LUKE SUMMERFIELD insists Wrexham will take heart from their positive results over Christmas as they attempt to get the promotion challenge back on track with victory over high-flying AFC Fylde tomorrow.

Wrexham thrashed title rivals Salford City 5-1 and also beat third placed Solihull Moors 1-0 at the end of last year but the Reds have begun 2019 with four successive defeats.

A trip to Mill Farm to face the Coasters represents another tricky test but one that Summerfield is approaching with confidence knowing Wrexham, just four points behind leaders Leyton Orient despite the poor run of form, have had good results against some of the teams at the top of the National League.

"Nobody has had a great Christmas period, ours has been no different, but we will look at the table with a lot of positives because we know a few wins and we will be back at the top again," said Summerfield.

"We know we are capable of beating anybody in this league and we proved that with wins against Salford and Solihull.

"We let ourselves down with a few results after that but we can still look back fondly on them two results and know what we can get to.

"We can look back on a lot of results this season with a lot of confidence and those two games will be high up in what we look to, especially the Salford one.

"If we play like that from now until the end of the season, we will be there or thereabouts from winning it.

"We have got a tough run-in and it starts tomorrow but we have got to get a win to start off a good run again."

Summerfield takes heart from the fact that fourth placed Wrexham, who failed to score in the run of defeats since the turn of the year, remain in the mix despite the Reds' worst spell of the season

"We can look upon the Christmas period with positives and negatives, with a few bad results we have had recently," said Summerfield.

"The games come thick and fast, you have got to stay fit and be in the mix.

"Some of the results haven't gone for us, we haven't won in a few but you look at the league table and we are not far off it at all.

"That is still a lot of confidence for us with where we are in the league, we can't complain with it.

"We are still in it and only four points off the top is massive for us."

Manager Graham Barrow revealed the players held a meeting this week to discus the blip, eager that there is no repeat of last season's failed promotion challenge when Wrexham failed to make the play-offs following an awful run-in.

When asked what was discussed, Summerfield added: "Just to reiterate the standards we had before this little run.

"From us it has not really been a massive issue.

"We have had a blip and it is part of football - you win some and you lose some.

"We have still got a lot of confidence and nothing has changed over the last few weeks, we are working hard in training to carry on what we have been doing and hopefully it will start tomorrow."
