WREXHAM boss Phil Parkinson said his side had to display some real quality after they beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Hillsborough.

Sam Smith's fourth goal in six Championship games was enough to see the Red Dragons return to the playoff places after Derby's dismantling of Bristol City on Friday.

Parkinson said:

"These games are never straightforward. I spoke to the lads about games over the last four years that we've had in similar circumstances where we've gone to teams who are at the bottom of the table and nearly all the games have had a similar feel to them.

"I'm very pleased because we had to display some real quality to get the win and that moment of quality came with a great move down the right-hand side. It was a great cross from Issa (Kabore) and Sam did what he does in the six-yard box.
