Wrexham overcame a two-nil deficit to defeat Salford City 3-2 on Saturday at The STóK Cae Ras, extending their undefeated streak to five games overall. The fifth-placed Reds are now only three points behind League Two leaders Stockport County.
As Wrexham produced another stunning comeback, substitutes had an impact. A second substitute, Sam Dalby, assisted on both goals, with Jordan Davies scoring the victory right away after Steven Fletcher’s equalizer in the 88th minute.
Parkinson acknowledges that he has had plenty of food for contemplation. “Selection headaches are fantastic for a manager,” the Reds’ manager added. “Teams with powerful squads are the ones that succeed in the end. You need a team that can handle injuries and suspensions since they will happen throughout the season.
“We fielded a large lineup against Salford. Unfortunately, Jacob Mendy did not make it, despite our best efforts.
“But the squad’s depth is absolutely massive.”Parkinson lauded the team’s never-say-die mentality as Wrexham turned things around after leading scorer Elliot Lee scored his eighth goal of the season shortly before halftime.”You can never knock us in terms of the work ethic and the desire in the team,” he stated. That is significant. “We are aware that occasionally the quality may have been higher, but we will accept it any time. “Salford are an excellent team. They were defeated in the playoffs the previous season and are anticipated to be very competitive.
