Following last weekend's 0-0 draw at Bolton Wanderers - one of the clubs he previously managed - Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson comes up against another former club on Saturday.Parkinson played for Reading between 1992 and 2003 and won the Second Division title with the Royals in 1994.“I’m looking forward to another test for us against a club who have had financial problems,” Parkinson told BBC Sport Wales.“But they’ve managed to keep everyone together and obviously the benefit of producing players from the academy.“Even in the tough times they’ve been having, they’ve still managed to have that supply of players.“They’re a decent side who have had a good start so we’ve got to go into it fully respectful, which we will do.“But equally we’re looking to improve and maintain certain standards.”

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
