Phil Parkinson expressed his eagerness for Wrexham’s home double-header this week following their recent 0-0 draw with Ipswich Town. The result extended the Red Dragons’ unbeaten streak in the Championship to six matches, showcasing their resilience on the pitch.
Wrexham is set to face Bristol City at Stok Cae Ras on Wednesday night at 19:45 GMT, followed by a home match against Blackburn Rovers just three days later. After a challenging start to the season that saw them unable to secure a win in their first five home league games, Wrexham has now found their stride, winning three consecutive matches at home.
Parkinson highlighted the significance of the home support, reflecting on the vibrant atmosphere during their last match against Charlton. “I can’t wait. The atmosphere was brilliant. As I said after the game, that’s key for us here,” he stated. His enthusiasm underlines the importance of creating a formidable home environment that has proven difficult for opponents.
Currently sitting 14th in the league, Wrexham is only three points away from the play-off positions, which Parkinson believes demonstrates the competitive nature of the division this season. “The division is so tight, isn’t it? I think everybody in every interview is saying the same,” he noted. Despite Coventry’s lead at the top and Sheffield Wednesday’s struggles at the bottom, the middle of the table remains closely contested, ensuring exciting matchups week after week.
With a positive start to the week following their match against Ipswich, Parkinson is optimistic about building on their recent performances. “The games are very competitive, no quarter given at all, and everybody can beat anyone on the day. It’s a great week for us,” he added, looking forward to the upcoming challenges. This week presents a vital opportunity for Wrexham to solidify their position and continue their climb up the Championship table.
