But it has been far more settled this term, with Zak Vyner, Hyam and Callum Doyle – Wrexham’s goal scorer in the loss to Birmingham – starting as the back three in all four of the Red Dragons’ game so far this season.
Parkinson even suggested transfer talk may have affected some of his players against Birmingham – particularly in the opening half.
“We will be endeavour to improve what we’ve got, but I think, a bit of uncertainty in the camp, players coming in, rumours of this and that,” Parkinson said.
“Has that affected us? I don’t know. It looked like it in the first half tonight because I just wanted to see more belief in us.”
Wrexham will be searching for answers ahead of their return to action at Millwall on Wednesday night (19:45 BST).
Defender Hyam says Wrexham may need to find a “horrible” streak to help rectify things at the back.
“We’re a talented group in there, we need to give ourselves a solid base to work off and that starts at the back,” added the Scotland centre-back.
“Us as defenders need to pride ourselves on being more solid at the back and just defending the goal.
“When we need to be, we need to be a bit horrible, we weren’t quite that tonight so that’s what it needs to be.”
