What has manager James Collins said?

Speaking to the official club website, Collins said: “It's really exciting. I went to their first game in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy against Salford, and I think there was 6,700 there or something which, in that competition, you don't normally get crowds quite as high as that.

“There's obviously an excitement around Wrexham worldwide at the moment, and their squad for this competition is phenomenal.

“They’re second in League One, and their starting 11 and their second 11 could finish in the top half of League One.

He added: “What a test to play against the likes of (Paul) Mullin etc for our boys. It’s a real challenge and we will try and rise to the challenge.

“We’ll be realistic. We know it's a real tough ask with a young group and as I always say on those nights, you see a lot of high scores and freak scores.

“We'll go there with a plan, and if we can show the spirit we showed tonight and show a little bit more quality, hopefully the supporters that come along will enjoy the night there. We will certainly enjoy having a go at it.”
