Boss pleased with his side's 'gritty' display

WREXHAM manager Phil Parkinson felt his players showed the necessary grit to claim victory at Millwall ahead of the international break.

Parkinson said: “We showed a gritty and determined nature to us, and I think that was important.

Not only was the 2-0 victory gained at The Den a first Championship win of the season, but it was the Red Dragons’ first in the second tier since the 1981-82 campaign.

Kieffer Moore set them on their way with his fourth goal in three games before Lewis O’Brien sealed the result, but only after a lengthy delay following a serious-looking injury to goalkeeper Danny Ward.

“You have to do that here at Millwall because they're a good side and it’s a really difficult place to come - I've managed here many times and I’ve played here, and you've got to be stand up and be counted.
