THEY’RE BACK IN CONTENTION GAFFER: BIG PLAYERS COULD BE READY
Town boss Pete Wild says Matty Brown and Cameron King are both back in contention ahead of Saturday’s trip to Woking.
The influential duo have both been sorely missed in recent weeks, with playmaker King absent since Town’s 2-0 defeat to Boreham Wood a month ago, and captain Brown not playing since 2-1 win over Solihull Moors at the end of August.
“They’re back in training and we’ll decide whether they’re both ready for Saturday this week,” said Wild.
The Town boss says he is looking to send two or three players out on loan and hopes that would mean he would be able to bring players in. But none of that is expected to be before Saturday.
“I’ve got a lot of decisions to make, probably the most since I started,” he said of selecting his side for Woking.”I’ve got some players to sit down and have a chat with this week around maybe sending them out on loan.
“It depends how quickly I can get people out on loan and how quickly I can then secure the services of other people.
“These things take time, we’re not playing Championship Manager here, you’ve got to do these deals appropriately with clubs and make sure you do things right.”
When asked whether striker Jack Redshaw is in contention to start on Saturday, Wild said: “He’ll be in consideration like everyone else and we’ll see how far down the line he is with his sharpness and his fitness.
“We’ve got to remember he’s not played a lot of football in the last 12 months so
I’ve got to be careful, and make sure he’s ready for what comes with this league.
“Is it too soon for him to be starting? I need to make that decision over the next 48 hours.”
Wild says he has selection headaches all over the pitch.
“One thing the lads are doing is chomping at the bit to be in the side, there’s nobody coasting or cruising,” he said. “We we’ve had a difficult time of things recently, and we’re all keen to put it right and to stay where we are in the league, or even better.
