Phil Parkinson sends warning to Wrexham squad as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's side prepare for hectic week

League One

Leyton Orient

Burton

Wrexham

Cambridge U

<p>Parkinson has warned his squad that every player will be required in the coming weeks as Wrexham prepare for a congested fixture list. They face Leyton Orient in the league this weekend before taking on Stevenage on Tuesday. Wrexham then play Northampton Town the following Saturday, before a clash with Wolves' Under-21s that Tuesday. Four days later, they face Lincoln City.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Wrexham have enjoyed a strong start to life in League One, winning five and drawing one of their first seven games. They currently sit top of the table, level on points with second-placed Birmingham, although they have a game in hand. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Parkinson told reporters: "It's the start of a busy period for us. All the squad is going to be utilised over the next month or so when the games are going to come thick and fast. We've had periods like this before but I'm pleased with the way the squad is shaping up."</p><p>On this weekend's game, he added: "Orient started the season with results not going their way, but they came on the wrong side of a lot of tight games.</p><p>"You always get a good atmosphere at Brisbane Road, it's a historic stadium. I love going there, particularly when I was manager of Charlton, which was a local derby. There's always a real east-end welcome, but we're looking forward to getting down there and hopefully keep our run going."</p>

WHAT PARKINSON SAID

<p>Wrexham's clash with Leyton Orient kicks off their busy period. They will be desperate to get another three points on the board.</p>
