Phil Parkinson praised his Wrexham squad's resilience after a remarkable 5-3 victory over Ipswich Town in an eight-goal Championship thriller. The Welsh side twice led before conceding in stoppage time, then trailed 3-2 early in the second half before scoring three times in the final 24 minutes to reclaim a playoff spot.

Wrexham's win came during a demanding stretch that included an FA Cup victory over Ipswich just eight days prior and a midweek draw with Bristol City. Parkinson highlighted the contrast in fixture congestion, noting Ipswich had no midweek game while his team played three matches in eight days. The manager was particularly frustrated by a missed penalty call when goalkeeper Christian Walton punched Callum Doyle's head from a corner.

Ipswich twice fought back to level in the first half through Anis Mehmeti and Ivan Azon, with Cedric Kipre's stunner putting the visitors ahead after halftime. George Thomason equalized with his first goal for Wrexham in the 66th minute, followed by late strikes from Doyle and Nathan Broadhead. Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna expressed disappointment at conceding "some really poor goals" despite scoring three themselves, calling it "really frustrating" to lose after dominating large portions of the match.
