Wrexham rescue late point at FGRMullin penalty secures 1-1 drawParkinson says team 'aren't producing'Getty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?
Mullin's spotkick deep into second-half stoppage time earned the Welsh side a 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Forest Green on Tuesday night, after Emmanuel Osadebe's opener. The result means Wrexham have won just two of their last eight League Two games, and manager Parkinson admits they need to rediscover a collective spark.

The Wrexham boss told BBC Sport: "At the moment we're having a period where we're not producing, we know that, but it will come. We need something like the penalty tonight (Tuesday) to get us up and running again. We need something like the penalty to get us up and running again. We've looked at the reasons why, how we can be more productive. We're going to use that penalty to lift us back up for the weekend game against Accrington."

Wrexham's draw means they are outside the automatic promotion spots by one point, behind third-placed Crewe. While the Red Dragons have the best home form in League Two, with 12 wins, two draws and two losses, nine teams have a better away record. A minus seven goal difference and just 16 goals in 18 matches begs the question, can Parkinson's men go up automatically relying so much on their record at the Racecourse?
WHAT NEXT?
As Parkinson said, next up for fourth-placed Wrexham is a home clash against 15th-positioned Accrington Stanley on Saturday. The weekend after that, they travel to mid-table Morecambe, followed by the visit of Harrogate Town on March 12.
