Wrexham played out a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, handing them their first point of the season.
While securing their first point of the campaign is a step in the right direction for the Dragons, the result does feel more like a defeat.
Wrexham drew 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday after taking a 2-0 lead into half-time – both scored by Kieffer Moore.
Phil Parkinson’s team talk versus the Owls seemed to have little impact, however, and his inability to match the away side’s change of shape in the second 45 cost the Welsh outfit.
Now, there has been a change made by Opta’s supercomputer that is impacting Wrexham.

Wrexham were predicted a 21st-place finish by the supercomputer before the campaign got underway.
What followed was a 2-1 loss to Southampton on the opening day and a 3-2 defeat to West Brom.
After clashing with the Baggies, Wrexham were predicted to be 24th in the Championship by Opta.
But after earning a draw against the Owls on August 23, they have moved up the table, just.
Wrexham are now backed to finish 23rd in the second tier with 52.01 points by Opta. Oxford United are expected to take the bottom place, with Derby County also being relegated.
Middlesbrough and Coventry City are favourites to secure automatic promotion.

Wrexham are next in action on Tuesday, facing Preston North End in the Carabao Cup.
Their final Championship fixture of the month sees them travel to Millwall on August 30.
The Lions are an experienced second-tier outfit and it seems unlikely three points will be taken back to Wales.
In September, meetings with QPR, who were just beaten 7-1 by Coventry, and Derby County represent the best chances for the Red Dragons to secure a first Championship victory.
