We’re finding ways to win, says Town boss Wild

“We’re finding ways to win, whether that’s being us, whether that’s defending resolutely, whether that’s grinding out results when you go behind, we’re finding ways to win, and I think that’s an excellent trait, especially at this time of the season.”

Wild added: “It’s the wins we’re putting together that help, especially at home, but I also think it’s the 14 clean sheets.

“I said to the players in the dressing room on Tuesday we’re doing well because we’ve kept 14 clean sheets this year, and we’re managing football matches a lot better than we did in previous years.

“That’s what pleases me more than anything, and we’ve just got to keep going.”

On-loan striker Aaron Martin, who has missed the last three games, Wild said: “Aaron’s back, building up his running. He’s not feeling 100 per cent at the moment, struggling to get out of first gear. So we’re protecting him health-wise, the doctor’s asked us to build his running back up and see if we can steadily build him back up to where he needs to be.”

On midfielder Kieran Green’s recovery from injury, Wild said: “Kieran was out running on Tuesday night, he’s going to join in the opposed stuff on Thursday and Friday, and then hopefully he’ll have another full week’s training next week and we’ll see where he is at the end of next week.”

And on forward Jamie Allen, who limped off on Tuesday night, Wild said: “Jamie got a knock behind the knee, we don’t think it’s serious but with knees and quick players, we don’t want to be risking anything. So we’ll assess him Thursday morning and see where we’re up to.”
