"It is now four wins in a row for the side few had dared suggest would make it four promotions in a row. But it appears the whispers about Wrexham being a genuine Championship play-off contender haven't managed to make it into Phil Parkinson's dressing room. Albeit boosted by hefty summer spending, Wrexham are in their first season of second-tier football in 43 years having been playing non-league football just three campaigns ago."
""Us in the dressing room are just thinking about each game and we've shown that in this small period," downplayed midfielder Matty James when asked whether people could now talk about a play-off run. "We just go out there, put a performance in, get the result and move on. "For us, there's such a long period to go, and in the Championship, you know how quickly it can change. "But there's enough experience in there to"
Wrexham have recorded four consecutive Championship wins, including victories over Sheffield United, Preston, Blackburn and Derby. The run has moved the club to within one point of the top six and six points off automatic promotion with more than half the season played. The team returned to the second tier after 43 years, following non-league football three seasons earlier, and benefitted from significant summer investment. Manager Phil Parkinson marked his 250th game in charge and maintained a calm public stance while visibly celebrating the result. Players emphasize focusing match-by-match and note the Championship can change quickly due to squad experience.
