When Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac warned fans to “buckle up” for another “crazy” season, this surely wasn’t what the Hollywood stars had in mind. It was a disastrous—albeit “crazy”—night for Wrexham under the London lights. Phil Parkinson’s men journeyed to the capital city, a place they had remained undefeated in since returning to the EFL Championship (eight total games), only to be thrashed 6–0 by recently-relegated West Ham United.Friday’s affair marked a record loss for the Red Dragons and Parkinson under Hollywood’s best, a duo that officially took over in 2021 before leading the then-National League club on a star-studded run of three-consecutive promotions (2022–23, 2023–24, 2024–25). Under the tutelage of actors, Wrexham had never previously lost by a six-goal deficit. The team’s worst result had been a 5–0 loss to Stockport County in Sept. 2023 in EFL League Two play. It’s been an utterly underwhelming start to the new season for a team that had realistic dreams of a fourth-consecutive promotion to the Premier League just last year. Wrexham have managed just one win in the first seven league matches, a 3–0 victory against Millwall at The Den. They remain winless at home and now sit 16th in the Championship standings.Wrexham put together a disjointed performance against Burnley midweek, which perhaps served as an afternoon of foreshadowing for what would soon transpire more harshly on Friday. Wrexham walked away with a 1–1 draw in that affair, yet struggled to get anything going and were passive out of possession. The same reigned true against West Ham, walking away with just a single shot on target and leaving West Ham shot-stopper Mads Hermansen yawning at the back.The Red Dragons have struggled to score all season, unable to piece together more than a one-goal performance in an outing aside from the Millwall victory. They will look to turn the tides—and fast. The next opportunity comes on Sept. 19 against Southampton back at Racecourse Ground.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
