Wrexham's Parkinson Set to Rotate Squad Against Port Vale

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is set to rotate his squad for Saturday's League Two clash against Port Vale at the Racecourse Ground.

The Dragons are coming off a busy week, having played two games in four days, with a 2-1 win over Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday following their 1-1 draw against Bradford City on Saturday.

Parkinson has hinted that he will make changes to the starting lineup against Port Vale, with the Welsh side having a crucial FA Cup tie against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on the horizon.

“It's a chance to look at different players, who might not have started recently," Parkinson said in his pre-match press conference. "We have a big game next week, and we want to make sure everyone is fresh and ready.”

Key players such as Paul Mullin, Elliot Lee, and Jordan Davies are likely to be rested, providing opportunities for fringe players like Jake Hyde, Ollie Palmer, and Liam McAlinden to stake their claim.

While Parkinson has acknowledged the importance of the Port Vale game, he also underlined the necessity of ensuring squad depth for the demanding FA Cup fixture.

“We're still in the early stages of the season, and everyone needs to be ready to play their part,” Parkinson added.

Wrexham will be looking to maintain their strong start to the season, having climbed to 4th place in League Two following their impressive win against Doncaster. However, Port Vale will be a tough opponent, having won their last two league games.

The game against Port Vale provides an opportunity for Parkinson to evaluate his squad's strength and ensure that all players are ready to contribute in the coming weeks. While rotation might be the key to maintaining momentum in the league, the FA Cup tie against Sheffield United represents a significant opportunity for Wrexham to make a statement and secure a lucrative financial boost.
