Phil Parkinson admits Wrexham players will know they could have done better defensively when it comes to analysing their 3-1 loss to Queens Park Rangers.
Richard Kone and Rumarn Burrell added to a Conor Coady own goal as the Rs earned victory at the Stok Cae Ras – with Kieffer Moore netting for the hosts.
And while Parkinson feels his team are being punished by a higher calibre of forwards in the Championship, the 57-year-old feels his side have also been the creators of their own downfall at times.
“The previous home games, we looked like we can create chances and score. But the goals we conceded, one one hand, you’ll say they were clinical, but when we analyse them all, we’ll know we could have done better,” said Parkinson.
“The strikers are better. To be fair to Burrell and Kone, they were in League One last year.
“The first goal was desire from him to score, and the second one, if the setup’s not right in our defensive shape, those five yards away from where you need to be as a team – we got punished with that bit of quality.
“That is the difference and we know that.
“We’ve changed the squad around completely and there was always going to be a period at the start where it doesn’t go completely as you’d want it.
“We’ve got to work this week on the training pitch to put in a performance like we showed at Millwall two weeks ago.”
Defeat leaves Wrexham 21st in the Championship with four points from their opening five league matches of the campaign.
