Consequently, what happened?
The Red Dragons would rather maintain their collective attention on a “tough” promotion attempt. Due to a challenging recent run, which has seen Phil Parkinson’s team win only two of their past eight games across all competitions, they are currently in a race for a top-three finish.
TUNNICLIFFE’S COMMENTS ABOUT WREXHAM
Regarding measures to prevent squandering too much time examining the fourth-tier standings, Tunnicliffe has stated: It’s a difficult division, division Two. Through the play-offs, Notts County caught up to us, and neither of us has performed as well as we did the previous season. You have to give respect to some really good teams. You attempt to concentrate on yourself, but with all the apps available on your phone these days, it is simple to glance at the table and the configuration of every team.
All you need to do is practise extreme self-discipline and pay attention to each game as it arises. That may sound trite and uninteresting, but it’s the truth. You won’t be concentrating on what needs to be focused on if you start looking ahead. Tuesday must be our first priority, and we must go from there.
THE LARGER IMAGE
After winning the National League title in record-breaking fashion the previous season, Wrexham knows what it takes to overcome a promotion line, and Tunnicliffe feels it will serve them well. “It is all to play for,” he continued. We need to demonstrate a killer instinct away from home, just like we did the previous season. We need to return to our previous level of performance when playing on the road. Gillingham is no longer with us. How we react is what counts. This week we have two more games, and what counts is how we play on Tuesday (away to Forest Green) and Saturday (at home against Accrington Stanley). Get the most points possible from the table and those two games.
FUTURE PLANS FOR WREXHAM?
The Red Dragons’ inconsistent away performance continued with their recent 1-0 loss against Gillingham. They will now travel to Forest Green Rovers for a match. There are 13 games left for them to accrue enough points for automatic promotion, avoiding the need to purchase an additional play-off lottery ticket.
