Tom Talks | Before the Ramsbottom game

Spartans' manager Tom Wade is looking forward to Saturday's clash with Ramsbottom at Croft Park.

"It's another big game for us. Although they are at the bottom of the league there's no chance that we'll underestimate our task. They've signed some new players recently so they could be on the up. I know what it's like to be propping up a league. I've been there as a manager in the past; you develop a siege mentality which can work to your benefit.

"We'll have some lads missing through injury. Damen Mullen probably won't be back till the away trip to Rushall, when I'm hoping to have full squad available, and Wadey [Matthew Wade] is doubtful.

"On a positive note Alex Nicholson and Andrew Cartwright should come back into contention on Saturday, which would be a massive boost for us."
