Wrexham manager Parkinson reflected on defensive struggles, suggesting transfer speculation may have affected his players in the Birmingham loss. The Red Dragons started the same back three of Zak Vyner, Hyam, and Callum Doyle in all four games this season. Defender Hyam emphasized the need for the team to become "horrible" at the back, stating they need a solid base to work from.

He added that defenders must pride themselves on being solid and willing to be unpleasant when necessary. Wrexham faces Millwall on Wednesday night at 19:45 BST as they search for answers following the setback. Parkinson acknowledged uncertainty in the camp due to players arriving and rumors circulating, admitting the team lacked belief in the first half against Birmingham.

The Scotland centre-back stressed that the group is talented but must improve defensive solidity moving forward.
