"We're always trying to bring better players into the group," Wilder said. "I looked at last season and we have to improve in that area, we have to be more clinical and bring in more competition at the top of the pitch. We can't just go with two right the way through. We've had to work hard to identify players but the players don't need a 'boost'.
