Smith Looks for Good Start to Season
Last updated : 23 June 2005 By Gary Fish
Wrexham boss Denis Smith wants to begin the new season in style as the north Wales side look to bounce straight back into League One.
The Dragons start life in League Two at home to Boston United, before away trips at Notts County and Northampton before the visit of promoted Carlisle United.
"It's difficult to judge at this stage because you need to see what ambitions they have," Smith said.
"We've got three teams who have got a chance of doing well, but it's up to us to make sure we do better."
Boston United finished 18th in the table last season, Notts County finished a place below while Northampton made the play-offs finishing seventh.
After they were releagted in 2004 Carlisle jumped straight back into the Football League coming the Conference play-offs.
Wrexham have been installed as joint second favourites to win the title, and Smith is quietly confident his side can go up
He added: "Boston haven't done a great deal since they've come up so you'd think we've got a good chance to get off to a good start.
"But there are no guarantees because they might be going for it this year so you don't know.
"Notts County are a big club who've had their bad times but they should be coming back.
"They've got a new manager and things could be coming right for them.
"Northampton spent a lot of money last year, made the play-offs and looked a good side; and Carlisle will probably get the biggest gates in the league."
Wrexham were relegated to League Two, after a 10-point deduction for entering administration plunged them into the relegation zone in December, with the Dragons unable to recover.
