What happened. Wrexham lost 2-1 at home to Birmingham, leaving them winless and without a clean sheet in four matches this season. Pundit Iwan Roberts said Phil Parkinson is probably under pressure for the first time.

• Roberts criticizes Parkinson's stubborn tactics, sticking with a back three when chasing games.
• Parkinson called the goals conceded 'two of the softest' in his reign.
• Roberts notes last season's poor home defensive record cost Wrexham a play-off spot.

“I think he is probably under pressure for the first time since he's been at Wrexham.”

— Iwan Roberts

Parkinson may need to adapt tactics or strengthen his large squad to turn results around.
