BRIAN LITTLE today defended Wrexham's style of play this season.
Little has come under attack for long ball tactics deployed by his side, but the Reds boss was adamant passing football was still very much part of Wrexham's game.

And Little said he will do whatever is necessary to win matches in the quest for pr
omotion: "Our job is to win football matches and we have to do whatever it takes," he said today.

"With Jefferson Louis, we need to get balls into the box, and doing that will see us create chances.

"We are not stopping playing football, I am not trying to do that.
"But if it means having to grind out a result then so be it. We are in a results orientated business and the motto is to do whatever it takes."

Wrexham recovered from successive defeats by beating Ebbsfleet last week and will be bidding to record back-to-back wins at Grays tomorrow.

Having seen Wrexham come under fire for those defeats against Burton Albion and Cambridge, Little knows the impact that a good run of results can have, with the Reds playing Rushden and Diamonds at The Racecourse on Tuesday and then hosting Torquay United next Saturday.

"From our point of view, we won a good game and it would be great to back it up with another win," said Little. "That would be another stepping stone.

"We have seen the impact of two successive defeats, and are aware of the impact that two wins in a row would have.

"We have got three games and if we can get some good results, it would make a massive difference to where we sit in the table in eight days time."

Little admits that he and his coaching staff have learnt a lot from those two defeats – as well as his players.

"It was a wake-up call two Saturdays ago and we are making sure we are spot on as well as the players," added Little.

"We have tried hard to work out and analyse why it went wrong at Cambridge, but the major reason was we were without three key players – and without a strong dominant centre-back in either Steve Evans or Nat Brown.

"Perhaps we have not done things right. When we changed the system at Cambridge it did not work so I have looked at myself.

"I am not saying we were doing things wrong before but we are trying to make sure we get things right from now on in."

n Two adult tickets for the Eric Roberts Stand, for the matches against Rushden & Diamonds and Torquay on Tuesday and Saturday respectively, have been reduced from £28 to £24.

And anyone taking advantage of the offer will receive a free under 12s ticket for the Torquay game.

Tickets are available from the ticket office and from Saturday, can also be obtained from the new club shop.
