How Did Ryan Reynolds React to Wrexham’s Defeat?
After the team’s recent match against Stockport County, Phil Parkinson revealed that both Reynolds and McElhenney sent motivating messages following the loss to Reading.
The pair later delivered an uplifting video message at Parkinson’s request. The head coach noted, “Rob and Ryan have been fantastic. After our defeat at Reading, they quickly reached out offering any support we might need.”
Parkinson explained how the video message for the Wrexham squad came about: “When you lose as a manager, it doesn’t matter where you stand in the league. I suggested to Rob and Ryan that a short video for the boys before the Wycombe game would be encouraging, just to remind them that they’ve done well with ten games to go.”
The head coach also emphasized the importance of the owners’ engagement with the team, sharing, “Their involvement sends a supportive message, particularly since they haven’t been around in a while. It’s crucial for everyone to rally together when things don’t go as planned, and Rob and Ryan have been excellent in doing that.”
The motivating words from Reynolds and McElhenney seem to have made a positive impact as Wrexham has since achieved victories in their next two matches. With narrow wins against Wycombe Wanderers and Stockport County, the Red Dragons now sit in second place in League One, boasting 74 points from 38 matches played.
