>> Sam Aiston says it's now or never for Wrexham


Failure to win any of their last six matches, drawing just two, means Wrexham are now seven points away from safety with just five matches remaining.

And the first of those is Sunday's all-ticket derby at Shrewsbury Town, who have not won for 15 matches, and Reds' boss Little knows three points are vitally important for his side.

"We know where Shrewsbury are, but the only thing that concerns us is to win," said Little today. We just need to win.

"We have to go flat out and throw caution to the wind to get a result, and then see where that takes us.

"We can't afford to do anything other than have a real go at our opponents and see where what happens.

"Whatever happens tomorrow when the other teams play, we have to win against Shrewsbury.

"If other teams win, it makes it more difficult for us."

Little bemoaned Wrexham's inability to pick up more points than they have done during their recent poor run.

Although he knew leaders Milton Keynes Dons would be tough prospects on Tuesday, where Wrexham lost 4-1, he was disappointed they have not been able to pick up any wins against their fellow strugglers including Mansfield and Dagenham and Redbridge.

"Sometimes we have bigger chances of getting something out of games than the scoreline suggests," added Little.

"It was disappointing that in the five games before MK Dons, which was always going to be tough because they are the best team along with Peterborough, we have no been worse than those teams but we have not been able to win.

"And they were important games.

"We know it was a big period but it was disappointing what we got out of them and that has put us in the position we are in today.

"When we were playing teams around us and had a chance to turn the corner and win games, we have been found wanting.

"It has always been in our hands until the last week or so. We had the potential to catch teams but haven't because of our own failings.

"In most we had the opportunity of getting more out of them but haven't.

"That's where it has gone wrong."

Little has got fresh injury problems ahead of Sunday's derby with Chris Llewellyn (illness), Neil Roberts (ankle), Danny Williams (stiff back) and Gareth Evans (hamstring) all missing training yesterday.

But the Reds' boss is hopeful that Simon Spender and Wes Baynes will return to training in the run up to the game.

And on-loan striker Drewe Broughton is available after missing Tuesday's defeat at parent club MK Dons.
