Wrexham were emphatically downed by West Ham United, but they are still not out for the count. If there is one club that knows about defying the odds in the face of adversity, it is the Red Dragons, with Phil Parkinson well-versed in getting back to his feet when it seems he has been dealt a knockout blow.
Parkinson’s men have won just one of their first seven Championship matches this season, while the 6–0 hammering was the biggest defeat they have suffered during his reign. He admitted his side was “well and truly beaten” at the London Stadium and that they “have to take the criticism,” with a huge improvement demanded against Southampton this weekend.
