Play-offs a lottery but Wrexham must believe
Wrexham boss Bryan Hughes has urged his players to believe in their National League promotion ambitions ahead of the ‘lottery’ play-offs.
The Dragons are preparing for their tilt on a Football League return 11 years after their 2007/08 relegation.
Wrexham finished fourth in the National League and tonight welcome seventh-placed Eastleigh to the Racecourse in a play-off eliminator – the pre-semi-final stage newly introduced to the division this season.
Wrexham, who lost former boss Sam Ricketts to Shrewsbury in December, finished 10 points above their visitors. Hughes said: “We are fully focused on the job in hand. It’s a lottery in the play-offs, but building belief is key ahead of this big game.” The semi-finals, involving Solihull Moors and Salford, are on Saturday and Sunday. Fylde and Harrogate played the other eliminator last night.
