Phil Parkinson says Wrexham can be pleased with the “overall picture” of the club despite being frustrated late on during Saturday’s League One fixture against Cambridge United.

Parkinson’s men looked on course for another home triumph until Dan Nlundulu scored a late penalty to earn Cambridge a 2-2 draw at the Stok Racecourse.

Wrexham slipped to third in the table after Birmingham City beat Bristol Rovers 2-0 at the weekend, although Parkinson hailed his side’s points return so far as “outstanding”.

“There’s always going to be an element of frustration when you drop two points at home, but when we review it and look at the overall picture, we’re in a very good position,” he said.

“We’re always evolving as a team and learning about the league and the players we’re coming up against.

“It’s (the aim) to maintain standards in every game and look at when it doesn’t quite go our way, what we can do better, which we’ll do from today.

“But all in all, the points tally from the games has been outstanding from us.”

Wrexham remain unbeaten at home in the league this season having won nine and drawn two of their 11 fixtures at the Stok Racecourse to date.

But they face fierce competition from the likes of Wycombe Wanderers and Birmingham for a top-two spot.

Parkinson hinted his side could bolster their squad during the January transfer window as they bid to keep pace with League One’s big guns.

“We’ve got some really good players and the squad is strong. Who knows, we might even improve that in January,” added the Wrexham boss.

“The strength in depth in the division, there’s a lot of teams that’ll still have an eye on those top two positions.

“We’ve got to work really hard in terms of our analysis, the training and everything else and keep doing what we’ve got to do, and we’ll see if that’s enough come the end of the season.”
