Rock-bottom Wrexham entertain Macclesfield Town at The Racecourse on Saturday (3pm) with plenty of ground to make up if they are going to avoid relegation.

Tuesday's defeat against fellow strugglers Mansfield means Wrexham are eight points away from safety with just seven matches remaining.

Bolland, out of contract at the end of the season, is not throwing the towel in and doesn't want to be part of a relegated team

But the centre-back accepts that players' livelihoods are on the line.

"We have all got personal pride and can't let ourselves down," said Bolland today. "No-one wants to be associated with going down. I never have been relegated and I don't want to be now.

"You realise that at the end of the season, relegation changes everything that happens at a club. Managers have to make decisions and players might be told they are surplus to requirements.

"Everyone has mortgages to pay, it is that serious. The implications are massive.

"And from a personal point of view, you want to play in the Football League for as long as you can.

"When you finish playing, you want to say you played so many league games, not that you were part of a relegated team and never came back from that.

"We have to put everything into these games and see where it takes us."
Bolland said no-one has been allowed to lose heart following Tuesday's defeat against second from bottom Mansfield Town.

With a possible 21 points to play for, Bolland stressed the importance of sticking with the teams ahead of Wrexham to give the Reds some chance of avoiding the drop ahead of the final match of the season at Lincoln City on May 3.

"It was a big blow on Tuesday but no-one's been allowed to be down and sulk around," said Bolland.

"There are some big characters at the club who won't let people sulk, and we have to keep going.

"We have got another massive game against Macclesfield and as the gaffer has said, he needs to try and win and go from there.

"There are still points to play for and we just need to try and win as many as possible.

"We don't want to be going into the last game of the season having seen other teams lose games thinking, 'if only we had won a few in the run-in'.

"We just have to win tomorrow.

"Bolland has impressed in the heart of defence since joining Wrexham from rivals Chester City in January following a trial.
But Bolland will swap mediocre performances from himself for Wrexham victories at this crucial stage of the season.

"I am enjoying it at Wrexham," added Bolland. "The biggest thing I enjoy in football is winning games.

"That's the biggest buzz and I can't believe a club like this is down at the bottom.

"Personally, I would rather play average and we win every game at this stage and stay up.

"But we won't give up."
