It’s been a solid start to Wanderers’ campaign with three wins out of three in all competitions as they prepare to host Fleetwood Town at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Tuesday night.
Buoyed by a convincing win on the road at Cheltenham on Saturday, Ian Evatt’s men will certainly not be letting complacency slip in as they aim for a second home league win.
Fleetwood stand in Wanderers’ way on Tuesday night as the Whites aim to score maximum points under the lights in Sky Bet League One action.
Manager quotes
Ian Evatt:
“We’re in good spirits. We don’t need or want any distractions or sideshows.
“All we need is laser focus on the next challenge and the next opportunity and that’s tonight. We know we’re going to have to probably step up again on our performances so far.
“Fleetwood are a dangerous team with a lot of power and athleticism. We know that they’re wounded from the weekend and the start of the season. They’ve not had the best results, but the performances have probably warranted more than that.”
Fleetwood Manager Scott Brown (speaking after Saturday’s defeat):
“For us, we all take it on the chin we’ll all take responsibility. When it’s a good performance we’ll all take credit for it, but when it’s a poor performance we’ve all got to accept responsibility.
We need to learn from that and take full responsibility from today. You have to have that desire, and you have to have that work rate to make sure that you outrun your opponent and sometimes it's as simple as that.”
