WHAT HAPPENED?
Mullin has been a talismanic presence at SToK Racecourse since becoming one of the first marquee signings for Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. He is a three-time Player of the Year in North Wales and a man with 110 goals to his name.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 30-year-old frontman has, however, found a step up into League One tough. Struggles for form and fitness have limited his game time and led to a surprising tumble down the pecking order being taken. Mullin has been left out of matchday squads entirely in recent weeks.

DID YOU KNOW?
That is due to the level of competition that he now faces, with transfer records being broken when acquiring Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez in January, and Mullin has not figured in a third tier fixture since January 28 – taking in just one substitute EFL Trophy appearance since then.

WHAT PHIL PARKINSON SAID
Parkinson is not ruling Mullin out of his plans, in another promotion bid, but has told of the selection headaches that he now faces: “We’ve got a lot of strikers. It’s difficult. We can’t keep everyone involved. But we will keep assessing things, looking at training all the time and picking a team, and the bench, accordingly.”
