Parkinson felt Wrexham doing the basics well was the foundation for their 2-0 derby win over Newport – in what was the first meeting between the sides for five years.
Goals from James Jones and Elliot Lee, both from long Ben Tozer throw-ins, secured victory as the hosts maintained their automatic promotion chase.
The clash was played in windy conditions at the Racecourse Ground which made it difficult at times for both teams, but Parkinson felt the Dragons doing the fundamentals in football helped tee up their triumph.
He said: “It was a game played in very difficult conditions, swirling wind, but we’ve been training in those conditions this week so we’re kind of used to it.
“When it’s like that, the game’s always going to have a scrappy feel to it and it was important we were ready to scrap first and second balls all over the pitch.
“I felt we did that very well and the moments of quality in terms of football, we knew they might be not as often as what it is in normal conditions, but we still played some good football and we switched the play and got in some dangerous positions, so all-in-all I thought the lads have stuck to the job at hand and got another very important three points for us.
