However, things are
shaping up nicely along the Welsh coast once more with the Dragons poised for
another shot at promotion after a strong start to the new campaign.
A 3-0 victory over
Barrow on Tuesday evening extended Andy Morrell’s side’s unbeaten run to nine
games consolidating third place in the table and lying just three points from
top spot.
Although two points
were dropped during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Dartford, Wrexham made light work
of their fruitless opponents in tough windswept conditions at the Racecourse
Ground.
Holding the joint best
defensive record in the division, assistant manager Billy Barr praised the
steely determination of the Dragons back four.
Speaking to BBC Radio
Wales Barr said: “After being frustrated on Saturday we've bounced back in the
right manner tonight.
“I thought the
backline were magnificent... it was difficult conditions, especially in the
second half where they kept sticking it on the edge of our box, but we were
brave, started high and defended well.”
Midfielder Jay Harris
set Wrexham on their way to victory with a stunning 35-yard drive, with Andy
Bishop and Rob Ogleby adding two second half goals making it a comfortable
evening for the hosts.
Barr continued: “I
doubt there will be a better goal scored at the Racecourse this season than Jay
Harris's. As soon as the ball left his foot - we were right behind it - you could
see it's going top corner.”
Morrell takes his
side to newly promoted Nuneaton on Saturday with claiming top spot high on the
agenda.
Second placed Forest
Green Rovers visit the Racecourse Ground the following weekend in a crucial
test of both sides’ promotion credentials.
With no Fleetwood
Town to contend with this year, amassing 98 points will almost certainly see
Wrexham back into the Football League.
The Welsh side’s
strong start to this campaign suggests another season in and around the
promotion picture is definitely on the cards.
