Phil Parkinson was delighted with the way his side secured victory and a double over Notts County in his 150th game in charge.
Steven Fletcher’s acrobatic first half finish proved to be the difference, and also the 94th win of Parkinson’s tenure in charge.
Heading into the game, Notts have been clinical in front of goal both home and away with the ever-present Macaulay Langstaff and Jodi Jones.
However, that was not to be the case this afternoon as they were well marshalled by the Red Dragons defence, who earnt their first clean sheet in five matches.
In what was a resolute and disciplined victory, Parkinson described it as a true Wrexham performance.
He said: “I’m very pleased, it was a hard game and Notts are a good side; we know that. I thought it was a really good game and a good advert for the division.
“We showed a lot of sides to our game. We looked dangerous at times but probably not enough in the first half; but we had to be disciplined without the ball.
“I thought we were superb in that first half, and in the second half we upped our game in the first 20 minutes.
“We needed that next goal obviously and we didn’t get, so we knew that Notts were going to throw caution to the wind, and we had to go into that disciplined mindset.
“I thought the lads have put in a real shift today, that was a proper performance and that was a huge win for us.”
Parkinson made three changes to the team that won on Tuesday night against Sutton United with Ryan Barnett, James Jones and Paul Mullin coming into the starting eleven.
Barnett proved to be instrumental to the attacking threat that Wrexham posed, with crosses pinning back the Pies defence.
It was from his cross that Fletcher’s goal arose, as he leapt into the air to send the ball into the top corner.
The victory propelled Wrexham back into the automatic promotion places, but also three points off the league leaders Stockport County with a game in hand.
On the victory and their attacking impact, the Wrexham boss hailed the all-round performance.
“I said to the lads that if they go to a back four, then Cameron would be a centre back on the left and up against Barney. I told them give the ball to Barney because he is tremendous in those situations.
“He produced some real good quality in the first half and second half and there’s nobody else you want in the box other than Fletch.
“When it comes to him he’s such a threat. I’m pleased for him but more importantly Fletch and Mulls work for the team really well.
“When you play a team that has such technical ability it’s that five yards of work and detail of when to press and both Fletch and Mulls have the nous of how to do that.
“Any defensive performance starts from the front, but all in all it was a day where everyone had to do their job.
“There had to be a concentrated and focused approach and when the moments came we got the goal.”
