Andy Morrell is of the opinion that Notts County has helped Wrexham produce their best performance this season, which could lead them to break a club record for most points in a single season. Morrell was in charge of Wrexham when they narrowly missed out on winning the National League title in the 2011-12 season to Fleetwood Town, despite achieving their highest-ever points tally of 98. However, with 91 points already secured from 37 matches, Phil Parkinson's side is on track to surpass that record.
Although Wrexham is currently one point ahead of Notts County, who have a game in hand, the title race is far from over, with County in contention for automatic promotion. Despite Wrexham's unbeaten streak of 25 league games, County recently managed to come back from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over Eastleigh. With nine games left, the fate of the title is still undecided, but Wrexham's strong performances so far this season put them in an excellent position to secure the title.
Morrell believes that the rivalry between Wrexham and Notts County has inspired his former team to produce their best form this season, as they aim to surpass their previous highest points tally. Having gained 91 points already, they are in a good position to achieve this feat. However, with Notts County hot on their heels and still in contention for the title, the final outcome is not a foregone conclusion. Nonetheless, Wrexham's unbeaten run of 25 games should provide them with the confidence to secure the title.
Speaking to the leaderlive.co.uk, the former Reds player and manager said: "We can only worry about ourselves, we can’t worry what they are doing."
"I think the number of points Wrexham have got is because of Notts County. Wrexham have had to keep winning to be able to stay right in there so both of them have pushed each other to this ridiculous amount of points that they’ve both got, and could get.
"Wrexham have already surpassed the amount of goals they scored last year, they have already got more points than last year, and with nine games to go that is ridiculous.
"I can’t see anything other than Wrexham getting out of this league this year.”
On Tuesday, the Magpies managed to overcome Eastleigh by 3-1 despite initially being behind.
As a result, they are now only one point behind the Reds, who have a game in hand. Wrexham, who have gone undefeated for 25 consecutive league games, have the fate of the title in their own hands, and their former coach Morrell is confident that they will successfully conclude their campaign.
"It is just about wins now, Wrexham just got over the line, although they did have the better chances and Southend didn’t create a great deal.
"You have got to find a way to win and they did that.
"It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t the free-flowing football that you are used to here, the goals and the mauling’s they have given out to some teams, but they dug in and got through it; that is all that matters."
