"It's going to be a really good game. I think it's going to be competitive and there's an edge between both teams after our competition last year. They're very much similar to how they played last year, a similar shape and they've made a few improvements and some shrewd signings. They've done really well. We know Charlton are going to be very competitive in terms of the way they play, similar to the Portsmouth game in many respects, but we're prepared for that."
"It's a day which takes some surpassing because of the dramas of the Wycombe result going our way and the whole atmosphere and the result, it was a memorable day. We did celebrate and enjoyed the moment. It was very special."
Wrexham and Charlton Athletic enter the upcoming match carrying an intensified rivalry shaped by last season's League One encounters, including a 2-2 draw at The Valley and Wrexham's 3-0 home win that secured promotion. Phil Parkinson expects a competitive game, noting Charlton retain a similar shape while adding shrewd signings and remaining very competitive. Wrexham secured promotion with goals from Sam Smith and Ollie Rathbone amid dramatic circumstances involving Wycombe's result. Fixture congestion is a concern: Wrexham face seven fixtures in 22 days and chose to delay travel after a 0-0 draw at Portsmouth.
