Wrexham's Parkinson issues response to pressure talk

Phil Parkinson, in his sixth season as Wrexham's manager, addressed mounting speculation about his future amid a report of growing pressure at the club. Wrexham's recent 2-1 loss to West Bromwich Albion at the Racecourse Ground left the team in 17th place after 10 Championship games. Despite the setback, Parkinson expressed confidence that his squad can reach the play-offs this season.

He acknowledged that the club's slow start to the 2026-27 campaign has led to increased scrutiny, but emphasized that they are still one point ahead of their position last season. Parkinson urged his team to focus on performance improvements, particularly when leading by a goal, to avoid the mistakes that led to conceding two costly goals against West Brom.
