According to Phil Parkinson, Wrexham should have “comfortably” defeated Harrogate Town, but the goalless draw prevented them from finding that “killer” moment.
Consequently, what happened?
On Tuesday night, the Red Dragons enjoyed 62 percent of the play and 16 shots to the visitors’ three, but they were only able to secure a point at the Racecourse. The Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned team moved up to second place in the League Two standings as a result of the outcome, but manager Parkinson was disappointed that his team was unable to secure all three points.
PHIL PARKINSON’S QUOTES
“I believe we did a lot of things right, we dominated the game,” he stated following the game. “However, the crossing was not up to the standard required to create enough chances.” We just couldn’t find that game-changing moment to start the game, even though I believed the boys gave it their all and left nothing on the field tonight (Tuesday). We are aware that Harrogate has performed admirably away from home this season; they sit in and cause trouble. We should have won easily based on the balance of play, but they put in a lot of work, so you have to give them credit for that.”
THE LARGER IMAGE
With nine games left in the season, Wrexham is in the second of three automatic promotion spots after moving up a spot to second with the draw. Even though they felt they lost two points against Harrogate, they still have a four-point lead over Crewe in fourth place and can still advance.
Next?
With the greatest home record in League Two, Wrexham takes on mid-table Tranmere on Saturday at the Racecourse before visiting relegation-threatened Grimsby Town the following weekend.
