  "account": "Former Wales international Nia Jones believes Wrexham's defensive problems can be swiftly resolved. The Red Dragons, who have yet to win any of their four games this season, are awaiting their first clean sheet. Parkinson's charges conceded two soft goals in their 2-1 defeat to Birmingham, according to Jones and Parkinson. Jones agreed with Parkinson's assessment, but is confident the team can quickly eliminate their defensive errors. She pointed out that one goal was a corner kick where the defender didn't even jump, and the other was poor defending on the second phase of a throw-in. With only three games into the season, these issues are fixable, according to Jones. Parkinson will likely want to secure a couple of results in the coming week, but Wrexham face tough matches against Millwall and Swansea. The team recently added centre-back Joe Worrall from Burnley on deadline day, joining other defensive signings like Danny Imray, Anthony Patterson, Issa Kabore, and Jacques Ekomie.",
