Parkinson demands more from Wrexham after draw

Manager Phil Parkinson acknowledged Wrexham have room for improvement after they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Burnley.

Jacques Ekomie's second-half header saw the Red Dragons come from behind to earn a point against a side who started the evening bottom of the Championship.

Wrexham are unbeaten in three games but are still searching for their first win of the season at the Racecourse.

"There are things we can do better," said Parkinson, whose side went into the fixture after a 3-0 win at Millwall and 0-0 draw at Swansea.

"Without the ball, tactically we didn't get it quite right. They changed a couple of things and we were also a bit passive in terms of the way we pressed as well.

"It was a combination of those two factors and if you look at the Swansea and Millwall games we restricted two teams to hardly a shot on goal.

"Against Burnley there was just a bit too much space in areas and we need to look at that.

"We got caught 10 to 15 yards too deep at times. At half-time we rectified that and the pressing was loads better."

Wrexham are away to another side relegated from the Premier League, leaders West Ham United, on Friday evening (20:00 BST).

There are doubts over the availability of Max Cleworth and Josh Windass after injuries against Burnley, but Parkinson is hopeful the blows are not too serious.

Defender Cleworth came off after half an hour while forward Windass did not come back out for for the second half.

"Max looks like his hamstring's tightened up and Josh got a kick on the calf," Parkinson added.

"[Max] he felt it early in the half actually and we kept saying to him 'are you alright' and he wanted to stay on. I don't think it's too serious, but we'll see.

"Josh had got a whack on the calf and when you've made one sub in the first period, you've only got then two entries in the second period.

"He probably could have gone out and tried it, but we just decided to make the change then."
