PHIL PARKINSON always believed his side could pull off another remarkable comeback because of the character in the Wrexham ranks.

There have been no shortage of fightbacks since Parkinson took charge of Wrexham nearly two-and-half years ago and the Reds had to come from behind against Salford City at The STóK Cae Ras on Saturday.

Trailing two-nil after 36 minutes, Wrexham reduced the deficit through leading scorer Elliot Lee's eight goal of the season before the break and the home side piled the pressure on in the second half.

Chances went begging before Steven Fletcher equalised in the 88th minute and fellow substitute Jordan Davies immediately bagged the winner as Wrexham secured a 3-2 victory to climb up to fifth in League Two, three points off top spot.

Parkinson praised the never-say-die attitude in the dressing room.

"I think it is character and strength of mentality in the group," said the Reds' boss, who saw his side extend the unbeaten run to five games in all competitions.

"That is really important and we have got that.

"When you look around the group, there is some real strength there.

"We never ever give in and if Salford held on and it was 2-1, we have got to make sure that we absolutely put them under pressure and we did in that second period.

"We had some unbelievable chances but once it got to 2-2, the whole stadium lifted and it felt like there was only one winner.

"Salford looked on their last legs, they put a lot of effort into it. Our subs gave us that bit of freshness and you felt if a team was going to score, it was us.

"It keeps our run going. The lads are working incredibly hard and it is another great example of what the club is all about."
