PHIL PARKINSON was disappointed not to pick up another win in the push for promotion but insists a point is not the end of the world after drawing 0-0 with Harrogate Town.

It was a frustrating night for Wrexham who dominated the League Two contest at The Racecourse but lacked a cutting edge in the final third and had to be content with a share of the spoils.

It enabled Wrexham to climb up to second in the table, two points behind leaders Mansfield who lost 2-1 at Tranmere.

But third placed Stockport, who face Salford City tonight, are one point behind the Reds with two games in hand while Crewe and MK Dons are both two points adrift of Parkinson's men.

Wrexham have nine matches to go and although they never made it three wins in a row against Harrogate, Parkinson looked at the positives.

"There is going to be an element of disappointment because we felt we did enough to win the game," said the Reds' boss, whose side are back at home on Saturday when local rivals Tranmere are the visitors.

"Having set ourselves up with a great win at Morecambe on Saturday, we really fancied our chances but that is football, it is tough.

"But in the bigger scheme of things, a point is not the worst. It is another point on where we want to get to.

"As I have said many times, if you can't win don't get beat and we got the point.

"The defenders defended well and did what they had to do; there was a good concentration level at the back and it needed to be because when a team sits in like that, there is always the threat on the counter-attack and we nullified that for practically the whole game.

"The subs came on and gave us a lift. We did everything we can from the bench to try and win it because obviously we want to try and win every game.

"On the balance of it with the way the other results have gone, it is a decent point for us and we move forward to the weekend."

Parkinson was dealt a blow as James McClean picked up a 10th yellow card of the season and will now serve a two-game ban.
