Overview
- Phil Neumann scored two headed goals to give Birmingham a 2-1 win at the Racecourse Ground, ending their winless start to the Championship season.
- Wrexham levelled early in the second half through Callum Doyle but retook the lead just after the hour when Neumann headed in from a second-phase cross.
- Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson called the goals "two of the softest" he had seen and said he was "shellshocked" by the defensive errors that cost his team.
- Parkinson has already given a debut to new signing Jacques Ekomie and said he urgently wants a central defender and a forward before the summer transfer window closes.
- The result was a timely response for Birmingham after a 6-1 Carabao Cup loss to Brentford and leaves Wrexham still without a league win, increasing scrutiny on their defence and recruitment plans.
