Wrexham See Off Bristol City to Stretch Unbeaten Run to Seven and Close on Play-Offs

Parkinson signals limited January business as defensive discipline reshapes the campaign.

Overview

  • Wrexham won 2-0 at the STōK Racecourse, with Nathan Broadhead curling in the opener before a George Thomason corner went in off goalkeeper Radek Vitek for an own goal.
  • The result lifted Wrexham to 10th in the Championship, two points from the top six, and extended a sequence of four straight league clean sheets.
  • After conceding two per game across their first six league matches, Wrexham have allowed just over 0.6 per match in the next 11 as their back line tightened up.
  • Phil Parkinson cited Virgil van Dijk’s recent comments to reinforce basics and warned against complacency, with Blackburn up next and a chance to register a first five-match league shutout streak under his tenure.
  • Chief executive Michael Williamson confirmed funds for January, though Parkinson expects only selective additions, while co-owner Ryan Reynolds celebrated the goals with playful Instagram posts.
