Manager Paul Cox insists that those players currently watching from the sidelines still have a major role to play this term.
Our boss was speaking ahead of tonightās reserve team match against Rotherham United at One Call Stadium, which begins at 7.00pm.
āIāve probably spent more time with the players who havenāt played, than those who have played recently,ā said Cox.
āIāve got players such as Junior Daniel, Lindon Meikle, Louis Briscoe, Ross Dyer, Jake Speight and others, who are all āchomping at the bitā to try and get in the side.
āItās hard sometimes because they have to be patient, but something will give at some point, whether itās a loss of form, an injury or a suspension.
āThatās when somebody has to come in and grab their opportunity.ā
He continued: āThere has been interest shown in our players over the past week; the players have been notified, but theyāve told me they want to play for this football club.
āOur dressing room at the minute is quite infectious. Going down to Newport last Friday, our team spirit was excellent and that can āmove mountainsā.
āI thought it epitomised our mindset at the minute that (Martin Riley), even though he was a little bit incoherent when he received treatment (at Newport), wanted to carry on.
āThe players are working hard and theyāre starting to believe in themselves. Weāve tweaked a few things, but not done too much differently.
āI think League Two gives you a little bit more time to play football, but other than that there isnāt a great deal of difference."
Our boss also had praise for striker Jake Speight, whom has impressed him during the past week.Ā
āThe last seven to 10 days is the best that Iāve seen Jake, in terms of mindset and his mentality,ā said Cox.
āWhat Iāve said to him is āGet your head down and get in our first teamā. I want as many good players in my squad as possible.Ā
āIn the behind closed doors match against Notts County, he looked very sharp, but more importantly, it is the best Iāve seen him since he signed for the club.ā
