Managerless Wrexham have returned to top spot in the Blue Square bet premier after an impressive 2-0 victory over Hayes & Yeading. The Dragon’s were largely dominant throughout the match but had to wait until 10 minutes into the second half before they were able to breach a stubborn ‘home’ defence. A Jamie Tolley corner lead to panic in the Hayes & Yeading ranks and Nathaniel Knight-Percival was on hand to scramble in his first goal of the season. The breakthrough had disheartened the hosts as Wrexham quickly doubled their advantage thanks to Mathias Pogba 3rd league goal of the campaign. There was no sign of Wrexham settling for their two goal advantage, without some fine interventions from Hayes’ on loan goalkeeper Steve Arnold, the lead could have been extended further as Arnold firstly denied Tolley and then Jake Speight in the dying embers of the match.
Once the first goal had arrived the victory was never in doubt for Wrexham, as they look to continue their push back into the Football League. The victory lifts the Dragon’s back above Gateshead, who had briefly taken top spot thanks to a 1-0 victory over struggling Ebbsfleet, and caretaker Manager Andy Morrell praised his side’s attitude as they picked up their third away win in a row. “It’s difficult, I had to leave lad’s out that would want to have been playing and they have come on and had tremendous attitude.” Morrell also seemed pleased to maintain his successes whilst in temporary charge and in the meantime enhance his chances of the job permanently. He said, “I wanted to keep the ball rolling, and I believe that I have done that and maybe a little bit more.”
After a tough run of three games in eight days, Wrexham’s next encounter is at home to Stockport next Saturday where they will look to continue their impressive start to the season.
