Baggies loss shows quality of Championship - Dobson

George Dobson feels Wrexham have been fully exposed to the ruthless nature of the Championship having suffered back-to-back defeats in the division at the start of the 2025-26 season.

Phil Parkinson's side were beaten 3-2 by West Bromwich Albion at the Stok Cae Ras to ensure they remain without a point having fallen to a 2-1 loss to Southampton a week earlier.

And after Parkinson criticised the "soft" goals his side conceded against the Baggies, Dobson admitted Wrexham are being emphatically punished for small mistakes in the second tier.

"It just showed the quality of the level - if you don't take your chances, you do get punished," said the midfielder.

"It's definitely not a panic stations type situation but we know there's a couple of things we need to be a bit better at.

"It's definitely the fine margins of being punished. Any sort of mistake or not doing your job quite right seems to get punished."

As they were at Southampton in the season opener, Wrexham were competitive for the majority of the contest with Ryan Mason's side.

And while they lost for the second league fixture running, Dobson feels Wrexham can pick up positive results if they improve defensively given their attacking talents.

"I'm not sure how many shots we had but I feel like we looked like scoring," added Dobson.

"We've just got to get the solid base back of getting clean sheets and not conceding too many chances and I'm sure the results will turn because the character of the group is so strong.

"It's a great learning curve for us."
