Phil Parkinson says it is "game on" for Wrexham in their promotion run-in as they prepare to return to home soil after three successive away matches.
The Red Dragons claimed four points from their fixtures at Watford, Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion to keep themselves in the mix for a play-off spot in the Championship.
Their 2-2 draw with the Baggies at The Hawthorns lifted Parkinson's men back up to sixth ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Southampton at Stok Cae Ras (20:00 BST), although the Saints have a game in hand.
"We'll take the point. If you look, before we played Watford, there were nine games to go, six away, three at home," said the Wrexham manager.
"I think people would have probably been looking at that thinking 'wow, that's going to be a tough challenge for Wrexham'.
"We got beaten at Watford, we beat Sheffield United and we drew here (at West Brom). We go into the last six games, three at home and three away, and it's game on."
Wrexham lost 3-2 to the Baggies in their opening home league game of the 2025-26 season.
Parkinson feels his side's fightback from two goals down against James Morrison's side, who are now unbeaten in five games, shows how far the Red Dragons have come since the early days of their return to the second tier.
"We have to appreciate where we've come from," added Parkinson.
"We're coming to West Brom competing in the top six while West Brom are at the bottom end of the table. That's a great credit to everyone at the club.
"Now the aim is to give absolutely everything in these final six games to finish the season off strongly."
