Green is Town’s only absentee for Weymouth

Assessing his own team at the moment, Wild said: “We’ve got a lot of strengthin-depth, we found a way to win on Saturday against a team that tried to frustrate us.

“The boys were off on Monday, it’s been a long month for them, but they were back in on Tuesday and everyone was lively.

“One thing I like to see is that everybody’s doing extras, the players who didn’t get on on Saturday were doing their running and making sure they keep up to the levels they need to be.

“Everybody’s in a good place and what I like to see is everybody looks very business-like.

“They know what they need to do, everybody’s desperate to get in the team so it’s a good place for a manager to be.

“Also a tough place for a manager to be because you’re having to disappoint people but it’s a good place for us to be in terms of everybody desperate to be in the squad and in the team.”

Wild says his message to the Town players ahead of Saturday’s game will be around imposing themselves on the contest.

“We’ve got to be us, control the football in and out of possession, we’ve got to be strong, we’ve got to be compact when we need to be, and we’ve got to not let them get into their rhythm, and if they do that, we’ve got to be strong with the football and try and break them down whenever we get the opportunity,” he said.

Wild confirmed that Kieran Green was his only absent player due to injury.

“Some of them will miss out through no fault of their own, it will just be what I need on the bench, and the people who are in the team, it’s up to them to keep the shirt.”
