Phil Parkinson has told his Wrexham players to enjoy the challenge of competing for a top six finish in the Championship. The manager spoke ahead of a crucial run of fixtures as the club seeks a third consecutive promotion. Wrexham currently occupy a play-off position following a recent run of form that includes a 1-1 draw against Sheffield United and a 3-1 victory over Luton Town, according to Sky Sports.
Parkinson stated that his squad should appreciate being in contention at this stage of the campaign rather than feeling burdened by expectation. The club sits in sixth place with 58 points from 34 matches, per official EFL data. They hold a narrow three-point lead over seventh-placed West Bromwich Albion in the standings.
Wrexham next travel to face Hull City at the MKM Stadium on Saturday. Parkinson expects a difficult test but noted that the team remains focused on maintaining its current league position. Midfielder George Dobson and striker Paul Mullin are both available for selection for the upcoming fixture, according to The Leader.
