Dan Scarr issues rally cry ahead of Wrexham vs Stevenage as Red Dragons face huge February challenge
After returning to the starting lineup last week, Dan Scarr has now called on his Wrexham teammates to step up a gear and finish January on a high with a win against Stevenage.
Last time out, Wrexham earned a point in a 1-1 draw with league leaders Birmingham, though many Red Dragons fans believe they should have taken all three.
Dan Scarr made his first appearance for Phil Parkinson’s side since November after a battle with fitness and form, and is now looking ahead to more outings.
With the Wrexham vs Stevenage game coming up tonight, Scarr is under no illusions that his team need to get all three points, as they go into a tricky period next month.
Wrexham need to end January on a high at home
Speaking to The Leader ahead of the Stevenage game, Scarr reflected on a solid performance against Birmingham, and insisted the Wrexham squad now need to build on that when they face Stevenage.
“We were disappointed not to get the three points against Birmingham but if we can back it up on Tuesday at home, it’s a great result,” he said. “How we played second half, if we kick on and play like that, especially in the next few games, I don’t think teams will live with us and we can get some good points on the board.”
This game against Stevenage will be the last time Wrexham play at the Racecourse Ground until March, and Scarr claims the team must use that as motivation.
He added: “We need to build on that point, hopefully win this home game against Stevenage and then that puts us in a good position leading into these away games.”
February will be massive challenge for Wrexham with non-stop away games
It will be interesting to see what lineup Parkinson goes with against Stevenage, considering the hectic and difficult schedule ahead in February.
Away league games are to come against Crawley, Northampton, and Mansfield, with the rescheduled EFL Trophy tie against Port Vale sandwiched in between.
Given the league positions of those three opponents in League One — 12th placed Mansfield are currently the highest-placed opposition for Wrexham in February — you would hope the Red Dragons can get the results they need to keep up their title charge.
However, Wrexham’s poor away form has been a real concern this season, and it could potentially see their season derailed next month if improvements are not made.
