Wrexham's Manager Phil Parkinson remains steadfast in his belief that the team can maintain their Championship play-off position, despite their recent surge into the top six. However, he also emphasizes the need for caution and sustained focus, following their dramatic injury-time victory over QPR at Loftus Road.
The win, secured by goals from Josh Windass and Ollie Rathbone, propelled Wrexham to their highest position in the Championship since their promotion last summer. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the club's history, as they have never before reached such heights at this stage of the season.
Parkinson acknowledges the importance of savoring the moment, given the dramatic nature of the win. Yet, he also stresses the necessity of maintaining a balanced perspective. He advises, 'It's where you are at the end of the season that matters. Everyone can see it's so tight, which is why you can't get too low or too high.'
The manager further highlights the competitive nature of the division, noting that many teams aspire to secure a spot in the top six. He expresses confidence in the team's ability to achieve this goal, but also underscores the importance of staying focused. Parkinson states, 'I know that's an old saying, but the minute you take your eye off the ball in this division, you can find yourself tumbling down the league.'
Wrexham's recent performance had been under scrutiny, with just one point earned from their previous two home games against Norwich and Leicester. Parkinson acknowledges that the team's performances deserved better results, and he emphasizes the need to remain grounded and concentrate on each game individually. He says, 'We've just got to keep our heads down and concentrate on each game.'
Looking ahead, Wrexham will have the opportunity to build on their success when they face the bottom-placed team, Sheffield Wednesday, next weekend.
