YORK City boss Russ Wilcox will keep faith with his all-or-nothing approach to winning Sky Bet League Two points at Bootham Crescent.

The Minstermen face a third successive home contest tomorrow night when Yeovil are the visitors.

Wilcox's men have conceded two goals in each of their opening two fixtures on their own soil - beating Capital One Cup hosts Bradford City on penalties in the first, before going down 2-1 to Hartlepool in the second.

But the City chief is in no mood for more reserved tactics against a Yeovil team also searching for their first point of the new campaign.

He said: “The disappointing aspect to the start of our season has been the number of goals we've conceded. We are getting punished for small errors and need to eradicate them to win football matches but, sometimes, you need to gamble one point for three.

“At 1-1 on Saturday, I wanted to win because I think that's the way forward at home. We had 19 draws last season and that's too many.

“We want to create chances and turn those draws into wins. You won't do that every time but, if we gamble enough, I think we will accumulate enough points to be in a far better position than last season.”

Having forced saves within the first 90 seconds against both Bradford and Hartlepool, Wilcox is also looking for his team to be quick out of the traps once more against Yeovil, adding: “I think the first ten minutes of games are hugely important because, if you get on the front foot from the kick-off, the crowd get behind you, as they have done against Bradford and Hartlepool.

“We've just got to put teams to the sword and convert the opportunities we're creating.”

Wilcox reasoned, meanwhile, that now might be an opportune period to face an injury-struck Yeovil team, who will travel 280 miles for the game and might still be suffering a hangover from two relegations in as many seasons.

“It's an important game,” he admitted. “Both teams are on no points and Yeovil are struggling with injuries.

“Back-to-back relegations from the Championship must be tough to take, especially with the impact on finances. It's a big drop and the manager is still trying to put his mark on things having come in late last season so, hopefully, we can hit them at a good time.”

As regards his own new-look team, the City boss is hoping for continued signs of evolution, saying: “Although Saturday was a disappointing result, I'm still excited moving forward as I think we are developing as a team.

“We had six summer signings against Hartlepool and that takes time to gel as a team but we've got better each game.”

Luke Summerfield, who was limping after the weekend’s match, is expected to recover for the Glovers test, meaning the same starting XI will line up for a fourth consecutive fixture with Wilcox declaring: “Everybody should be fine and ready to go.

“The other lads who aren't in the team are working hard and staying focussed. They all want to start but, even though I could make changes because we've let seven goals in during three games, it's difficult because I've seen signs in the performances that will take us forward.”

With striker Vadaine Oliver still waiting for his first goal in nine appearances for City – including six in pre-season – Wilcox insisted that it was too early to tell whether the former Crewe target-man will be a regular on the scoresheet or others will benefit from his aerial ability.

“The biggest thing for Vadaine is he's getting chances,” the City manager pointed out. “He had five attempts at goal against Yeovil and the keeper made a couple of good saves from him.

“Strikers get judged on goals but there are different types. (Ex-City coach) Steve Torpey had a similar problem at Scunthorpe, but everyone who played up front with him got 20 goals.

“Martin Carruthers and Steve MacLean both did and Vadaine might be the same, but we're also putting a lot of work into getting the ball into the penalty box for him.”

The ticket prices for City’s Capital One Cup trip to Premier League Swansea next Tuesday have been confirmed as £12 for adults, £7 for concessions and £2 for children if bought in advance.

They will be on sale at tomorrow night’s game and each ticket’s cost will go up by £3 if paid for on the day.
