00:00So, Charles, looking at Wrexham this season in League One, they are doing well. It's fair
00:07to say, of course, the Hollywood story that is Wrexham, it keeps on chugging along. But
00:12of course, in League One, they are facing a stiffer competition than perhaps they faced
00:17in the leagues below them. Of course, they did have a bit of a due with Notts County
00:21getting out of non-league, but this season you've got the likes of Wicca Wanderers, you've
00:25got the likes of Birmingham City, who are up there in League One, Huddersfield Town
00:30doing quite well as well. I think Wrexham are still sat third, but January, the window
00:35is now opened and so we can buy and sell players. So who does Wrexham need to be sort of bringing
00:42in or what positions do they need to fill to strengthen, to really push for those automatic
00:46places? Because as I say there, you've got Wickham and you've got Birmingham City currently
00:51sat in those automatic places. But Wrexham, I'm sure, would love to get ahead of those
00:55and get themselves into the championship. It's going to be a tall order, but if they
00:59get January right, surely that's a possibility. But I'm sure you're now going to let us know
01:03who they could do with in this month.
01:05Yeah, obviously, I think a goal scorer is just absolutely vital. You see Birmingham
01:12City breaking League One spending records to bring in Jay Stansfield from a loan last
01:17season to full-time and he's flying in the goal department. Elliot Leigh, top goal scorer
01:23with just six goals to his name. Obviously, it's a bit of a cliché, you need a goal scorer.
01:29They are absolute gold dust, the lower you go down in the EFL and then into the National
01:35League as well. So it's clearly an issue that they didn't think they'd have. Paul Mullin
01:41has been unbelievable for the last two or three, four seasons for Wrexham. But you do
01:47have to replace these ageing players, you do have to get fresh talent, you do have to
01:50go sometimes abroad and look at other players. They've been linked with a number of players
01:56who are more towards the £2m plus mark. People are forgetting that Wrexham's actual transfer
02:03record is just about £600,000, which is absolutely remarkable. It shows how long they've come
02:11in such a short space of time. But yeah, obviously promotion's the goal and even if they are
02:17to miss out on the top two spots with the likes of Wiccan and Blues being fantastic
02:23so far this season, they're going to want to win the playoffs at least. If they don't,
02:29then possibly spending in terms of wages could fall back on them. We've mentioned before
02:33FFP, PSR could come into it. But looking at them, just 1.5 goals per match, which is ranked
02:40seventh in League One. So it almost suggests that they're not scoring enough goals. The
02:45defence is absolutely fine. The best defence in the division, 0.7, conceded the game, 13
02:51clean sheets, which is the most. And as a team like Wrexham pushing that sort of higher
02:56spots, they need to find some more goals.
