Wrexham to relish 'jeopardy' of top-six push - Vyner

Zak Vyner made a total of 264 appearances for Bristol City [PA Media] Zak Vyner feels the "jeopardy" surrounding Wrexham's quest to reach the Championship play-offs is something the squad will relish. The Red Dragons go into Saturday's fixture with Sheffield United at Bramall Lane (15:00 GMT) in seventh place, sitting below sixth-placed Southampton on goal difference. But Vyner - who reached the second tier play-offs with Bristol City last season - believes Wrexham can be proud of having plenty at stake with eight matches of the regular season remaining.

"If you ask any footballer, you do want jeopardy in this part of the season," he said. "You don't want to be playing games with nothing to play for and you're just safe bobbing around. "You want to be in a place where every game matters, every minute means something and every moment means something.

And having finished in the top six last year, Vyner has warned his new club to not get distracted by the results of other play-off chasing sides. "There's loads of good teams in this league and especially this season where it's so tight between five or six positions," he said of the run-in.

"There's no point looking at, 'oh they've done this and they've done that'. "You've got to just focus on yourself and make sure you're all ready to put in a good performance and get three points. " He added: "It's the business end of it, that's where we're at now and you've just got to stay calm, stay in control of what you can control, which is us, and what we can do to get ourselves right to be all systems firing on Saturday.
