Phil Parkinson says Wrexham are relishing the "challenge" of keeping their play-off dream "alive".

Wrexham are seventh in the Championship table, two points behind Hull City, who occupy the final play-off spot.

Each team has three games left and on Tuesday evening Wrexham are at Oxford United and Hull visit Leicester City.

"I think it's just a great challenge for us," Parkinson said.

"We want to keep the dream alive as long as we can and Oxford is the next challenge."

Wrexham, after three games without a win, got their play-off bid back on track last Saturday with a 2-0 win over Stoke City.

Hull were held 1-1 at home against Birmingham City and like Wrexham they face a faced relegation-threatened team on Tuesday.

"I think it's great to be involved at this end of the table," Parkinson added.

"You look at some of the games over the weekend, the pressure of the games down the bottom and how tough those matches are.

"It's great not to be in that situation and where we are, and like I said, we've got to just enjoy this, and continuation from the weekend."

Parkinson reflected on how quickly the season has flown by since the turn of the year.

"I think after January when the transfer window closed, the season just seems to slip away so quickly and we find ourselves with three games to go," Parkinson said.

"The aim was to get to this stage where the season is still alive and we've done that and now we go down to Oxford tomorrow."
