Wrexham picked up a vital home win on Saturday afternoon, beating Rotherham United 1-0 at the STōK Cae Ras.
Wrexham’s form has turned in rather bizarre fashion of late.
Phil Parkinson’s side have been exceptional at home for most of the season and struggled on the road.
That has flipped of late though with Wrexham now securing four League One away wins in a row.
Wrexham’s home form has dipped though with just one home league win in the last five outings.
Wrexham beat Rotherham United 1-0 on Saturday afternoon to pick up a much-needed home victory and go level on points with Wycombe Wanderers.
Arthur Okonkwo on Wrexham away form
Wrexham must now take that improved away form into a big week.
Wycombe boss Mike Dodds is already looking at Wrexham with the two promotion-chasing sides set to meet on Saturday.
Wrexham can’t look too far ahead though as Parkinson’s main focus will be on facing Reading on Tuesday night.
The Royals will pose a major threat and Wrexham will have to be on top form to pick up yet another away win.
Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has now looked ahead to Tuesday’s clash, telling BBC Sport that he thinks Wrexham’s form on the road is ‘really good’.
Okonkwo claims that Wrexham have made a real mentality change away from home in recent weeks, and that switch is producing results.
Okonkwo noted that Reading are a ‘big challenge’ but wants Wrexham to take the focus from Saturday’s win over Rotherham United into facing the Royals.
“Our away form is really good going into these two matches,” said Okonkwo.
“We’ve changed our mentality on the road, and it’s good to see us getting wins. Reading will be another big challenge. We know how good they are. We’ll give it our best and show the same sort of focus [as Saturday],” he added.
Wrexham chasing yet another clean sheet
Reading are a tough nut to crack having brought up eight games without defeat in League One.
Noel Hunt’s side have only won three games in that run but they have become very difficult to beat.
Wrexham will hope to add another win but Parkinson’s first priority will be keeping another clean sheet.
Since Wrexham lost to Peterborough United in the EFL Trophy semi-finals, Parkinson has been able to celebrate three straight clean sheets.
OKonkwo and Wrexham have managed to keep Bolton Wanderers, Huddersfield Town and Rotherham at bay in a strong defensive run.
A fourth clean sheet in a row would give Wrexham a great chance of a result with Parkinson no doubt keen to beat his former club from his playing days.
