Town are on the brink of their highest league finish for some time, sitting one place below the final play-off place with four games remaining.

But Ridley wants his team to finish strongly, beginning with Saturday’s trip to Ramsbottom’s Harry Williams Riverside Stadium.

He said: “They will want to try and beat us and try to stop us making the play-offs as we would do the same.

“But if we play like we know we can, we can beat any team in this league, as we have shown this season.

“Other teams, players and fans have been writing us off all season so now this is where we prove them all wrong with the last remaining games.”
