Parkinson's double frustration as Wrexham denied
Phil Parkinson bemoans his team's lack of ruthlessness – and the amount of stoppage time at the end – after a 98th-minute equaliser denies Wrexham victory at Cardiff.
Phil Parkinson expressed disappointment over his team's lack of determination and the excessive amount of added time in a 98th-minute equaliser that prevented Wrexham from securing a Welsh derby victory against Cardiff City. Wrexham started the new Championship season with a hard-fought win after Kieffer Moore's third-minute goal at the Cardiff City Stadium, but they missed opportunities to extend their lead and were denied a win when Rubin Colwill scored a free-kick in the final moments.
The Wrexham goalkeeper made saves but failed to create top-class chances, according to Parkinson. The team knew they could trouble Cardiff and extend the game, but they failed to capitalize on these chances. Parkinson questioned the timing of the six minutes of added time, suggesting the officials should be asked about it. He also expressed frustration over Cardiff's cheap free-kicks, which could be punished at this level, ultimately costing Wrexham the win.
