Former Premier League manager Tony Pulis has weighed in on Wrexham's chances in the Championship.

The Red Dragons have enjoyed an epic rise from the National League to the Championship in recent times but have struggled in England’s second division so far under manager Phil Parkinson.

Wrexham splashed over £30Mon new players over the summer, but currently find themselves 21st in the Championship after a slow start to the campaign which has left many fans worried about their chances of relegation. 

Speaking to Coin Poker, however, Pulis believes there is nothing to worry about and that Wrexham have more than enough to not only stay up but thrive this season. 

“Wrexham won’t struggle, they've got enough. Phil Parkinson has done a fantastic job there. They certainly have enough to compete, though I'm not sure if they'll be in the top six this season. 

“He's made some good signings. If they can get the momentum they've had year after year and bring it into this league again, it's an unbelievable and difficult ground to visit. Phil knows the league, having played in it himself, so he understands what's coming. He'll have it all planned out. 

“It's just about momentum. If they can pick up results home and away and gain self-belief and confidence, that's one of the big things after promotion. Players will be wary of whether they're good enough. They'll be going into different, bigger grounds with a different atmosphere. It's about having that self-belief and confidence, and there's nothing better for that than winning games.” 

The Welsh side picked up one point from their opening three Championship games but bounced back with some good results in recent weeks. Wrexham will next focus on the Carabao Cup clash with Reading on Tuesday as their tough campaign continues.
