"They need the game" said Wilkinson, whose side is preparing for a Tuesday night trip to Adams Park to tackle Wycombe Wanderers for a place in the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup final on Monday, May 7.
"We're training hard for it and we want to win," he added. "We know that whatever side they put out, they are full-time and will be fitter and sharper than us."
