Despite the tricky start to the 2025/26 Championship season, Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson has managed to get one thing spot on so far.
Wrexham have suffered two successive defeats in the Championship after a difficult start to the campaign.
The Red Dragons have been hit with a reality check in recent weeks, finding themselves on the receiving end of a clinical display from West Brom, who smashed three past Wrexham goalkeeper Danny Ward in a 3-2 win, whilst Southampton also notched two late goals in the Championship opener.
Defensive concerns have been raised by Phil Parkinson, and whilst there is work to be done, Wrexham have shone in the final third.
There has been plenty of quality on display by Wrexham, to the point where they lead the Championship in one stat.
Wrexham lead the Championship in chances created
Via OPTA, Wrexham currently lead the way in the Championship for chances created, having notched a total of nine alongside Stoke City, who sit top of the league after two games.
This is a sign that Phil Parkinson’s side have created some brilliant opportunities, and that creativity is proving to be a major quality within this Wrexham side.
However, Wrexham have struggled to convert these chances, scoring just three of their nine big opportunities, in comparison to Stoke City bagging six of theirs.
This has been the difference in the opening two games between Wrexham getting off to a good start in the Championship and them falling short against top sides.
