Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson reveals key goal Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's side have ticked off heading into League Two promotion run-in

As things stand, the Red Dragons have put 63 points on the board through 35 League Two fixtures. They have 11 more to take in, with a further five remaining in what is a busy March for the Welsh outfit. With the finishing line in sight, Parkinson’s side have reached crunch time in their bid to take another step up the Football League ladder.

Wrexham are just three points off top spot in the fourth tier, but Parkinson said when asked if he is putting short-term goals in place at SToK Racecourse during a hectic months: “To get to the end of February within touching distance or in the top three which was always the aim. We knew the fixtures were tough in terms of the travelling, but do I set targets for this month? No, we're just purely concentrating on the next game.”

That next game is a trip to Morecambe on Saturday, with the Shrimps having plenty to play for themselves as they take aim at a play-off berth. Parkinson added on the importance of a meeting with fellow promotion hopefuls: “Every game is of equal importance especially when you get to this stage of the season. We're looking to take the qualities from the weekend, improve on areas as well, that's what we'll be talking with the lads in training tomorrow going into the game. We know what we're up against and we're just looking to build on our performances.”

Wrexham did beat Morecambe 6-0 back in November, as Paul Mullin grabbed a hat-trick, but their away form has been patchy this season and Parkinson knows that improvements are required on the road in order for a top-three finish to be secured.
