It did Joe Allen no harm to his career coming to Wrexham on loan I admire your spirit, but he picked up an injury in just our 2nd game with us so technically... |

Does come across rather bitter. We aren't going to sign token Welsh players. They have to improve us. Barely anyone calling for us to sign more Welsh players is mentioning names. No-ones bitter here. I'm a Welsh football fan in general, and I want all the Welsh clubs to do well. I don't even support a specific club anymore. I just find it disappointing when Welsh clubs have almost zero Welsh representation. I would say that about Swansea and Cardiff too if I was concerned. There's been a decent amount of Welsh players available, and going for loans at League 1 level. It's just been frustrating when you look at the Irish representation in the squad - I mean, what's that about? The Wrexham physio is the Ireland national team physio, and has good contacts Wrexham have a few good young welsh players on the books, a couple in the first team squad who may break through |

I have been at the Racecourse for Wrexham - Chester games where the attendance was far in excess of that.. An example www.wrexhamafcarchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=3462 |

Anyone know if Wrexham have any scouts in the Cymru Premier league & especially in the North Wales area?
They missed out on signing this guy Brad Young from TNS, Will Evans Bala Town & a few others recently & many years ago it was Carl Dale Bangor City.

Doesn't look like they're making much effort in recruiting any Welsh players atm. Perhaps if/when the academy improves, quality homegrown players will appear. In previous times (when in the football league) there were always a few Welsh players in the team. |

When was the last time Cardiff and Swansea signed a Welsh player that had no previous ties to the club? Those two only have Welsh lads playing for them because of their academies more often than not. They don't sign welsh players either. It's not within their remit too, to be fair to all of them. They're English clubs.
Only one Welsh club in England that actively does and to their credit is Newport but they probably can afford too as there's more welsh players capable of playing at that level compared to Championship/Premier League.

Was it Mark Delany who signed for Cardiff City from Carmarthen Town? Absolutely correct they are under no obligation to sign exclusively only Welsh players but its bizarre that players who ply the trade at nearby clubs are getting signed by other clubs. |

Isn't that more beneficial? I've never understood the argument that they should just sign Welsh players, it would be nice, but its surely more beneficial for them to develop players for themselves and Wales Cardiff and Swansea aren't English clubs, they're Welsh clubs who have provided a hell of a lot to the national team throughout their existence. The current Welsh squad features 11 players developed by Cardiff or Swansea, add the injury pullouts and its 13 while another 2 have spent time at Cardiff. Both clubs provide a large number of players to our youth teams, and large numbers of ex players play in the Cymru leagues |

I'm sure in time Wrexham will be producing Welsh lads from their academies |

Good 3-0 home win in the cross border derby v Shrewsbury this afternoon, top of the league after 5 games with 13 points.
It is extremely early, but are 3 consecutive promotions on the cards? Has that ever been done before from level 5 to level 2?

Back in the day I am sure Northampton went from fourth division to first and back down to fourth in something like nine seasons. It's in the memory somewhere but would need clarification 😊 |

August 82 Wimbledon kicked off in Division 4 and by August 86 they were starting in then top tier Div 1.
Then stayed there for 14 consecutive seasons and won the FA Cup.

www.bbc.com/sport/football/live/c0k4k18xp2kt3-1 loss to Birmingham and a crowd of 28,000 Wrexham still top though but most of top 6 have a game in hand really good start to the season, sure it will continue this was always going to be a tough game

Not really a surprise and shows the gap between League One and Championship level. Good to get what is probably the hardest game of the season out of the way early on |

Not really a surprise and shows the gap between League One and Championship level. Good to get what is probably the hardest game of the season out of the way early on Parkinson had a shocker. Wrexham had no pressure on the ball at 1-1 and a second Birmingham goal was looking inevitable. Mullin has shown in the FA cup that he can pressure a championship quality defence and yet he refused to bring him on until the collapse was complete and Birmingham were 3-1 up. As soon as he brought Mullin on Wrexham started disrupting Birmingham’s passing around at the back and consequently for the first time in the half able to play further up the pitch and actually get some efforts on goal. He basically meekly surrendered last night by sitting on his hands for so long. The bloke is so mediocre at league one level, can’t believe Wrexham have held on to him for so long. |

Err two successive promotions and currently top of the league is probably why they have held onto him so far… He was easily out thought by a guy in his first managerial role last night. Parkinson might have some lower league promotions to his name but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t higher calibre managers out there who could do better than sitting on their hands when a second goal looks an inevitability with the current personnel/formation, especially given Wrexham’s pulling power at the moment. Their current position is hard to gauge given they have only played one game against a team with a comparable win ratio (which they lost). It’s going to be a much tougher ask this season for them and last night did not auger well given how slowly Parkinson reacted to Wrexham being clearly outplayed by the opposition. |

Not sure it's a bad thing to have a bit of a reality check. They will in teasingly come up against sides demanding possession as they progress - although Brum are underperforming if they don't get promoted automatically this season so not typical League One standard - and they will need to evolve to cope/thrive.
