BRYAN HUGHES insists he is still the man for the job and will put Wrexham back on the road to success.

The Reds produced a woeful performance against Sutton United on Saturday and were heading for defeat after falling behind but salvaged an unlikely point through Bobby Grant's 88th minute penalty.

But avoiding defeat merely papered over the cracks and 19th placed Wrexham are now six games without a National League win, sitting just four points ahead of bottom of the table Ebbsfleet United.

Boos rang out as the final whistle sounded at The Racecourse but when asked whether he was confident he could revive Wrexham's fortunes, the under-fire Hughes said: "I certainly am. I’m even more confident.

"I brought a lot of this personnel to the club, I look around the squad and we have got a lot of quality; alongside that we have personnel who’ve been here for numerous years that know how much it means to the club and the fans, so we have got a good mix.

"I think it’s just about getting that formula to get us driving up that table.

"I know that (we’re at the wrong end of the table), I know exactly where we are and it’s not good reading, I understand that because we want to be as high as we possibly can because we want to build on what we did last season.

"I’d be in the wrong game if I wasn’t concerned because I’m concerned about us winning games and at the moment we’re not."

Hughes sympathised with fans - the attendance dipped under 4,000 - who booed the team off after Wrexham, one of the promotion favourites going into a 12th season in non-league, continued their poor start.

"The fans have been great since I’ve come to the club," said Hughes. "I feel every single kick with the fans; they are going to be frustrated, we haven’t won in six games.

"We are all frustrated. But they are still going to come, we are a fan owned club and they are still going to support the team and keep pushing us.

"Our players are human, they know it’s not happening for us at the moment but we need individuals in our team who are going to stand up and take the criticism and move forward.

"I can't fault the fans. They’re disappointed the way things are going at the moment like we all are but it’s my job to try and get it right."

Hughes, who guided Wrexham to the play-offs last term, admits the current position is unacceptable.

"It's not good reading, we want to try and be as high as we possibly can because we want to try and build on what we did last season," said Hughes.

"It is early days still but I would be in the wrong game if I wasn't concerned."

Despite the crowd's reaction after Wrexham's poor run in the league continued, Hughes remains committed to ensuring there are better times ahead for the Reds.

"It’s not nice (to hear crowd reaction). I’ve got a relationship with the club and the fans being an ex-player, sometimes that goes out the window if things aren’t going quite right," added Hughes.

"We haven’t won in six games and I understand the frustrations.

"Everything rests with me, I’m the manager of this football club. For all the good work that we’re doing in trying to be successful, we’ve got to take it onto the pitch.

"We weren't good enough to win the game."
