CANNON FIRES OUT WARNING!

WREXHAM midfielder Andy Cannon has warned that opposition teams will try and find an “extra five per cent” to wreck the club’s promotion hopes.

The global fame the Red Dragons have acquired following the Hollywood takeover by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has inevitably led to a target on their backs in the EFL’s bottom tier this term.

Their final four contests will see meetings against play-off hopefuls Crawley and Crewe sandwich a game versus relegation-threatened Forest Green before the regular campaign is concluded with a potential winner takes-all clash at home to current league leaders Stockport.

A quartet with incentive enough, then, to derail Wrexham’s back-to-back promotion bid.

But, having missed out on a chance to establish a five-point automatic promotion cushion following Tuesday night’s 1-0 loss to mid-table Doncaster, Cannon is wary of the performance boosts he has witnessed from sides throughout 2023-24.
