Wrexham beat Norwich City 3-2 on Saturday afternoon, producing a fantastic display away at Carrow Road.

Wrexham fans were left disappointed by the 3-1 defeat to Queens Park Rangers, but Phil Parkinson responded in style at Norwich City.

Jack Stacey’s first-half goal had Wrexham behind, but Parkinson’s side hit back with three goals in just 12 second-half minutes.

Josh Windass scored either side of a Ryan Longman strike to fire Wrexham 3-1 up, with Jovon Makama’s late goal not enough for Norwich to claim anything from the game.

EFL pundit suggests Wrexham turning point after beating Norwich City

Wrexham are still seeking results at home, having taken just one point from three games at the STōK Cae Ras this season.

Away form has been impressive, though, with Wrexham beating Millwall and Norwich on the road, and only losing narrowly at Southampton.

Parkinson got the big calls right at Norwich, and he will hope to use this result as a springboard for home success.

EFL pundit Sam Parkin has hailed Parkinson for Saturday’s victory, and has now added more praise for Wrexham.

Speaking on What The EFL?!, Parkin suggested that Wrexham have so much quality going forward, and chances to score will keep coming.

Parkin feels that Wrexham still need to improve defensively, but he really sees the win over Norwich as a ‘turning point’ for Parkinson’s side.

Parkin noted that bringing deadline day signings Ben Sheaf, Issa Kabore and Dominic Hyam into the side made a huge difference, and he is predicting that Wrexham’s fortunes will turn in a positive direction after this result.

“Wrexham are going to make opportunities, they’re going to continue to make opportunities, they just need to tighten up a bit defensively,” said Parkin.

“I see this as the turning point, I really do. They’ve got other players to come back in, other players that are going to be in contention, and it probably just needed a little bit of change, get some of these new guys in there, and I’m sure their fortunes are going to turn around,” he added.

Wrexham can make a serious statement in the next three games

October is just around the corner now, and so is another dreaded international break.

Wrexham went into the last international break with a win after beating Millwall 2-0, and Parkinson would love to head into the next break with a strong run.

Wrexham host Derby County this weekend before a tricky midweek trip to face Leicester City away from home.

It’s then a quick turnaround as Wrexham welcome Tom Brady’s Birmingham City to the STōK Cae Ras on the Friday night.

If Wrexham can pick up a couple of wins from those three games, then it really would show that a corner has been turned – and a run of strong results would leave the rest of the Championship fearful of a resurgent Wrexham side.
