PHIL PARKINSON could not fault his side's performance but the Wrexham boss rued missed chances as the National League top of the table clash against Solihull Moors ended in a 1-1 draw at The Racecourse.
Although the second placed Reds had opportunities to take the lead before the break, it was Moors, sitting fourth in the table, who went ahead early in the second half.
However, the response was instant as Ollie Palmer equalised just two minutes later as the striker netted his 11th goal since joining Wrexham from AFC Wimbledon in January, and the home side had chances to win the game.
The goal never came but Parkinson was delighted the way his team played as the Reds extended the unbeaten run to 14 games in the push for promotion.
"After the first 10-15 minutes, I thought we controlled the game and played some great stuff," said Parkinson.
"We had enough chances to win the game but we weren't able to take them; we had a couple of gilt edged moments and on another day we could have won three or four-one.
"But in terms of performance level, the way we passed the ball and controlled the game, particularly in the second half, I don't think we could have asked much more from the lads.
"We have had last minute winner's in games which have gone right to the wire, today we got a point when maybe we should have got three but through the course of the season that happens.
"We have got to regroup and go again on Monday (at home to Altrincham)."
Solihull, who went into the game unbeaten in 15 league games, quickly saw their lead cancelled out when Palmer headed home from Ben Tozer's long throw-in.
Parkinson hailed the way Wrexham regrouped following the set-back.
"We speak to the lads a lot about just resetting as a group," said Parkinson.
"Things go against you, decisions go against you, goals might go in but you have just got to reset yourself as individuals and as a team, and that's what we did.
"We didn't let that affect us and I felt there was only one team going to win the game, and it was us.
"A lot of good parts of the play, a lot of good composure in our passing and our decision making on the ball was good."
Tozer's throw-in has proved to be a valuable weapon with the centre-back supplying a number of assists in Wrexham's promotion challenge.
"As a team you have got to give the opposition a variety of problems," added Parkinson.
"Whether it is passing the ball, switching the play, the movement in wide areas, the overloads we were creating or it is a set-play and it is a long throw.
"We have got that and it can get you off and running as we have seen before in games, and it was great to see that hit the back of the net from Ollie."
