Chorley game will be ‘a war of attrition’

“I remember being very frustrated after the game at home, and I know they will want to turn us over, and they’ll be doing everything they can to do that.

“So we’ve got to be ready on Saturday for what is going to be a tough, tough test down there. We can’t be half-a-yard off it, otherwise we’ll get punished.”

Wild said Liam Nolan and Jacob Hanson played 60 minutes against Salford and will be in contention for Saturday after their recent injuries.

The Town boss also confirmed Jack Earing played the full game against Salford after his loan at Spennymoor came to an end at the weekend.

“Confidence is high, and I’m pleased it is,” added the Town boss, “but confidence can’t turn to arrogance because as soon as that happens, we’re back to square one because we get knocked off our pedestal.

“We just want to keep approaching each game as it comes, keep our heads down andworkashardaswecanevery week because that’s the only way we’ll stay where we are.

“We need a little bit of luck along the way, but it’s really important we keep working as hard as we can and we keep being tough to play against.”

“I feel like I’ve learned a hell of a lot, I feel like I’ve got a hell of a lot to learn,” said Wild, who has won 22, drawn 10 and lost 18 matches.

“I’ve really enjoyed it. I keep saying I never thought at this stage in my career I’d get a chance, but now I have, I’m determined to take it and me and Chris (Millington) be the best people we can be.
