Wrexham 'well above' expectations - Morrell

Andy Morrell says Wrexham cannot afford to lose at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday (15:00 GMT) - but says the club are currently "well above" where he expected them to be this season.

Phil Parkinson's side were beaten 2-0 at Reading on Tuesday as they missed the chance to rise above Wycombe into second in League One.

But they could move into the automatic promotion spots with victory against the Chairboys, although former Wrexham player and manager Morrell feels the game at Adams Park is a must-not-lose for Parkinson's side.

"They can't lose the game," he told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.

"They need to take something out of this game.

"Wycombe have got 10 games left after [Wrexham] and six of those are against top-nine teams, so it's very much in our hands.

"We've got to just go there and play. Go and do what they've done all season which has been fantastic and well above where I expected them to be and try and get something out of the game."

Following a hectic schedule of late, Parkinson has suggested he will rotate his squad for the contest with Mike Dodds' outfit.

And Morrell praised Parkinson for the way he has kept his talented squad happy during his tenure in north Wales.

"I think that's his hardest task," added Morrell.

"He's done it brilliantly for the past two-and-a-half years because we've had a really good squad and he keeps adding to it so the depth is crazy.

"You keep everybody happy because the team is winning. They've done ever so well, to be right in contention with 10 games to go, I think everybody would've taken that at the start of the season."
