Phil Parkinson praises Wrexham 'resilience' as promotion push rolls on

"We showed incredible resilience today to get the win. There were some key moments in the game. Brilliant blocks by [Issa] Kabore and [George] Dobson -- then a brilliant finish from Ollie. Arthur made a save from their first shot on target -- but what a save it was. We know Carey is lethal from those situations."

"The way we defended the box today was exceptional. We knew, coming here, that it would be about first contacts from set-plays and general play. Think of how many times the ball came into the box today and it came back out with a Wrexham head on it or reacting to the second ball."

"Broady [Nathan Broadhead] did well to skip past the lad marking him and Rathbone has done what he has done so many times for us. He is so calm in those situations. It is a really good finish. We had some gilt-edged chances in the second half and when you don't take them it creates a bit of pressure."

Wrexham defeated Charlton 1-0 away, with Oliver Rathbone scoring in the 30th minute. The team demonstrated exceptional defensive resilience throughout the match, particularly in set-play situations and box defense. Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo made a crucial late save to deny Sonny Carey an equalizer. Manager Phil Parkinson highlighted the team's tenacity, crediting key defensive blocks from Kabore and Dobson, Rathbone's composure in finishing, and strong performances from defenders Scarr and Vyner. Wrexham's away record now stands at 16 points from 18 possible, positioning them sixth in the league and supporting their fourth successive promotion push.
