The latest episode of the documentary saw a spat breaking out between striker Paul Mullins and skipper Ben Tozer during the half-time break. Wrexham, who was trailing by a goal against rivals Notts County, had the chance to level things, but Mullin failed to see Tozer make a run towards the far post as he smashed the ball wide. The Reds skipper was not impressed with the Mullin’s actions, as he coldly let out his feelings as soon as he entered the dressing room.
Ben Tozer: “Use your f**king head man. You should have squared that.”
Paul Mullin: “I didn’t see anyone.”
Ben Tozer: “There are three f**king people and we haven’t got a f**king goal. F**k me they were calling for it in the middle of the goal.”
Paul Mullin: “Have you ever not seen a pass?”
Ben Tozer: “Yeah, but f**king hell, don’t take your f**king time.”
Paul Mullin: “I’d square it if I’d f**king seen someone. F**king hell, you can’t pass the ball to someone you can’t see.”
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson eventually had to calm things down between his star players before things turned more heated. Despite their attempts, Wrexham fell short of leveling the game as Notts County managed to bag the win at the end of the final whistle.
“Welcome to Wrexham” has audiences hooked, giving fans an insight into their favorite club and its players. The opening episode of Season 2 saw owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney share their perspectives after failing to bag promotion during their first season with the club.

Ryan Reynolds touches down on his biggest fear with Wrexham
The Hollywood duo have put a lot of time, effort, and money into the project, and failure to clinch promotion for the second season in a row could have been disastrous.
Talking about their fears surrounding Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds had this to say, “We’re heavily invested in building this club, the stadium itself. And if we don’t get promoted this year, the club is completely, totally, and wholly unsustainable.” If we do not get promoted this year, we are f***ed,” added McElhenney.
