Wanderers did it the hard way at Shrewsbury – but Phil Parkinson did not mind one bit.
Though the performance at Greenhous Meadow was not nearly as smooth as the three away wins which had preceded it, the Whites boss could only salute another titanic effort on the road.
A two-week spell yielded four wins and more than 1,000 miles of travelling and while his side were forced to work hard for three points in Shropshire, they tasted all the sweeter at the final whistle.
“We’d won our last three away games with four goals but we can’t expect teams to give us that space to play,” said a jubilant Parkinson after the final whistle.
“That is what we saw against Shrewsbury, they gave us a lot of respect and changed their shape, which took us by surprise a bit.
“But we dealt with it well, the lads stuck to their jobs, and considering we had a tough game in midweek and they had eight days to prepare for the game I thought it was a massive victory for us.”
More than 1,500 fans sold out the away end at Shrewsbury, basking in the sunshine and another successful weekend for Wanderers.
Parkinson paid tribute to their support and asked them for help in the final push towards promotion.
“They turned up in such numbers again and they are special moments when you win away from home – I can tell you that now, it feels even better as a group,” he said.
“We’ve stuck together from pre-season, since day one, and we’re fighting and scrapping for every point and that is what we have got to continue to do.”
