Wrexham manager Bryan Hughes.

Wrexham’s League Treble Chance At The Racecourse

Wrexham are going for their own treble chance at the Racecourse, starting against Stockport County on Saturday.

Manager Bryan Hughes and his Dragons play their next three Vanarama National League fixtures at home – against County, Maidenhead and Sutton United.

They also take on Scottish club Ayr United in a Scottish League Challenge Cup tie on Saturday, September 7.

Those four matches in front of their own fans give Wrexham the chance to kick on after they stumbled and lost 4-2 at Hartlepool United on Bank Holiday Monday.

“We have three home games coming up now in the league and are looking for a response following the Hartlepool defeat,” said Hughes.

“I have a lot of belief in the players to put this right and they know what is needed.

“Monday was certainly a bad day at the office all-round conceding four goals and another man sent off was hard to take.

“We have to try and stay positive, but the result was unacceptable and now we are looking forward to hopefully putting it right tomorrow.”

“I don’t like losing games and or conceding four goals in a game.

“There are a few things that we need to get back into our own performances.

“Hopefully in these three home games coming up we can increase our points tally and start moving up the table.

“The Stockport game has come at a good time for us where we can bring everyone together again and hopefully have the players performing to a level what is expected.”

Stockport have enjoyed a good start to life in non-League’s top tier, having won promotion last season, and are seventh. 

Wrexham are 13th in the table after a run of three matches without a win – two draws and a defeat.

“It’s still early days and we can’t get too worried just yet,” said midfield player Akil Wright.

“There is still a lot of football to be played and I am sure we will get back to being solid in defence and winning games.

“We have just to keep going and move on from Hartlepool. We go again.

“The red cards haven’t helped but we are a team and we are always a team.

“We are at home on Saturday and we have a good record at the Racecourse. We are looking forward to it.

“There is going to be a big turnout and we will looking to get back to winning ways.”

The last time Wrexham played Stockport was in an FA Trophy replay during 2015 when the Welsh club won 6-1. The two sides haven’t met in the league since 2012-13, when County were last in the fifth tier.

The only players from that 2015 Wrexham are Emmanuele Smith and Mark Carrington, while Dragons’ Jason Oswell is a former Stockport striker who scored 30 goals for the club in 2017-18.

Wrexham have scored in every match this season, and two players – Bobby Grant and Mark Harris – who have scored three goals.
