Wrexham are yet to win a Championship game and currently sit top of an unwanted table.
The Red Dragons began the season with a 2-1 defeat to Southampton, conceding two late goals versus Will Still’s side.
They secured their first win of 2025/26 in midweek, beating Hull City on penalties in the Carabao Cup.
But Wrexham lost to West Brom on Saturday afternoon, shipping three at home against the Baggies.
After two Championship fixtures, a concerning Wrexham statistic has now emerged.

Wrexham forward investment yet to yield results
So far, there have been nine new players brought to the Racecourse Ground this summer.
Over a third of those arrivals have been signed to improve the club’s frontline.
Josh Windass, an attacking midfielder by trade, joined for free and has been playing just off the main striker.
Kieffer Moore cost Wrexham £2m and has started up top in their two Championship fixtures so far.
Ryan Hardie arrived in a £700,000 deal thanks to a clause in his Plymouth Argyle contract.
Most recently, Nathan Broadhead cost an initial £7.5m with a potential increase to £10m if add-ons are met.
Scoring goals was a problem for Wrexham last term. And despite three new signings in the frontline, four if you include Windass, putting the ball in the back of the net has once again proved difficult in the opening weeks of 2025/26.
As per FotMob, Wrexham have so far missed seven big chances in the second tier, which is the most in the division ahead of Stoke City.
| Team | Big chances missed |
| Wrexham | 7 |
| Stoke City | 5 |
| Leicester City | 5 |
| Portsmouth | 4 |
| Charlton Athletic | 4 |
One positive from Wrexham struggles
As already mentioned, Wrexham were not the most prolific in 2024/25, seeing the club spend big on Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez in January.
Yet, while they continue to miss chances this season, there is one positive from the data.
Wrexham have so far had two pretty tough fixtures in the Championship, with Southampton a Premier League team last term and West Brom a play-off chasing side.
But the Dragons still managed to create plenty of chances against both teams, suggesting they are capable of holding their own against the better teams in the division.
Obviously, more of those shots will need to find the back of the net, but creativity doesn’t seem to be a problem for the Welsh side this season.
