Wrexham Manager Parkinson Plans Changes Seeking First Home Win Against Oxford United

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson stresses the importance of focusing on delivering a consistent and quality 90-minute performance against Oxford United rather than fixating on securing their first home league win, following their recent 1-0 defeat to Stoke City. Despite creating many chances this season, Parkinson acknowledges the need for more clinical finishing to capitalize on pivotal moments in games, which has been a key missing element. He is considering squad rotation for the upcoming run of seven games in 22 days, with summer signings Nathan Broadhead and Sam Smith in contention to start against Oxford, aiming to maintain performance levels and manage player fatigue. Parkinson expressed frustration with the team's inability to threaten an equalizer in the Stoke match and emphasized sticking to the game plan that had previously led to three successive promotions. The manager remains optimistic about the squad's potential and insists on analyzing performances without becoming overly discouraged, highlighting the group's hard work in training. Wrexham currently sits 18th in the Championship, narrowly above the relegation zone, and will look to improve results as they face Oxford United, who are just below them in the table.
