Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson lauds squad ‘togetherness’ as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned Red Dragons prepare for Accrington Stanley clash

League One

Wrexham

Exeter

Following <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/wrexham-phil-parkinson-james-mcclean-jacob-mendy-international-call-up/bltc1b60a3fb1eeb1b7" target="_blank">intentional call-ups to James McClean and Jacob Mendy,</a> the Red Dragons boss praised his squad for overcoming the unexpected obstacles midweek. However, now, they're slightly shorthanded heading into the weekend, but he's proud of the way they've come together ahead of the clash regardless.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Red Dragons boss told the club's <a href="https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/2023/november/interview--phil-parkinson-ahead-of-accrington-stanley/" target="_blank">official media</a>: "There’s a real togetherness around the club with both the fans and players in sync with each other. The lads really enjoy it when we have a large away following like we did at Notts County and that just adds to the occasion. We’ve played a lot of games like that, and we are used to it. We will go there confident, but respectful with a clear understanding of the game plan needed to get the result.”

WHAT PARKINSON SAID

After 17 matches this season, Wrexham sits on 33 points and their so-so start to the campaign is completely behind them. Ollie Palmer and Paul Mullin are firing and the club is in fantastic form. They've gone 11-straight matches without a loss, with eight of them being wins (in all competitions). The Red Dragons have not lost a match since September 23 and in total, they've only been on the wrong side of a result twice this season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham take on Accrington Saturday as Parkinson and his squad look to close the gap with first-place Stockport. They sit five points out in second going into the clash, and are looking to make it 12-straight matches without a loss.
