Parkinson left to rue team selection in Hull loss
- Published
Phil Parkinson was left to rue naming an unchanged starting line-up as Wrexham were beaten 2-0 by Hull City at the MKM Stadium.
The visitors selected the same side that started Saturday's 1-1 draw at Preston North End for the contest with the Tigers as Wrexham's nine-game unbeaten Championship run came to an end.
"We went with the same team with the extra day of rest and I felt that was the right decision," Parkinson told BBC Sport Wales.
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing. When you looked at the performance and the lack of energy in the team, I've got to review that.
"However, we've been on a great run and the lads have given us a lot in a tough league.
"We've put in some really good performances in the nine-game run we've been on so I don't want to be too critical. I will review myself and my decisions and we'll respond at the weekend."
Kyle Joseph and Oli McBurnie netted either side of Kieffer Moore's second half penalty miss as the Red Dragons were beaten for the first time in the league since losing 1-0 at Stoke City in mid-October.
And while frustrated with his side's showing in Hull, Parkinson felt Wales striker Moore's penalty miss proved pivotal in the contest.
"It was a disappointing performance. The first half we gave the ball away too many times in dangerous areas," added Parkinson.
"We'd spoken about them reacting to Friday (Hull's loss to Middlesbrough) and pressing. We tried to play through it and we were too slow on the ball and invited that press.
"We conceded a goal which was one we could have dealt with but we had a great chance with Kieffer to level it.
"Second half I thought we started really well, got the penalty and that's the deciding moment in the game which was frustrating for us because if that goes in it could have been a different picture."
