THE season is less than a month old but alarm bells are already ringing at Wrexham.
Dean Keates' side crashed out of the FA Cup as they were thrashed 4-0 by National League rivals Solihull Moors at Damson Park.
It was the Reds' third defeat in a row with nine goals conceded in the process.
Eight of those have come in the last two losses and although deserved winners, Solihull could have triumphed by a bigger margin.
Wrexham only trailed 1-0 at the break but when they conceded a second goal on the hour mark, the Reds capitulated.
It was a dreadful performance with few chances created and Wrexham again looking shaky at the back.
Here's how the players rated:
ROB LAINTON: Beaten four times but it would have been a heavier defeat without some crucial saves. 3
JAMES HORSFIELD: Came in for his first start of season and Wrexham still leaked goals despite the change. 2
FIACRE KELLEHER: Wrexham's defensive frailties were exposed again, and they could have lost by more. 2
THEO VASSELL: Lost possession at times to leave Reds on the back foot and found it tough going. 2
JAMIE RECKORD: A willing attacker as left-back but Wrexham need to shore up the defence. 2
JORDAN DAVIES: The sitting midfielder showed some early nice touches but not in the game second half. 2
ELLIOTT DURRELL: Clumsy challenge gave away the penalty from which Solihull scored their second goal. 2
JAY HARRIS: Tried to get his side going but the Reds were second best in all departments. 2
LUKE YOUNG: Lively first half showing but Wrexham weren't in it after going 2-0 down. 2
DAN JARVIS: First half shot was saved with one of Wrexham's rare chances, substituted when it was 3-0. 2
ADI YUSSUF: Set up Jarvis for his opportunity but the lone striker found it difficult on his own. 2
KWAME THOMAS: Unable to impose himself on the game. 2
REECE HALL-JOHNSON: Came on when damage had been done. 2
