Wrexham’s long unbeaten run at the Racecourse ground came to a shuddering end with a shock 3-2 defeat to Stevenage.

Phil Parkinson was critical of Wrexham’s performance against a well-organised Stevenage side under manager Alex Revell and were simply too good for the Red Dragons on the night.

Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo endured a difficult game in particular and would have been disappointed with his part in the first two goals conceded.

The result leaves Wrexham six points behind Wycombe in the race for automatic promotion in League One and the defeat against Stevenage felt significant in more ways than one at the Racecourse Ground.

Stevenage become the first team to beat Phil Parkinson’s Wrexham home and away

Much has been made about Phil Parkinson’s incredible home record that was unfortunately tarnished slightly in the defeat to Stevenage but the consistency in general from Wrexham during his tenure has been remarkable.

One statistic from the game has shown that Stevenage have become the first team to take six points from Wrexham in a single season since 2020-21, when Torquay, Stockport and Notts County achieved the feat.

Stevenage become the first team to do the ‘double’ over Wrexham during Parkinson’s reign, which highlights the incredible job he is doing at the club despite this setback.

Wrexham have enjoyed a miraculous rise up the English football pyramid, earning back to back promotions before fighting at the top end of League One again this season.

Wrexham now face a huge set of fixtures away from home

Wrexham’s away form has not mirrored their spectacular results at the Racecourse Ground and Parkinson must find a solution to Wrexham’s woeful away record.

The Red Dragons now face four consecutive fixtures away in two different competitions and know that picking up positive results will be vital for the outcome of their season.

The club are chasing new recruits in the final few days of the transfer window but know that any deal now will be very close to the deadline.

A freshness to the squad would not be the worst thing however, as we enter the final few months of a long and tiring campaign.
