Wild – ‘We have got the bit between our teeth’

GAMES THROUGH suspension, with Michael Duckworth expected to replace him at right wing-back, and said defender Matty Brown’s ongoing ankle injury, which has kept him out of the last two games, will be assessed ahead of Bromley’s visit.

“It was too early for him on Tuesday,” Wild said on Brown. “He’ll be assessed again Thursday morning and we’ll see where we are for the weekend.

“It’s not ideal but people are coming in and taking their chances at the moment, which is why we’re doing well.

“When asked what he was expecting from Bromley, who have lost their last three games, and six of their last eight, Wild said: “More of the same from Tuesday, exactly the same. And we’re going to have to be ready for them.

“Aerial threat, loads of setpiece threats, aggressive, strong, want to bully you, go toeto-toe with you.

“We’re going to come up against another team that wants to bully us on Saturday and we’re going to have to be ready for it.”

The Town boss is pleased with what he’s seeing from his team, who are now unbeaten in seven matches.

“What the boys maybe lack in flair or quality that perhaps the bigger teams can buy in, they make up for in effort and application,” he said.

“That will get you further than a team of superstars.

“On the training ground at the moment, and in games, they’ve got the bit between their teeth, the lot of them, and you can see it.

“They’ve just got to keep going now, take it game-bygame, keep ticking them off, and see where that takes us.”

The Bromley game caps what has been a successful but gruelling few days for The Shaymen following hard-fought wins over Chorley and Dover.

“We’ll be tired, of course we will, but when you’re in good form, players just want the next game to come as quick as possible,” Wild added.

“So I’m not too worried about fatigue. I think the lads are in a good place, but that can change quickly, so it’s really important we remain grounded and chill out.

“If we all do that, we’ve got a right chance.”
