Wrexham picked up another crucial victory in the League One promotion race, beating Exeter City 2-0 on Saturday afternoon.
Wrexham beat Stockport County 1-0 last time out but faced a tough trip down to Devon as Phil Parkinson faced off against Exeter City.
Exeter had been in decent form heading into the game, but Wrexham secured a vital 2-0 win.
Ollie Rathbone opened the scoring for Wrexham, though it may end up going down as an Ed Turns own goal.
Jay Rodriguez added number two after the break, scoring from the penalty spot for his second goal in as many games.
Parkinson praised Rodriguez after his spot kick, with Wrexham adding yet another victory in the race for promotion.
Ollie Rathbone on Wrexham mentality
Wycombe Wanderers still have a game in hand on Wrexham, but every win just takes Parkinson’s side that one step closer.
The trip to St James Park had banana skin potential, but Wrexham got the job done – and kept another clean sheet in the process.
Wrexham midfielder Rathbone has now commented on the mentality in the dressing room having secured another big victory.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Rathbone noted that he joined a winning environment upon joining from Rotherham United last summer.
Rathbone noted that this kind of culture ‘makes a huge difference’ with Wrexham so used to winning over the years.
Rathbone added that he can sense the winning mentality at Wrexham as there is simply no ‘over celebrating’ after big victories.
The vibe in the Wrexham dressing room is to simply take the three points and move on to the next game, showing just how focused this group is as the season draws towards its close.
“Winning breeds winning and when you come into an environment where people are used to it, it makes a huge difference,” said Rathbone.
“You can sense it after a game when some of the senior players and coaching staff are simply ‘well done, onto the next one’. There’s no over celebrating, there’s no pats on the back, it’s ‘well done – but that’s what we came here to do, now let’s go’,” he added.
Another tricky away trip next up for Wrexham
Wrexham have been exceptional away from home lately, marking a huge upturn in form on the road.
Wins over Crawley Town, Northampton Town, Mansfield Town, Huddersfield Town, Wycombe Wanderers and Exeter City have seen Wrexham become a real force away from home.
Phil Parkinson faces another away trip this week as Wrexham travel to take on Cambridge United.
Neil Harris is back as Cambridge boss, but they appear to be set for relegation to League Two.
Cambridge sit 11 points adrift of safety with just seven games to play and have won just four league games since the end of October.
Wrexham can’t take this game lightly, though, and Rathbone’s insight into the mentality around the dressing room suggests that Parkinson will not allow his players to slip up.
