Phil Parkinson expressed his eagerness for Wrexham’s upcoming home fixtures this week following a draw with Ipswich Town, which extended their unbeaten Championship streak to six matches. The Red Dragons are set to face Bristol City at Stok Cae Ras on Wednesday night at 19:45 GMT, followed by a match against Blackburn Rovers three days later.
After a challenging start to the season, where they struggled to secure victories in their first five home league games, Wrexham has rebounded with three consecutive home wins in the Championship. Parkinson noted the importance of the home crowd, highlighting the vibrant atmosphere during their recent match against Charlton. “I can’t wait. As I said after the game, that atmosphere is key for us here,” he remarked, emphasizing the difficulties opposition teams face when playing at their ground.
Currently placed 14th in the league standings, Wrexham is just three points shy of the play-off positions. Parkinson acknowledged the competitiveness of this season’s Championship, mentioning that while Coventry leads at the top and Sheffield Wednesday struggles at the bottom due to a points deduction, the middle of the table remains tightly packed. “The division is so tight,” he stated, noting that every team is capable of winning on any given day, which adds to the excitement of the league.
Reflecting on their previous performance against Ipswich, Parkinson expressed satisfaction with the team’s physical condition following the international break, looking forward to building on that momentum in the upcoming matches. The week unfolds with great potential for Wrexham as they strive to enhance their league standing and push towards the play-off spots.
