What happened. Wrexham lost 2-1 to Birmingham City at home, with two soft goals from Phil Neumann, prompting captain Dom Hyam to call for a more 'horrible' streak.
- Hyam said they were 'quite easy to score against' and 'didn't really have to work' for goals.
- Wrexham are winless and without a clean sheet in four matches this season.
- Only five Championship sides conceded more than Wrexham's 65 goals last term.
“We were quite easy to score against tonight, frankly, and they didn't really have to work for their goals.”
— Dom Hyam
Wrexham must address defensive frailties quickly to avoid another mid-table finish.
