WREXHAM, Wales — Wrexham were in a bit of a no-win situation against Preston North End. It is a huge credit to manager Phil Parkinson that their 4–1 victory still felt so euphoric.
A win would come with the caveat that it was against the team at the bottom of the EFL Championship, while a failure to win would only have intensified the scrutiny around Parkinson's side after two matches without a win.
