Wrexham sit second in the League One table once again after an impressive 2-1 victory away at Blackpool on Monday.
Phil Parkinson needed a victory at Bloomfield Road as Wrexham drew 1-1 with Bristol Rovers on Friday.
Wrexham were flat in that performance at the STōK Cae Ras, allowing Wycombe Wanderers to take second spot with a win over Bolton Wanderers.
Monday brought a trip to Blackpool and Parkinson secured the victory he needed – all whilst seeing Wycombe fall 4-0 at home to Charlton Athletic.
Wrexham beat Blackpool 2-1 with James McClean and Ollie Rathbone finding the net in the second half.
Rob Apter pulled one back late on for Blackpool, but it wasn’t enough as Wrexham claimed all three points.
Wrexham fans on Dan Scarr
Parkinson made changes to the Wrexham lineup, with Eoghan O’Connell dropping out of the starting XI.
O’Connell picked up a knock against Bristol Rovers and Dan Scarr, the man who came on to replace him on Friday, took his place at Blackpool.
Scarr was colossal in the Wrexham back line and certainly proved himself as a dependable option in the heart of Wrexham’s defence.
Wrexham fans took to social media to praise Scarr, with one supporter on X stating ‘Scarr didn’t miss a thing today’.
‘Give Dan Scarr the keys and all, man mountain,’ said another Wrexham fan.
‘Scarr absolutely superb from start to finish’, ‘Dan Scarr is magic ain’t he’ and ‘Big Dan Scarr has been monstrous today’ were just some of the other reactions from Wrexham supporters on X.
Scarr certainly caught the eye on Monday afternoon and Wrexham supporters certainly loved his performance in a massive victory.
Dan Scarr may have played himself into the team v Charlton Athletic
Scarr joined Wrexham from Plymouth Argyle last summer, adding competition in the heart of defence.
Parkinson has largely kept the faith with O’Connell, though, leaving Scarr to sit on the bench all too regularly.
Everybody must be ready to go whenever called upon and Scarr has certainly done that.
Wrexham take on Charlton Athletic in an enormous promotion clash this weekend, and Scarr has given Parkinson a real dilemma.
O’Connell is one of Parkinson’s most trusted performers and Wrexham are heading into the biggest game of the season, but Scarr was outstanding on Monday.
On Monday’s display, Scarr may well have played himself into the starting XI against Charlton, potentially leaving O’Connell on the bench once again.
