Wrexham manager Denis Smith hopes his side's LDV Vans Trophy win over Southend will help their League form as they battle relegation. "I hope we can take this victory in to the next six games, win them and stay up" said Smith, whose team are third bottom of the League One table.
"If you look at our team, there are some good young Welsh lads who have not done themselves any harm here.
"Hopefully someone will now think that Wrexham is a club worth saving."
Smith added the victory was all the more satisfying given Wrexham's current financial problems.
"It is up there [in terms of my managerial career] because of the problems we have had. It makes it more difficult to do," said Smith.
"We've been banging our head against the door but have now got some reward."
Captain Darren Ferguson, who scored the decisive second goal, was delighted for the supporters.
"It is a great day," said Ferguson. "We made hard work of it but it was a great result in the end - as much or the fans as for anyone else."
