Wrexham now sit two points behind Wycombe Wanderers in the League One promotion race after drawing with Bolton Wanderers.
Every game and every point is now so crucial as the League One campaign enters its final stretch.
Wrexham were beaten by Peterborough United in the EFL Trophy in midweek and needed a big response against Bolton Wanderers.
The performance was improved but Wrexham couldn’t find the winner in a 0-0 draw against the Trotters.
Only taking a point may be a touch frustrating but Wrexham at least moved a small step closer to second-placed Wycombe Wanderers.
Wycombe lost at Birmingham City on Saturday with Wrexham now just two points behind the Chairboys.

Eoghan O’Connell on Wrexham position after Wycombe defeat
Wrexham may still feel that this was a missed opportunity.
Victory on Saturday would have taken Wrexham level on points with Wycombe, but it just wasn’t meant to be.
One train of thought is that Wycombe don’t lose many games and Wrexham should have been there to capitalise on them playing against the league leaders.
There will be many twists and turns to come though and Wrexham will feel comfortable sitting two points behind Wycombe right now.
Wrexham defender Eoghan O’Connell has now been asked for his thoughts on the promotion race after Wycombe’s defeat.
The Irishman told Wrexham’s official YouTube channel that he and the squad knew that this season would be difficult with so many ‘very good teams’ in League One.
O’Connell noted that Wycombe lost at Birmingham lost Saturday, leaving Wrexham two points behind – a position he would have taken before the season started.
O’Connell feels that Wrexham are in a ‘great place’ right now, gearing up for 13 crucial games before the season ends.
“We knew coming into this season it was going to be tough, there’s a lot of very good teams in this league and we knew we had to be on our game,” said O’Connell.
“I think Wycombe lost, did they? So, what, we’re two points behind with 13 games to go, so I think if you offered everyone that at the start of the season, we’d probably have taken it – it’s a great place to be in,” he added.
Wrexham fixtures ahead of Wycombe clash
Rob McElhenney believes in Wrexham’s promotion hopes despite some up-and-down form of late and there are huge games to come.
One date is glaring on the calendar – the trip to face Wycombe on March 15.
That could be an enormous game in the promotion race but Wrexham play three League One games before making that journey.
Wrexham go to Huddersfield Town on Tuesday night before hosting Rotherham United next Saturday.
Parkinson returns to former club Reading on March 11, just days before taking on Wycombe away from home.
March could be the key month in Wrexham’s promotion hunt and after starting with a draw against Bolton, Parkinson will hope for wins over the course of the month.
