At the other end of the pitch, the Reds have conceded 36 goals in their 25 games this season. 13 sides have conceded more than them this campaign in England’s fourth division.
This just goes to show how good the Reds have been in front of goal and defending so far this season. With that being said, a stat has now come out showing how good they have been from set pieces.
Today a graph has been posted by StatsBomb on Twitter that shows Parkinson’s side and their quality from set plays.
With xG per set piece and xG per set piece conceded on each side of the graph, it shows their quality on each side.
Wrexham are in the top right-hand segment of the graph which means they are positive at both attacking and defending set pieces. This sees them named amongst some elite sides including Arsenal, Juventus and Bayern Munich. Given the pedigree of those sides, it is no mean feat.
The more impressive side of this is the teams that the Reds sit above on this chart. AC Milan, Dortmund and Liverpool all rank worse than them.
Given the elite standard of teams that surround them, it is a superb achievement to be among these names and quality.
