“Top of the whole fu**ing lot,” one fan responded. Others soon followed suit with their predictions. Most of the fans are hoping for the club to finish in the top three. However, some realistic fans think the club will need to upgrade the squad to be in contention for promotion. Many fans predict the Red Dragons will finish in the top three due to the three automatic qualification spots.

Top of the League.

When you see all the teams listed, it feels a lot stronger division now! 😬
I think it might be tougher than a lot of people think but I’ll be happy with the playoffs in our first season back.— Craig Jones 🏆🏴 (@craigyjones17) May 28, 2023
Fantastic to be back in the league with proper clubs again really is and knowing we will be competing
We will be up there
— Shaun Winter 🔴⚪🔴⚪ (@Shaunwrexham) May 28, 2023
I think we finish 3rd

Top 3

Gotta be top 3 with the squad as is. Would really like a GK announcement soon regardless of Fozzy returning or retiring. Either is fine, just don’t drag it out. He’ll be a Wrexham legend forever either way.

Top 5. Anything less is a failure imo
— George Jones🏴 (@GeorgeJonesWxm) May 28, 2023
2nd. It's a stronger midtable and it's deeper. It's a league were a couple bad results late in the season can drop a team a few spots.

Top 3 after watching that

The playoffs will decide the remaining promotion spot. The clubs finishing fourth to seventh will play playoff semifinals and final to determine the remaining spot. Wrexham will definitely look to finish in the top seven, but realistically they will hope to stay up. We can see the rivalry between Notts County and the Red Dragons continues next season.
However, Wrexham will reignite another rivalry in the upcoming season. Grimsby Town, the club that knocked them out of promotion playoffs last season, are also in League Two. Ryan Reynolds’ club will also face Salford City, the club owned by the famous Manchester United Class of 92 members. Meanwhile, the recent odds have made the Welsh club favorites for another promotion.
