Injuries, noise & scalps - Wrexham's season so far

Wrexham have steadied after a difficult start, drawing with Middlesbrough and Wolves to sit six points off the play-offs with 15 games played.

Wrexham have recovered from a run of three defeats in four matches to claim four points from home draws against promotion-hopefuls Middlesbrough and Wolverhampton Wanderers, entering the international break in positive spirits.

Phil Parkinson's side have shown defensive solidity with the fourth-best expected goals against (18.17) and just one error leading to a goal. Kieffer Moore has scored five times from an xG of 3.23, outperforming expectations, while summer signings including Jacques Ekomie, Issa Kabore, Ben Whiteman, Joe Worrall and Callum O'Hare have settled in.

However, attacking output remains a concern — only five teams have a lower xG total than Wrexham's 16.80, and they have managed just 50 shots on target.

After heavy defeats to West Ham (6-0), Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion at home, plus losses to Blackburn and Sheffield United, Parkinson demanded a reset. The manager said: "We know we've got the capabilities to win games, but like everybody, you can easily have a capability to lose a game and you've got to be right at it."

Wrexham sit six points adrift of the play-offs and eight clear of relegation, with injuries and off-field issues including fielding ineligible players adding to their challenges.
