More accomplished Wrexham need 'A game' at Swansea

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson asserts that his team are a more accomplished Championship side compared to when they played against Swansea City last season. Swansea has won only one of their past 11 league meetings against Wrexham, with the last victory coming last season. In their most recent encounter, Wrexham secured the highest finish of the 2025-26 campaign by ending the season in seventh place.

Swansea, currently leading the second tier, have collected 10 of the 12 points on offer this season. Parkinson pointed to Wrexham's 3-0 win against Millwall in midweek as evidence of their progress since their loss to Swansea last term, noting that they demonstrated greater control during the game this time around. He emphasized that the players have adapted to the level and the squad has been strengthened.

Wrexham goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux played a crucial role in a notable team move during their win against Watford. Parkinson cautioned his team to be wary of Swansea's Chile international goalkeeper Eom Ji-sung, who played a significant part in their 2-0 victory over Watford. He reiterated that the team needs to play their best to secure a positive result and expressed their readiness to execute their training plan and bring their A game to the match against Swansea on Saturday.
