Wrexham returned to Championship action on Saturday afternoon, facing off with Millwall at The Den.

Phil Parkinson is still searching for his first win back in the Championship, having overseen two defeats and a draw this term so far.

Wrexham drew 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday in their last league outing, blowing a two-goal lead to settle for a point.

Their Carabao Cup run has been more positive, with a 3-2 victory over Preston North End on Tuesday, their first 90-minute win of 2025/26.

A tough test was expected on their return to the league, with Wrexham backed to lose to Millwall prior to kick-off.

Ahead of the tie getting underway, Parkinson’s starting eleven and substitutes have been confirmed.

Wrexham fans quiz Phil Parkinson vs Millwall

Wrexham fans have since been commenting on the team, which sees Danny Ward once again in net.

There is a first league start of the season for Callum Doyle as well, while Ryan Hardie has been chosen to partner Kieffer Moore up top.

Nathan Broadhead has been left out of the squad altogether, and that is one of several talking points from fans following the team news being released.

One fan wrote: “No Broadhead?”

A second fan echoed the same question, followed by a thinking emoji: “Broadhead?”

“O’Connor on bench but not O’Connell???” asked another.

A fourth joked: “Did Arthur —- in someone’s cereal for Ward to get yet another go?”

Another Wrexham fan wrote: “Strong team but why no Arthur!”

While a sixth tweeted: “What does Parky see in Ward?”

Wrexham fixtures after international break

The meeting with Millwall will be Wrexham’s last for a couple of weeks.

Unlike in League One, when most games still went ahead, Championship teams do not play during the international break.

Three Wrexham players will represent Wales during their upcoming matches under Craig Bellamy.

When the break concludes, the Dragons will first take on Queens Park Rangers on September 13.

Norwich City and Leicester City both represent tough tests in the coming month.

But the September 27 clash with Derby County is perhaps the best chance the club will have to notch a win.
