   ​Wrexham kept 12 Championship clean sheets in 2025-26 [Getty Images]Former Wales international Nia Jones feels Wrexham’s defensive issues can be fixed easily.Phil Parkinson’s charges are yet to win across their four games so far this season, and are awaiting their first clean sheet.The back-to-back-to-back promotion-winning boss lamented both goals conceded in their 2-1 defeat by Birmingham, describing them as “soft”.Jones agreed with Parkinson’s assessment, but believes the Red Dragons can quickly cut out their mistakes at the back.”If you look at the goals, he [Parkinson] said they were two of the worst goals he feels they have conceded under his tenure. They were awful,” she said on BBC’s Feast of Football Podcast.”You can look at that one or two ways. You can think it’s not looking good for Wrexham, or you can say that they are two really quick fixes.”One guy just walks into the back post off a corner. He’s being half held. He doesn’t even jump – you would be fuming with that.”The second one is [poor] defending on the second phase off a throw-in. It’s really fixable stuff, and they are only three games into the season.”He [Parkinson] will absolutely want to pick up a couple of results in the next week, but they’ve got a tough run. Millwall away is tough and then Swansea.”Wrexham have added centre-back Joe Worrall from Burnley on deadline day. He joins other defensive additions Danny Imray, Anthony Patterson, Issa Kabore and Jacques Ekomie.The Red Dragons head to beaten play-off semi-finalists Millwall on Wednesday evening as they hunt their first three points of the season.
