The result moves the club back into third place, just three points behind leaders Mansfield Town, and Parkinson has explained that there was a small tactical shift that helped his side to victory.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A brace from Andy Cannon and a goal from Paul Mullin proved decisive for Wrexham against Grimsby and Parkinson has explained that he tried to line up in a way that would shock their opponents, with Elliot Lee deployed in a No.10 role. And the result led to a delighted tweet from Rob McElhenney.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🔥 🦁 <a href="https://t.co/mfZewbJ5Eh">https://t.co/mfZewbJ5Eh</a>— Rob McElhenney (@RMcElhenney) <a href="https://twitter.com/RMcElhenney/status/1771562870779584895?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 23, 2024</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Parkinson told reporters: "We changed the shape slightly. We put Elliot Lee in behind the front-two because I knew Grimsby had worked very hard in their preparation to stop us and it really worked for us. "It gave us a different dimension. Tom (O'Connor) is great at just picking up pieces and filling the holes when other players go forward and we scored some great goals."

WHAT PARKINSON SAID

Wrexham are next in action on Friday against leaders Mansfield in a huge game that could be decisive for their automatic promotion hopes.
