Wrexham looking to 'pull away'! Red Dragons midfielder James Jones reveals aims for rest of 2023 as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's side chase down League Two promotion

League One

Stockport County

Wrexham

With cup matters set aside and League Two's cramped Christmas fixture schedule upcoming the Dragons are preparing themselves for a period that could go some way to defining the season. Six league games in just 24 days will provide a stern mental and physical test but Jones senses an opportunity to rack up points quickly and push ahead in what has so far proven to be a congested table.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"It is an important time," the 27-year-old told the <a href="https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/23972428.wrexham-busy-spell-league-two-fixtures-coming/">Wrexham Leader.</a> "Because you can quickly pull away from teams or equally, teams can pull away from you if you are not picking up points in a short period of time."We know what it's going to be like. It's a hectic period but we have done it before and it is a good, strong squad.That's going to be important, especially when you have got games back-to-back in a short period of time."

WHAT JAMES JONES SAID

Wrexham have recovered from a shaky start to life in League Two to climb to second in the race for the three automatic promotion spots to League One. While leaders Stockport have opened up a five-point gap at the top, the Red Dragons sit at the head of a pack of five sides separated by just a single point. How that picture looks by the time the FA Cup returns in January <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-boss-phil-parkinson-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-hectic-christmas-schedule/bltd561fd3c93f9848f#csa5882cb7c134cf6d" target="_self">could be pivotal.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Dragons will be hoping to get off to a solid start when they travel to The New Lawn to take on strugglers Forest Green Rovers on Saturday afternoon.
