The Dragons trailed their latest League Two fixture with two minutes left on the clock, but somehow turned the game around to take all three points and keep themselves well on course to push for back-to-back promotions.

Wrexham have made a habit of doing things the hard way – with Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney being left physically and emotionally drained – but Parkinson is eager to talk up the qualities that are making the Welsh outfit almost impossible to write off.

WHAT THEY SAID

Parkinson has told of overseeing another epic win at SToK Racecourse: "I think it is character and strength of mentality in the group. That is really important and we have got that. When you look around the group, there is some real strength there. We never ever give in and if Salford held on and it was 2-1, we have got to make sure that we absolutely put them under pressure and we did in that second period. We had some unbelievable chances but once it got to 2-2, the whole stadium lifted and it felt like there was only one winner. Salford looked on their last legs, they put a lot of effort into it. Our subs gave us that bit of freshness and you felt if a team was going to score, it was us. It keeps our run going. The lads are working incredibly hard and it is another great example of what the club is all about."

Wrexham are now unbeaten through their last five games in all competitions and have moved up to fifth in the League Two table – just three points adrift of leaders Stockport with 33 games still left to take in.
