the kickoff. They dominated the game from the word go, creating chances. Ryan Barnett came close in the 11th minute, but his strike hit the post. Finally, the pressure paid off in the dying moments of the first half. A blistering strike from James Jones hits the crossbar, and the ball ricocheted off the York city goalkeeper over the line.
