PHIL PARKINSON doesn’t like losing and the Wrexham boss will make sure the Reds resume normal service at The Racecourse tomorrow.
Wrexham were below par at Harrogate Town, who dumped the Reds out of the FA Cup for the second time in three years, but back at their spiritual home, it should be a different story in front of the television cameras again.
The Reds were Graham Taylor long-ball Watford-esque at times in Harrogate but the quality of their football at home has been excellent where they’ve won five and drawn one of their six games.
Mansfield came to Town just eight months ago in a League Two promotion head-to-head and it’s credit to both Parkinson and opposite number Nigel Clough that it’s the same scenario tomorrow but in a higher league.
Wrexham had much the better of last season’s three exchanges and I’m going for a repeat of last Easter’s 2-0 home win with Paul Mullin back on the scoresheet again.
OUR PREDICTIONS:
WREXHAM 2 MANSFIELD TOWN 0 NICK HARRISON
WREXHAM 2MANSFIELD TOWN 1 RICHARD WILLIAMS
WREXHAM 3 MANSFIELD TOWN 1 SHAUN DAVIES
THE SCORES SO FAR... RICHARD WILLIAMS 12; SHAUN DAVIES 11; NICK HARRISON 11
