Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson expressed a need for tactical improvements after his side settled for a 1-1 draw against Burnley at the Racecourse on September 8. Despite Jacques Ekomie equalizing with a second-half header to secure a point, the manager criticized his team’s passive pressing and defensive positioning in the opening period. Wrexham remains unbeaten through three matches but has yet to record a victory at home this season. The squad now faces injury concerns ahead of their upcoming fixture against West Ham United. Both Max Cleworth and Josh Windass sustained injuries during the match, with Cleworth exiting due to hamstring tightness and Windass replaced following a calf injury. Parkinson remains hopeful that neither player will face a long-term absence as the team prepares for Friday’s 20:00 BST kickoff.
