​Adie Britton saw his tired team slip into the bottom four of the Blue Square Bet Premier today but says he is confident results will soon pick up again.

Wrexham were comfortable 2-0 winners at Twerton Park as the exertion of six games in 16 days seemed to catch up with City's part-time squad.

City have won just one of those games but they have been competitive and boss Britton pointed to the calibre of the teams they have faced during that run.

"To date we have played four teams who you would expect to be up there and they haven't been outrageously better than us," he said.

"So in lots of ways, while it is disappointing to lose today, it is in no way desperate and we will learn from it.

"I'm sure Wrexham will be in and around the play-offs and they did very well. Goals change games and I think that's what happened to a degree today.

"I thought we did particularly well for the first 25 minutes of the game - we were strong at the back and we had a couple of very good opportunities.

"So to go 1-0 down on the half-hour rather than 1-0 up was massively disappointing. It was the nature of the goal more than anything else, it was clearly an individual mistake [by Ryan Robinson]. The throw was put into our box with no trajectory at all and it is landed in the six-yard box. We should have been able to defend that.

"Then for ten minutes before half-time they got on top but we came out in the second half and promised to turn it around.

"However, we were undone totally by the second goal, when Darren [Edwards] has lost his man at the near post, and I thought from that point we were always stretched and likely to concede a third."
