Dragons suffered drubbing at Edgeley ParkRemain inside the play-off placesEverybody intends to offer positive responseWHAT HAPPENED?
The Welsh outfit, who have Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney calling the shots at boardroom level, suffered a humbling setback in their latest League Two fixture. They were three goals down before half-time and were unable to find any way back into the game at Edgeley Park.

Wrexham have conceded five goals in three fourth-tier matches this season, with Young conceding that they have much to work on as a collective. He has told : “This was a bad day at the office. But I have no doubt in my mind — and I back everyone in that dressing room on this — that we will put this right, starting on Monday. 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 backwards and something of a wake-up call.”
WHAT THEY SAID
Wrexham remain seventh in the table – and inside the play-off places – on the back of their latest thrashing and Phil Parkinson is another vowing to put things right. The Dragons boss has said: “We had got ourselves in a strong position with recent performances. But that was as bad a first half as I can remember. Now, we have to look at the reasons why it didn’t go right against Stockport. We will do that and put it right next week.”

Wrexham have a week to lick their wounds and work on plugging defensive leaks before welcoming Crewe, the side sat directly above them in the table, to SToK Racecourse on Saturday – with the hope being that a spark can be rediscovered there and that star striker Paul Mullin can record his first goal of the season.
