If it’s t denying a goalscoring opportunity, it’s still a dangerous challenge. So if you add two scenarios toger he should have been off pitch. It’s a dangerous challenge and obviously, Paul Mullin is our talisman”.

"I’ve only just got news in second half (that he has punctured his lung). One of physios went with him. We’ll find out later. I’m fuming about it, I’ve got to be honest with you. It was a clumsy, reckless, challenge in a pre-season game and I’m t happy with it at all. I haven’t seen goalie and he’s probably best steering clear of us for time being because we’re t very happy," Wrexham head coach added.
