Wrexham suffered a thrashing defeat in their ninth game of the League Two campaign. Ryan Reynolds’ side currently occupies the play-off position, but they are in dire need of significant improvement after the lackluster performance in the game. Meanwhile, the Red Dragons’ captain reflects upon their match and aims to enhance in every forefront before the upcoming fixture.

The reigning National League champions already conceded five goals in three different games. This mirrored the refinement needed in their defensive strategy. On this note, Wrexham’s midfielder highlighted the importance of elevating their performance as a distinctive unit to return to winning ways.

The Red Dragons captain demands squad improvement

The Welsh club currently occupies a seventh position in EFL are suffered their 4 defeat against Stockport. It was a rare humbling for the Red Dragons since losing by the same scoreline at Luton City, back in 2014. On this occasion, Luke Young acknowledged their underwhelming stint throughout the game. The Robin’s captain recognized their recent success while they were unable to emulate the same performance against Stockport. Yong admitted to The Athletic, “This was a bad day at the office. I back everyone in that dressing room on this that we will put this right, starting on Monday.”

Wrexham’s defensive nuisance was portrayed against MK Dons, Swindon Town, and, most recently, Stockport. Luke Young recognized that there is a minimal margin of error in League Two and dropping points can prove detrimental to their campaign. He also added in the interview, “The standard has gone up (since winning promotion) and we have had to raise our game. Until Stockport, we were slowly adapting to the step up and slowly finding our feet. This has been a step backward and something of a wake-up call.”

Consequently, Ryan Reynolds’s side was left nursing their wounds after Stockport laid bare their defense, resulting in an embarrassing defeat in the EFL fixture.

Wrexham suffers loss to Stockport County

Stockport County nullified Red Dragon’s impressive seven-match unbeaten streak with a resounding 5-0 victory. Isaac Olaofe’s hat trick secured the game for County. They exposed Wrexham’s sloppy backline, allowing opportunities to arise during the first half of the match. Mark Howard, the Wrexham goalkeeper, was vulnerable to Louie Barry and Paddy Madden while they added to their goal tally in the latter part of the game.

The Robbins managed to convert just five shots on targets throughout the entire match. Phil Parkinson’s men surrendered possession under pressure and managed to secure only 47% ball against the 9 place team in EFL. However, Wrexham fans and the co-owner are still optimistic that the team can elevate their gameplay and prepare themselves for the upcoming league fixtures against Crewe Alexandra on 30 September.
