The Danny Wilson Interview - "We're Keeping The Players Positive!"


Saturday 2nd April 2016






With just seven games to go until the end of the 2015/16 campaign and with a visit from Port Vale next on the list this afternoon, Chesterfield gaffer Danny Wilson admitted he was 'frustrated' with the haul of points over the Easter weekend.

With just seven games to go until the end of the 2015/16 campaign and with a visit from Port Vale next on the list this afternoon, Chesterfield gaffer Danny Wilson admitted he was 'frustrated' with the haul of points over the Easter weekend.

Wilson
(above) told The Chesterfield Post, "It's not enough but we're not down and out - we're still in a strong position points-wise in terms of what we need to do. Although it will be close, I always felt that one or two wins would be set back with a couple of defeats and that's how it's been, it's not changed really. It's a similar approach to what we need to do, it's a tough game at the weekend and we need to get the three points.

"If you can keep the players mental state positive, then you've a good chance of getting the results you require."

Injury-wise news continues to be ok, "They're fine. We're looking to go into the game with a similar squad, we haven't picked up any more injuries, so the nucleus of the squad remains the same."

Dion Donahue is back from his suspension but remains a doubt as the boss admitted he had suffered a hamstring injury and is doubtful for the clash against The Valiant, "Were not too sure yet, we'll give him until the last minute on Saturday to see how he responds but I'm not too sure on that one."

Connor Dimaio, fresh from extending his contract with his hometown club, returns from international duty with the Eire U 21 squad.

On old foes Port Vale, led by former Spireite Rob Page, Wilson said, "Rob's done an excellent job and anyone watching Port Vale this season will put it down to Rob. He's had a fantastic season. It will be hard but not impossible for them to achieve a play off place.

"It's a disciplined side, a strong team that can grind results out, and have done. It's maybe not pretty all the time but it will be hard game - I'm very confident that we can create chances against teams and we have to make better efforts to score goals. It's important that we have more composure when the moment arrives."

A secure mid-table side, Port Vale may be easy to write off as safe but with just eighteen points needed for a play off push, Wilson admitted that they are not to be written off, "Who knows what can happen? I'm sure Pagey, for all his mind games, will be thinking exactly the same, the mentality of Rob and his staff will be win as many games as possible and see what happens."
