New recruits have been thrust straight into the starting XI, but have managed only one goal between them – with Smith finding the target in a 2-0 victory over Northampton.

Palmer senior went on to say after seeing Wrexham miss the chance to draw level on points with second-placed Wycombe in the League One table: "PP (Phil Parkinson) and SP (Steve Parkin) need to swallow their pride.
