“We’ve got that opportunity to get back in the [Football] League.
“It’s obviously a big occasion for everyone but we’ve managed those expectations well all season and I think when that pressure’s on you have to be able to manage it.
“We’ll just do the same thing on Saturday, all prepared the exact same I’m sure as a team.”
O’Connell joined Wrexham from League One Charlton Athletic on the final day of the January transfer window for an undisclosed fee.
He marked his debut by scoring the late winner as Wrexham won at Altrincham in February and has made 13 appearances as they have gone head to head with Notts County for the title.
“It was a huge draw for me to be involved with something like this,” O’Connell said.
“It all happened quite quickly and it was a no brainer for me really.
“It’s something I’ve always kind of wanted to be involved in my career, to be part of something like this on the up.
“It was too much of an opportunity to turn down really.
“I’ve really, really enjoyed being here so far and loved every minute of it.
“The players and the staff have made me really welcome from the first minute. There wasn’t any time to settle in.
“The pressure was on and we needed to keep winning games and I think that helped me settle in a way because it was just so easy to fit in with all the lads and throw myself into it.”
