Eoghan O’Connell says Wrexham’s supreme defensive record is a result of the “ethos” within Phil Parkinson’s squad.
Wrexham head to Burton Albion on Saturday having kept four clean sheets in their last five League One outings.
Parkinson’s men have conceded only 11 goals in 18 league games this season, meaning they have meanest defence on the third tier.
“That gives the team a good base to build from,” said centre-back O’Connell.
“We work really well together. We have had some changes at the back and in goal, but it just shows the ethos of the team – we want to do it for each other, we want to defend, we want to run.
“I think the clean sheets are a mark of that for everyone.”
Second-placed Wrexham are just a point clear of Birmingham City, who have two games in hand in third, meaning the pressure is on to maintain their good form against struggling Burton.
The Dragons’ latest triumph came against Barnsley on Tuesday, when Ollie Rathbone struck the only goal in stoppage time to secure a third successive win.
“Against a team like Barnsley, a big club who have been in the Championship and have very high-level players at this level, to perform like we did and find a way to win is massive,” added former Charlton Athletic player O’Connell.
“It’s good confidence for us and we move on to Burton. We never take a game for granted. We will prepare the same as usual and go and try to put our stamp on the game.”
