Former captain Ben Tozer says Phil Parkinson has answered his critics after Wrexham responded to their early-season questions with a "perfect away performance" at Millwall.
Wrexham clinched their first Championship win of the season in style with an emphatic 3-0 victory over beaten play-off semi-finalists Millwall.
Parkinson's side were winless and without a clean sheet in four matches across all competitions ahead of their trip to The Den.
But Tozer, who made 136 appearances and won back-to-back promotions with Wrexham, says the win at Millwall was the "perfect" response.
"Parkinson has been questioned after their start," Tozer told BBC Radio Wales.
"But he will have known there was a response coming from the team and he made the right changes - bringing back [Max] Cleworth and [Josh] Windass - to get that response.
"Parkinson has often been questioned, but he always comes up with the answers.
"That was pretty much the perfect away performance at a really tough place to play that saw the home crowd turn on their team pretty early.
"Three goals, a clean sheet and no shots on target faced.
"They controlled the game, even at three-nil, and the players coming off the bench kept the intensity and energy levels high."

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson now knows the makeup of his squad until January following the closure of the summer transfer window.
Deadline day deals were struck to sign Sheffield United's Callum O'Hare and Burnley's Joe Worrall, taking the Red Dragons up to seven summer signings.
They joined goalkeeper Anthony Patterson, wing-backs Danny Imray, Issa Kabore and Jacques Ekomie, and midfielder Ben Whiteman through the door at the Racecourse Ground.
Wrexham also offloaded several players, most notably Conor Coady and Elliott Lee, who saw their contracts mutually terminated, while Arthur Okonkwo and Ryan Hardie departed on loan.

Millwall win 'worlds apart' from Birmingham loss - Moorepublished at 06:13 BST

Moore: 'It was worlds apart from Birmingham performance'
Kieffer Moore believes Wrexham's 3-0 victory over Millwall was "worlds apart" from their 2-1 loss to Birmingham City five days earlier.
Moore netted his side's second goal in the triumph over the Lions at The Den, as Phil Parkinson's men registered their first Championship win of the campaign on the fourth attempt.
The Wales international lauded the way his side reacted to their underwhelming display in their defeat by Birmingham last time out.
"Very satisfying. I thought to a man, we were incredible," said Moore. "Everyone coming off the bench, incredible as well.
"It was a real team performance. We dug in deep, we worked hard together. I think in moments, we oozed quality.
"It was worlds apart from Birmingham today. We're delighted. We wanted a reaction, and we got a reaction."
Wrexham were left bitterly disappointed not to win either of their opening two league games of the season against Cardiff City and Watford.
Their loss to Birmingham then meant they had gained just two of the first nine points on offer this season, although they have risen to 11th in the table courtesy of their victory at Millwall.
And frontman Moore hopes the Red Dragons can now kick on after gaining a valuable three points in the English capital.
"We never lacked confidence. We've put in some good displays; I think we just lacked certain moments of quality maybe, and decisions," the 34-year-old added.
"The start of the season can be like that for everyone.
"I think you can look across the league, it's really spread out at the moment and it will be like that until maybe November.
"But we'll take huge momentum from this win and we're delighted."
Wrexham expect 'feisty affair' at Millwallpublished at 06:53 BST 2 September

Assistant boss Steve Parkin says Wrexham are anticipating a "feisty affair" when they take on Millwall at The Den tonight (19:45 BST).
The Lions won their opening two games of the league campaign but were thrashed 5-1 by Southampton last time out.
Wrexham - who are yet to win in four matches across all competitions this season - secured their first league victory of the 2025-26 campaign at Millwall.
But after Alex Neil's men reached the play-offs last term, Parkin is fully aware that his side have a tough task ahead of them.
"We're expecting what we always expect from Millwall, a feisty affair, a well-organised team, a hard-working team," he said.
"Everybody's well aware of what they achieved last season and they went really close.
"It's a game that we will have to be bang at it to come out with a result.
"The key thing is that we need to make sure that we're in the right frame of mind and be ready for the battle at Millwall, which it always is."
Josh Windass, Wrexham's top scorer last season, made his long-awaited return to action from a calf injury as a substitute in the 2-1 loss to Birmingham City on Friday.
Left wing-back Liberato Cacace and central midfielder Ben Sheaf remain sidelined, although Parkin confirmed the latter is edging closer to a return to action.
New signing Joe Worrall, who joined the club on a permanent deal from Burnley on transfer deadline day, is eligible to feature against Millwall.

Wrexham youngster Alex Moore has rejoined Cymru Premier side Colwyn Bay on loan until January.
The 20-year-old midfielder joined the Seasiders on loan in the second half of the 2025-26 campaign and made 12 appearances for Mike Wilde's side.
Moore - who featured for Wrexham against Wisla Krakow and Manchester United in pre-season - has now sealed a second temporary switch to The Blue Turtle Arena.
A Wrexham statement read: "All at Wrexham AFC would like to wish Moore and the Bay the best of luck."
Moore is eligible to make his second debut for Bay in their contest with Penybont on Saturday (12:30 BST).
Wrexham's defensive issues a quick fix - Jonespublished at 10:19 BST 1 September

Wrexham kept 12 Championship clean sheets in 2025-26
Former Wales international Nia Jones feels Wrexham's defensive issues can be fixed easily.
Phil Parkinson's charges are yet to win across their four games so far this season, and are awaiting their first clean sheet.
The back-to-back-to-back promotion-winning boss lamented both goals conceded in their 2-1 defeat by Birmingham, describing them as "soft".
Jones agreed with Parkinson's assessment, but believes the Red Dragons can quickly cut out their mistakes at the back.
"If you look at the goals, he [Parkinson] said they were two of the worst goals he feels they have conceded under his tenure. They were awful," she said on BBC's Feast of Football Podcast.
"You can look at that one or two ways. You can think it's not looking good for Wrexham, or you can say that they are two really quick fixes.
"One guy just walks into the back post off a corner. He's being half held. He doesn't even jump - you would be fuming with that.
"The second one is [poor] defending on the second phase off a throw-in. It's really fixable stuff, and they are only three games into the season.
"He [Parkinson] will absolutely want to pick up a couple of results in the next week, but they've got a tough run. Millwall away is tough and then Swansea."
Wrexham have added centre-back Joe Worrall from Burnley on deadline day. He joins other defensive additions Danny Imray, Anthony Patterson, Issa Kabore and Jacques Ekomie.
The Red Dragons head to beaten play-off semi-finalists Millwall on Wednesday evening as they hunt their first three points of the season.
