Considering Paul Mullin has scored 11 of the goals that have helped propel Wrexham to second in the National League, a division from which they are desperate to win promotion, one might be forgiven for assuming the powers that be at the Racecourse Ground would wholeheartedly endorse any tweaks or adjustments their top scorer might consider implementing in an effort to improve his game.
