Wales fans demand star player make way for Wrexham star as striker gets clumsy red card against Armenia
WALES fans fumed at Kieffer Moore’s clumsy red card against Armenia and called for a replacement.
Moore was sent off for an off the ball incident, leaving Wales to lose 4-2 to Armenia with ten men.
So fans raged at the Bournemouth man and called for Wrexham’s Paul Mullin to take his place.
One tweeted: “Paul Mullin couldn’t do any worse than Kieffer Moore.”
Another said: “People calling for Mullin to start over Kieffer Moore so somethings gone horribly wrong in that Wales game.”
One added: “Mullin is a better striker than Keiffer Moore. He honestly is.”
Mullin has never played at international level but he is eligible to play for Wales through his grandmother.
The striker scored 46 goals in 51 games in all competitions for the National League chapions.
The ex-Cambridge hotshot hopes his goal scoring heroics for Wrexham, owned by Hollywood A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, can lead to an international call-up.
But Wales boss Robert Page, who overlooked Mullin for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Armenia and Turkey this month, wants to see how he fares in League Two next season.
Page said: “If he’s playing in League Two and scoring goals, then we will look at and consider him.
“But there’s a massive gap from where he’s been to League Two. We will continue to monitor him.
“I watched him against Sheffield United in the FA Cup and I was very impressed by him. I wouldn’t want to play against him.
“Forget his goal scoring and his eye for goal, I like him because he’s a pain in the backside to play against.
“He’s like a rat, I like his work rate and I want that.
“We will keep monitoring him and if he keeps scoring goals as he goes up the levels he’ll prove himself.”
