Weekend Preview

Last updated : 04 February 2005 By Charles

The first game of the weekend sees Promotion chasing Sheff Wed take on mid table local rivals Barnsley in a midday showdown which promises not to disappoint.

High flying Hull take on Bristol City in what could be a tricky game as look to get themselves into the play off positions

At the bottom of the table, basement boys Stockport take on fellow strugglers Peterborough, with three points a must for both sides, particularly Stockport with both Peterborough and MK Dons above them with a game in hand.

Ideally for us, this game will produce a draw, meaning neither have chances of closing the gap on us as we travel to the Bescot Stadium to take on Walsall, who sit in 15th place in the league and are unbeaten in their last three games at home.

The reverse fixture in October saw the game end level at 1-1, and with our boys on a run away from home, unbeaten in three, and with Juan Ugarte back in the squad following his suspension against Doncaster last week, the chance to take three points back to Wrexham must be taken as we battle to get out of the relegation zone.
