EXPECTATIONS were already high and they've gone up a notch following Wrexham's flying start to the League One campaign but you can't be disappointed with a draw away to Leyton Orient.
Phil Parkinson's back-to-back promotion winners have hit the ground the running and were third tier leaders on goal difference going into the clash with Orient at Brisbane Road.
With just one defeat in the opening seven games, which included a 100 per cent home record and some notable away results against a couple of the division's big hitters, the Reds have made an even better start than a lot of supporters ever imagined.
Orient, who finished in the top half of the division last season, may not be expected to be a potential promotion rival but they have picked up some decent results already themselves and they were a well-organised side that caused a lot of problems in the opening 30 minutes when they were well on top.
Although they never looked like conceding after coming through Orient's bright start when they rode their luck, Wrexham created very little at the other end but they did finish the game strongly with the substitutes making a difference as the Reds showed more impetus going forward.
It finished 0-0 but when you think of where Wrexham have come from in a short space of time, realisation has to set-in that this is actually a decent point.
Winning has become a habit over the last two seasons, particularly at fortress Racecourse, but there's not going to be three points to celebrate every weekend.
Wrexham have no divine right to win every game just because they are among the League One leaders.
They are playing at a higher level and no game is easy, and those points away at the likes of Orient could be very valuable come the end of the campaign.
The Reds may have adjusted well to the step-up but they've had to work hard for the excellent results they've achieved.
Every game has been tough - the gulf in class Wrexham enjoyed over their rivals in the National League rivals has dwindled significantly playing two divisions higher with Parkinson's men competing against the likes of Birmingham, Charlton and Huddersfield - and it has been a fantastic start.
There will be blips along the way due to the standard of the opposition but settling for a share of the spoils against bogey club Orient wasn't one.
Heading into Saturday's game, Wrexham hadn't won in the last seven meetings between the sides, drawing two and losing five.
The Reds had even failed to score in the last four clashes with the O's.
All this was before Parkinson's time at the helm and while there no goal to celebrate at the weekend, there was a fifth clean sheet in eight games which is brilliant for a team still adjusting to playing at a higher level.
Wrexham have conceded six goals in those eight matches and three of those came against big-spending Birmingham, who, as expected, have taken the division by storm and have taken over as League One leaders with the Reds now second.
But you can't complain that Wrexham are sitting in the top-two heading into October.
