A Bump in the Road
So, Wrexham A.F.C. hit a bit of a speed bump, and manager Phil Parkinson isn’t mincing his words. After an impressive 11-game unbeaten streak, they stumbled against Accrington Stanley, ending in a 2-0 defeat. Ouch, right? Tommy Leigh and Rosaire Longelo made sure the hosts took all three points, and to add salt to the wound, Paul Mullin hit the woodwork and missed a penalty in the first half.
Phil Parkinson’s Pep Talk
Now, let’s talk about Phil Parkinson’s post-defeat pep talk. You know how managers are, always with the motivational speeches.

He went on, “It’s about not being too down about it [speaking about the defeat against Accrington] but also an acceptance that we need to do better in certain areas.” That’s the kind of honesty we appreciate.
