Phil Parkinson was disappointed to have been edged out of the Carabao Cup at Middlesbrough on Friday night at the first hurdle, but was pleased with the performance given limited preparation time after their pre-season tour.
Will Lankshear's excellent strike midway through the second half at the Riverside Stadium proved enough for the hosts to progress to the second round.
"I thought we had enough chances, particularly first half, to have progressed in the competition," Parkinson told the Wrexham website after the game.
"The game has been settled really by one quality finish from their lad [Lankshear]. We had some great build-up play, some good moments, but we didn't quite have that clinical edge that you need.
"That was a big ask, as I've said before. To come back on Monday from America, and to have trained very little, and then to have come here and go very close – of course you always want to go through, but you have to give the lads credit and there's positives in the performance.
"In any game of football, it's separated by those moments. I felt we had enough. We sunk a bit at times, but so did they – we just couldn't find the moment but there were a lot of positives for us."
