Hinshelwood said: "As a manager, as fans and as players, if you can’t get excited for these kind of games, then you shouldn’t be doing it really.

Millington, whose side were unlucky to be edged out late on by both York and Rochdale recently, said: "We know we're in a good place in terms of our league form and we've just got to maintain that now and start to build a decent run of results."
