Two good performances with the manager getting to see just about every member of the squad has left a selection poser for the weekend visit of Barrow – a game which every player wants to be involved with.
“What we’ve got now is competition for places, and if you haven’t got that you’ve got no chance,” he insisted. “It’s giving me headaches, but they’re nice headaches.
“I want people showing me that they want to play for the club and that they want to be in the team for Saturday. That can only make us better.
“I can only pick 11 players but at the moment I know that the subs, if they come on, will have an impact as well.
“Any manager would tell you that you need that in your group. You want them all to be staking their claim.
“Hopefully we have no new injuries, a few tired legs, but there should be a full squad for Saturday’s game.
“I’ve got some tough decisions. It’s a great game I think, because it’ll be a good atmosphere, good crowd, a bit of a local derby, even though it’s an hour-and-a-half away or whatever it is, but it will be a good test for us.”
