I think it’s important we do that because if you take them both together, you could end up with egg on your face because you’ve not concentrated solely on one at a time.”

And Wild doesn’t believe one game is more important than the other.

“No, they’re both massively important at this stage, with seven to go, they’re both as important as each other in my eyes,” he said.

After taking seven points from a possible last nine, Wild wants his side to maintain their form.

“It’s just keep going, and don’t (focus on) the big things that you can’t control, just keep going, keep chalking up the points, keep chalking up the results, and just keep going,” he said.

“There’s no fixed outcome with seven games to go that we’re trying to achieve, it’s just to keep going, that’s my message.”

Wild added: “I think you’ve seen different sides to us across the last three games at home.

“You’ve seen a good footballing display against Wealdstone, you’ve seen a tactical display against Solihull and you’ve seen a backs-against-the-wall, defend your own box against Woking, so I think you’ve seen all three sides of us in the last seven days.

“I expect Altrincham to be a really good football match, they’re a team that has similarities to ourselves in terms of how they play and how they do things. I’m expecting a really good footy match on Friday. I think when it’s a football match, we’re at our best.”

Wild said training has gone well so far this week.

“There were a lot of tired, sore bodies after the weekend, especially after Saturday’s game, so we had them ticking over on Monday and they went and did a little bit of a team building afternoon which was great to see, off their own backs.

“And then they came in on Tuesday buzzing and the tempo in training was fantastic,” he said. “We did some tactical work based on what we thought we needed to do better from the weekend, or the last week’s games, and what we expect to face on Friday.”

Wild said Jack Senior, Aaron Martin, Jay Benn and Jamie Thomas were all back in training, but confirmed midfielder Martin Woods will be suspended for the next three games.
