As most were starting to write off Wrexham's Championship play-off hopes, the race for the top six has been flipped dramatically in the space of just four days.
The Red Dragons have sealed back-to-back wins against Stoke City and Oxford United to wipe out a four-point deficit to Hull City - whose own winless run was extended to five games following draws with Birmingham City and now relegated Leicester City.
Calls for calm from boss Phil Parkinson have been fully justified, just as they were in stages of each of their promotions from the National League, League Two and League One.

Wrexham have already secured their highest-ever league finish and now have 70 points to their name having played 44 of the 46 regular season matches.
Since the English Football League was restructured in 2004, teams finishing sixth in the Championship have ended the campaign with an average of 73 points.
Parkinson's men need one win from their final two outings to reach that total, although the likelihood is that they just need to better or match Hull's results, providing that Derby County do not spring a surprise by beating both Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield United in their final two games, to achieve their real target of a top-six finish.

Wrexham and Hull have the same number of points, but the Red Dragons have a better goal difference by a margin of just two.
Following successive games against two struggling sides, Wrexham now return to action against newly-crowned champions Coventry City on Sunday.
The hosts showed no signs of taking their foot off the gas as they sealed the title with an emphatic 5-1 win against Portsmouth on Tuesday night.
Frank Lampard's men were unbeaten in their opening 12 league games of the campaign but came up against an inspired Kieffer Moore whose hat-trick fired Wrexham to a 3-2 win over the Sky Blues in the reverse fixture at Stok Cae Ras on October 31.

Former Chelsea and England midfielder Lampard will know only too well the threats Wrexham pose on Sunday, although, having already secured a return to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years, and the Championship title to go with it, the pressure is no longer on Coventry's shoulders.
To that end, Wrexham's co-chairman Rob Mac - ever the opportunist - jokingly attempted to ensure Lampard's side went into the meeting with Wrexham on Sunday as rusty as possible.
Writing on X, Mac said: "Congrats to @Coventry_City!
"My friend @VancityReynolds (Ryan Reynolds) and I would like to offer you a first class trip to @Vegas.
"Please be ready in the AM and be back in time for kick-off on Sunday. A little late is okay too."
To his credit, the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star went on to add: "Serious congratulations on a spectacular season. Hoping to see you soon."
Having left themselves with work to do in the final stages of their run-in following a three-game winless run after the March international break, Parkinson's men have, in the blink of an eye, wrestled back control of their play-off destiny.
As a result of the turnaround, Opta's predictor model now gives Wrexham a 48.46% chance of securing a top six finish, almost identical to the 48.44% chance they give Hull of clinching a play-off spot.
The return of Matty James in midfield has been a huge plus for Wrexham, and they will also hope to have Ben Sheaf back in the near future, potentially for the play-offs - should they make it.
But they are once again doing the business when it matters the most. Crucially, it means a fourth successive promotion is not beyond the question.
"The dream's still alive for us," said Parkinson after the 1-0 win at Oxford.
"I feel in a good place. Our away form has been strong this season, and tonight was a good example of that.
"For us, there's nothing we can do more than win, so we don't need to know the scores around us.
"We're just concentrating on making the right decisions and getting another three points each game."
