On Tuesday, Wrexham suffered a defeat on penalties against Bradford.
However, manager Parkinson was extremely dissatisfied with the referees’ call to award the opposing team a penalty within the first three minutes of the match.
The decision was made after Aaron Hayden was deemed to have committed a foul against Jamie Walker, and the manager expressed his belief that the referee had made a “guess” in this situation.
“For an absolutely nothing incident, the ref has given a penalty. He’s got four players in between him and the incident and he’s told me it was him who gave it, but there is absolutely no way he can see it so he’s clearly guessed”.
“The linesman has got the best view of all and is mic’d up and is supposed to communicate and the officials are supposed to work as a team.
“I feel a little bit aggrieved by how that decision has come about, but we have to take it on the chin and we had to respond and I thought the lads responded really well.”
In the shootout, Wrexham experienced two missed penalty attempts, as both Luke Young and James Jones were unable to convert. This loss signifies that the team has managed to secure victory in only one out of their previous five matches.
Wrexham travel to Tranmere this weekend as they seek to get back to winning ways in League Two.
