A challenge for Wrexham
The challenge came from the former Hull City striker Aaron McLean. He had said his farewell to the game back in 2018, however, it seems he is keeping a keen eye on tier-5 soccer. While everyone was busy discussing whether Wrexham has made a blunder on their promotional path or not, he took to Twitter to issue a challenge.

Sharing the screenshot of the table McLean Wrote, “Good luck shifting them now!!” His Tweet was a challenge for the Wrexham team to shift Notts County back from the tabletop. Given they play against each other next, that match will definitely clear a lot of paths for the winning team to promotion.
Both teams are at the same point, with Notts playing one extra match. If Wrexham wins the next matchup, they will still have one match buffer and will climb ahead of their season’s arch-rivals. However, a defeat can easily turn their plans of promotion off.

Just one spot for promotion means that one of these two teams will have a record-breaking season and still not get the promotion. This fact has raised the talk of whether the National League requires an additional automatic promotional spot or not. What are your views on this? Drop them in the comments.
