Broughton has endured unsuccessful attempts to avoid the drop into the Conference while on loan at Boston last term – Wrexham's last day win at The Racecourse relegated the Pilgrims in a winner-takes-all clash – and with Rushden and Diamonds in 2006.

And although embroiled in another relegation dogfight with Wrexham, the 29-year-old striker believes he has a better chance of escaping the danger zone with the Reds – who are four points away from safety but have games in hand.

"Those two clubs did not have the same kind of set-up as Wrexham," said Broughton today. "Boston were nowhere near the kind of club Wrexham are, there was a different feel to it; and Rushden were not a big club like Wrexham.

"Both did not have the resources or the fans, and in a way you can understand those clubs falling out of the league.

"It is slightly easier here. No disrespect to Boston and Rushden but there is a better standard of player at Wrexham due to the finances available.

"One thing they had at the other two was a battling spirit, just like we have.

"Not many clubs have put a run of two defeats in 11 games together like we have, but we have to keep it going.

"I am determined to succeed this time. I am really focussed on helping Wrexham pull away and am focussed on my job."

Broughton has learned from his previous relegation battles and the much travelled striker stressed the importance of individuals concentrating on their own roles.

"If there was one thing it has taught me is you can't worry about relegation or think about the league table," said Broughton.

"I tried to take too much on my shoulders at one time. It should be up to each individual to focus on their own job.

"Monday to Friday you prepare and focus on your own job, and then go out and do it on the Saturday."

Broughton is expected to lead the front line in Wrexham's two matches during the Easter period – at Brentford on Saturday and against Dagenham and Redbridge at The Racecourse 48 hours later – but his month-long loan deal from Milton Keynes Dons expires on Tuesday.

If Broughton is allowed to extend his stay as hoped, the frontman would miss the Dons' Johnstone's Paints Trophy final against Grimsby Town at Wembley next month.

Broughton actually scored the winning penalty that secured Paul Ince's side a place in the final during his brief return to the Dons, but he said his priority is helping Wrexham in their Easter double header.

"I'm just going to leave it until after Monday's game. We have got a few days then to sort it," said Broughton.

"I have been training down there for a few days and all the lads are looking forward to Wembley. Everyone's buzzing and can't wait.
"But that is the last thing on my mind.

"It is a big weekend for Wrexham and we've got two massive games. All my thoughts are on that.

"I have been at Wrexham seven or eight weeks now, and I feel more like a Wrexham player."

Broughton, an ever-present since arriving at The Racecourse two months ago, scored his first goal for the Reds in Saturday's 2-1 win against Bury.

And a change in system was the key according to Broughton, who added: "It has taken me longer than it normally takes me to score. But chances had been few and far between when we played with one up front.

"There were more scoring opportunities on Saturday when we played with two in attack, and more crosses came in with two wingers.

"Scoring is not a problem, it has never phased me, and I am sure more chances will come my way. We are playing a more attack minded system and I have got goals in me."
