YORK CITY boss Gary Mills says his players have proven they are “good again” with back-to-back victories over Macclesfield Town and Braintree Town.
The Minstermen, through to the FA Trophy final, recovered from last weekend’s tough defeat at play-off chasing Dagenham & Redbridge.
They won 3-1 at Macclesfield in midweek before comfortably seeing off relegation rivals Braintree Town 3-0 on Saturday.
York’s much improved recent form has boosted their hopes of survival and they could finally climb out of the relegation zone if they win their game in hand at home to Bromley on Tuesday night.
Mills believes his players have proven they are good enough to stay up after the club secured their first consecutive league victories since beating Notts County and Exeter in League Two back in February 2016.
“We showed we were good again, as individuals and as a team, with this result and performance,” Mills, the former Gateshead and Wrexham boss, told John Featherstone.
“There is confidence and belief about the players and they are working their socks off.
“It took a bit of quality from Jon to get us going, because they had started better than us, but quality and goals change games. After a difficult game at Dagenham, which we didn’t deserve to lose, we’ve bounced back with two wins and it was very important to do that.
“It was nice to be 3-0 up going into injury-time, because that doesn’t happen a lot, but it was also important to keep the clean sheet, which we did.”
