With 41 points from 20 games, the Red Dragons, led by Phil Parkinson, are fighting tooth and nail to climb further and secure a Championship spot. However, Phil Parkinson has hinted at a “lot of decisions” to make, with players expected to move in and out to prepare for the busy second half of the season. Despite playing one more game than league leaders Wycombe Wanderers, Wrexham currently sits third, trailing second-placed Birmingham. Do you agree the Welsh club’s journey in the EFL League One has been inspiring, but the road ahead remains challenging?

With 118 wins and numerous records, including being the first manager to record seven clean sheets in the team’s first 12 EFL league games since the 1978–79 season, the 57-year-old has done everything in his power to lead the team to its current position. Do you not agree? 

With a strong squad already in place, Phil Parkinson has hinted at some movements in January to keep the momentum alive. “January comes, and that process is ongoing always because we’ve got players on loan who could come back, We’ve got other players who’ve been out the frame and may want to go so there’s a lot of decisions to be made,” he said.

The confidence of the 57-year-old is clear. “My job is to sit down with everybody and make sure we make the right ones and keep the momentum we’ve got.”

He also emphasizes that Wrexham has a talented squad, suggesting that the players perform well individually and collectively. “All in all, the points tally from the games has been outstanding from us. We‘ve got some really good players and the squad is strong. Who knows, we might even improve that in January,“ reflects Parkinson’s confidence and openness to further improving the team.

Should Wrexham focus on signings, or is the current squad strong enough to push on?

Wrexham’s impressive run of form under Parkinson continues, but their latest unbeaten streak took an unexpected pause. After four consecutive wins, the Reds were held to a draw against Cambridge United at The Racecourse.

Yet, Wrexham fans have plenty to celebrate—especially their unbeaten home record. Apart from managing the club, he had engrossed himself with Hollywood in recent times. 

How does Phil Parkinson stay in touch with Ryan Reynolds?

Phil Parkinson shared his thoughts on the presence of Ryan Reynolds, and other notable celebrities like Channing Tatum and Billie Joe Armstrong at the game. “I had a catch-up with Ryan before the game, it was great to see him. It is always a bit special when Ryan’s over here because he’s the joint owner of the football club and it’s good to have a chat with him.“

Parkinson emphasizes having Ryan in attendance adds a special feeling, given his role as a joint owner of the club and his deep involvement in Wrexham’s journey.

Parkinson mentions he stays in regular contact with both Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney via text to keep them updated on the team’s progress, showing their active interest and hands-on approach as owners. “Obviously I am in touch with Rob and Ryan through texting as we go along because they like to be updated all the time.”

However, while having the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with Ryan was a positive moment, Parkinson expresses a hint of regret that the team couldn’t secure a victory for him on the day against Cambridge United.

So it won’t be an easy window for Parkinson’s, but the right moves could make all the difference. What do you think Wrexham should prioritize?
