We’ll be ready for Torquay, says Town boss

Continued from back

Town have bounced straight back with a win after each of their previous three defeats this season.

“We’ve got a good dressing room, we’ve got good players, we’ve got a really good squad,” said Wild. “I don’t think we’ve got anything to bounce back from, we’ve just got to keep doing what we’ve been doing. If we play like we did last night we’ll win more than we lose, and that’s how we’ve got to see it.

“Alright, we came out on the wrong end of a tight game, but we’re doing the right things. For me, it’s about looking at our process. Did we do everything we could to win the game? Yes.

“The result’s sometimes a by-product of what we want to be, but we were everything I want us to be on Tuesday. We don’t need a reaction. Some you win, some you lose in football, and unfortunately we were on the wrong end of one on Tuesday night that we didn’t deserve.”

It is the second lengthy away trip in as many weekends for Town after their 3-1 win at Dover last Saturday, but Wild is confident his side has plenty left in the tank.

“Of course we have, we’re a young, fit bunch and we’ve got loads of players ready to rock and roll,” he said. “We’ve got to go again on Saturday and I’m looking forward to it, can’t wait.”

Torquay, who lost in the play-off final last season, lost 1-0 at Aldershot on Tuesday night, leaving them 17th in the National League with just five wins from their first 16 league games.

“They’re on a bad run of form, which is tough for them, but people who are wounded are always at their best because they want to give a reaction,” Wild said.

“We’ll be ready and prepared for them on Saturday.”
