Parkinson wary of rejuvenated West Brom
· Yahoo Sports
Phil Parkinson says Wrexham will face a West Bromwich Albion side "scrapping for their lives" when they meet at the Hawthorns in the Championship on Friday.
While Wrexham are looking to maintain their play-off push, West Brom are battling at the other end of the table.

The Baggies are four points above the relegation zone after four games unbeaten, and Parkinson says Wrexham will have to be ready against a team that won 3-2 at the Stok Cae Ras last August when Ryan Mason was their head coach.
"If you look at West Brom, early in the season they were riding high at the top of the table, then they had a really poor run," Parkinson said.
"They lost 10 successive away games, by very tight margins.
"I watched a few of those games and I thought Ryan Mason and Nigel Gibbs, the assistant, were very unlucky not to still be there at that point because the performances weren't far away.
"But that's the division, it's very tight, dividing lines as everyone's spoken about.
"And now another manager, James Morrison, has taken over and has got them going again.
"They're a good side and obviously they've found themselves down at the bottom and they're scrapping for their lives and we've got to be ready for that, but we will be."
