The Glovers beat Town home and away last season but are yet to win in the league this term, having drawn with King’s Lynn and Wealdstone and lost to Wrexham.

“We know what’s coming from Yeovil,” said Wild. “They’re big, strong, organised, good on set-pieces.

“They’ll try to be aggressive against us and try to frustrate us, hassle and harry us.

“But we’ve just got to keep doing what we’re doing.

“The more I look at it, the more we have to keep to our performance-model and how we do things, because it’s working.

“I keep saying to the players ‘it’s working, so why would we change?’”

Wild says Matty Stenson is on track with his recovery from a hamstring injury, and that other injured players Reuben Noble-Lazarus and Jake Hyde are not expected to be available tomorrow.

“Reuben’s back out running and he’ll come back with the group this week,” said Wild.

“Hydey has had the injection in his back and will have his boots on Monday morning, providing there’s no reaction.

“Yeovil will be too early for him, but I’m hopeful, as I’m sure he is, that he’ll return for Woking on Saturday.

“But we’re getting back up to that 21 man squad now.”

When asked if there would be some tired legs in his squad after a tough first week of the season, Wild said: “Yeah about 16 of them!

“There will be, of course there will, but we’re fitter, we’re stronger, we’re more prepared this year.

“We’re a full-time club now, we’ll be ready to go again”
