The Dragons fought back from two goals down at The Hawthorns to snatch a point, but the match was overshadowed by a series of officiating decisions that left Parkinson furious.
“If you give a penalty for that, you’re giving three or four penalties every game,” boss Parkinson said about an incident that saw Josh Maja put Albion 2-0 ahead after 38 minutes.
“I can’t believe an experienced referee has given that after Molumby has thrown himself to the floor.
“Of course, there’s contact but it’s only what you see in the penalty box all the time. A very, very harsh decision.”

The penalty, awarded by referee Bobby Madley after Jayson Molumby went down under pressure from Issa Kabore at a corner, doubled Albion’s advantage after an earlier slice of misfortune for Wrexham.
Isaac Price’s free-kick had deflected off George Dobson and crept in at the near post to give the hosts the lead.
Parkinson’s frustration did not end there. He also highlighted what he sees as a growing pattern of insufficient protection for striker Sam Smith.
“Against Sheffield United (Japhet) Tanganga pulls Smudge (Smith) down, which is a straight red card, and the free-kick gets given against him.
“Today, he’s clean through and (Nat) Phillips tugs him. It’s only slight contact but it’s a red card and I feel Smudge needs more protection.
“I’m going to send all those instances together and ask the referees over the next two days to give me some answers.
“I’m always in communication with Kevin Friend, the head of the (Championship) referees, because he’s a great guy and he listens.”

Despite the anger, Wrexham showed resilience to rescue the game after the break.
Having been second best in the opening period, they responded within minutes of the restart when Josh Windass curled home an excellent effort from distance to reduce the deficit.
That goal sparked a shift in momentum, and the equaliser followed just after the hour mark.
A dangerous delivery from Callum Doyle caused confusion in the Albion defence, with Lewis O’Brien and Dobson both involved as the ball crossed the line. O’Brien later revealed Dobson insisted he had not got the final touch.

Wrexham pushed for a winner and looked the more threatening side in the closing stages, though they needed a superb late save from Arthur Okonkwo to deny substitute Daryl Dike and preserve the point.
Reflecting on his team’s turnaround, Parkinson added: “There was a fantastic response after the break because we were a bit passive first half.
“We asked the lads for character and an improvement in the quality of our play second half and they did that brilliantly.”
The result lifts Wrexham into sixth place, strengthening their bid for a play-off spot, although rivals Southampton remain just behind with a game in hand ahead of a crucial meeting between the sides in North Wales.
For West Brom, the draw extends their unbeaten run to five matches under interim boss James Morrison, but they remain nervously positioned just above the relegation zone.
Morrison disagreed strongly with Parkinson’s assessment of the penalty decision.
“The referees said they were going to punish it (holding at corners) and clamp down on it, and I haven’t seen it all season.
“So I’ll take that all day. I think he did push Jayson to the ground so it’s a correct decision.”
He added: “It’s another game ticked off. It’s a good point.”
While Albion edge closer to safety, the spotlight remains firmly on the officiating controversy—and Parkinson’s determination to seek answers—as Wrexham continue their push for promotion.
