My Fleet Players Are A Very Special Group Beams Proud Garry

The former Woking, Dagenham, Weymouth and Rushden boss, 59, has seen his side move to within two points of the play-off places.

Hill says Saturday’s fantastic 4-2 win over Wrexham was a highlight and against a backdrop of uncertainty every victory is tasting even sweeter.

The manager has now won 41 points since taking over in November.

“They’re a special group, there’s no doubt about that - very special,” he said.

“They have got to be up there with the best I’ve worked with. They’re different class.

“They are one of the best I have worked with and character is carrying them through at the moment.”

He added: “To be where we are and within a few points of the play-offs is an achievement in itself.

“Now we’ve got to see how far this can take us. There’s no pressure on them to get results and I think maybe we’re seeing that in the performances.

“They don’t want to give up, they want to keep fighting and I cannot speak highly enough of every single one of them.

“They are a close-knit group who hopefully will just keep getting stronger.”
