'Our problems are all over the pitch'

We asked Wrexham supporters if the Red Dragons' finishing is holding them back after manager Phil Parkinson said his side must be more clinical with their chances.

Here is what some fans had to say:

Phil: We have too many injured strikers. How can they recover and then be up to match speed on their return? Needed a decent striker in the summer instead of our obsession with wing-backs. We have created our own troubles and need a top striker next transfer window.

Huw: Poor passing is to blame for results to date. Better delivery will result in more goals. Every team has injuries but we miss [Josh] Windass greatly. Need to strengthen the attack in January. We will stay up but it is going to be a long season!

Jay: Feels like the fans have turned. Unfortunately feels like Parky (Parkinson) is on borrowed time now. In my opinion, £8m should buy a keeper who is far more consistent than [Anthony] Patterson, and £7.5m (plus add-ons) should buy a player who's had FAR more impact than [Nathan] Broadhead.

While our business in the National League, League One and League Two was excellent, it's been abysmal both seasons in the Championship.

Dafydd: A consistent finisher up top has been needed for the last four-five transfer windows. It should be the top priority in January, though finding such a striker at a reasonable price will prove a tough ask for Steve Nickson.

Philip: Hit and hope is Wrexham's strategy. Their build-up play is so predictable, teams find it easy to counteract this with pace. Some of the players are like headless chickens running after lost causes.

How many midfielders do you need who get in each other's way? They haven't learned from the West Ham defeat. If you think Parkinson will turn it around you're very much mistaken. Old school manager.

Mike: Strikers, played in their natural position or in a good partnership, will always find the net. We don't have a working partnership, aren't playing people where they want to be and have rarely created as many chances as we did at Ewood [Park]. Our problems are all over the pitch.

Lucy: Wrexham are looking at the wrong end to solve their woes. What needs fixing first and fast is their leaky defence. They concede goals for fun. After 12 games they have let in an average of 1.5 goals per game.

This means that on average they can only win a game if they score two goals. Their defence has taken the 0-0 and the 1-1 draws off the table. They have taken the 1-0 victory off the table.

If they fix things at the back they will start to accumulate more points. They will move up the table and teams they play will have less confidence as they will have to work harder to get a goal. Unless this changes Wrexham will continue to be in the lower half of the Championship rather than pressing for a play-off place. Yes, good teams score goals, but they're also parsimonious at the back.
