Add as preferred source on Google

Wrexham were held to a 1-1 draw in the Championship against Birmingham City, meaning they have failed to win at home in the competition this season.

They will have to wait until after the international break to attempt to secure a first victory at the Racecourse Ground in the second tier this campaign.

The Red Dragons impressed in the first half of the game, with George Dobson putting them ahead before an early second-half goal by Patrick Roberts ensured the points were shared.

Dobson has impressed Phil Parkinson this season, as the midfielder has been one of Wrexham’s standout performers against Birmingham.

While there were positives from the game, there was one stat that emerged that may worry the Welsh club’s manager.

Wrexham have dropped the most points from winning positions in the Championship this season

Wrexham once again were winning in the Championship and failed to hold onto the result as they allowed the Blues to equalise in the second half after the hosts took a first-half lead.

The Red Dragons have now let nine points go from winning positions this campaign in the second tier, more than any other club.

Phil Parkinson’s side now have a record of two draws and one defeat after they have been leading at half-time in league games this campaign.

This may worry the manager, in their failure to hold onto leads, as he wants to ensure that the club aren’t dragged into a relegation battle but that they finish comfortably in the division.

Wrexham have scored in every game this season

While there may be a concern that the Welsh club are not able to get over the line with a winning result, there are positives to take from the Birmingham result.

Wrexham have now scored in all nine league games this season, the only club to do so from those competing in the Championship.

This is something that Parkinson will look to build confidence off, with there being a growing sense they will soon get consistent wins because of their potency in front of goal.

It is the hardest thing to do in football, according to Parkinson, and so he will not be worried, as he has seemingly found a way to make their defensive frailties disappear.
