"Four wins for Wembley," striker Jake Wright jnr said, looking at what could be achieved on this run.
"We've got quality in the dressing room that can get the result we need.

Preparing for the weekend's contest, he said: "Until I'm told otherwise I'll be working towards Morpeth," he said.
"It's a great chance to get to Wembley, a big opportunity. Those opportunities don't come around often.
