Wrexham: Manager Phil Parkinson not setting points target
- Published
Wrexham picked up just eight points from a possible 24 in the month of February
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson says he has not set the team a points target in March as they aim for promotion from League Two.
The Dragons are third in the table, three points behind leaders Mansfield.
Wrexham got back to winning ways last Saturday with a convincing 4-0 win at home against Accrington Stanley after going three games with out a win.
"To the end of February within touching distance or in the top three which was always the aim," Parkinson said.
"We knew the fixtures were tough in terms of the travelling, but do I set targets for this month? No we're just purely concentrating on the next game."
Wrexham will travel to face Morecambe on Saturday who are eighth and just outside the play-off positions, and a team that Wrexham beat 6-0 at home in November with Paul Mullin scoring a hat-trick.
Wrexham have won only one game away from the Racecourse in 2024, but Parkinson is not dwelling too much on their away form.
"Every game is of equal importance especially when you get to this stage of the season," said Parkinson.
"We're looking to take the qualities from the weekend, improve on areas as well, that's what we'll be talking with the lads in training tomorrow going into the game.
"We know what we're up against and we're just looking to build on our performances."
Parkinson was given a boost this week with the return to training of the versatile player Tom O'Connor.
The 24-year-old sustained a fracture to his foot during the defeat against Newport on 20 January and has been absent for 10 games.
"Tom is back in training for us this week, that is really great for us," said Parkinson.
"We've had to be patient with the healing process, but he's trained well and as the week's gone on he looks better.
"Tom's a class player and he was outstanding for us before he got injured."
