When Phil Parkinson recently celebrated his 150th game in charge of Wrexham, he will have reflected on his reign with fondness.
The former Bradford and Sunderland manager ended the club’s run of 15 years in the non-league wilderness in style last season, amassing a record-breaking 111 points to lift the National League title.
However, despite the Red Dragons sitting fourth in the League Two table and just three points behind leaders Stockport, there is currently a sense of unrest among a large section of supporters.
It follows a run which has seen Wrexham win just two of their last nine league matches, with their faltering away form becoming a real cause for concern.

While star striker Paul Mullin got Parkinson out of jail with a late penalty to secure a point against struggling Forest Green Rovers on Tuesday evening, it failed to paper over the cracks of another poor performance on the road.
It might seem harsh to question the future of a manager with a win percentage of more than 60 percent in his two-and-a-half years at Wrexham.
With the club’s ambitious owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney targeting Premier League football, however, there are definitely doubts over what could happen if he fails to achieve back-to-back promotions this season.
Parkinson accused of being too rigid with tactics
One of the main charges levelled at Parkinson is that his tactics are too rigid, as he is often reluctant to change from his favoured 3-5-2 formation, even when his team are losing.
