BURNHAM Ramblers boss Keith Wilson is not expecting any miracles in avoiding relegation.

Ramblers, who finished bottom of Ryman League division one north, ended their season with a 2-2 draw against Wroxham.

Wilson is preparing for next season in the Essex Senior League.

And he is not expecting to be thrown a Ryman lifeline with little change expected to the structure of the non-league pyramid.

Wilson said: “You never know until you get that letter telling you where you will be next season.

“But, I don’t think we will get a reprieve, it would be a miracle if we did.

“I don’t think we deserve one after our season and if I was Bowers and Pitsea, who finished second in the senior league, then I would have some questions for the FA.

“I am planning for the senior league and I have already started that.

“I have my targets and I am planning my side for next season.

“It is going to be a busy summer.

“I am going to have to build a new team and it will be hard to bounce back straight away.

“There are good teams in the division and sides like Bowers have already had a season together.”

Drawing a line under the season, Wilson, who took over for the last few Ramblers’ games following the departure of former manager Bertie Brayley, was pleased with their final performance.

Ramblers fought back from a first half 2-0 deficit at Leslie Field after goals from Wroxham’s Steve Taylor and Jack Garrod on 37 and 43 minutes, respectively.

But a goal from Lee Pleasance on 74 minutes gave Burnham hope and Bradley Nobbs popped up with the last-minute equaliser to give the home fans something to cheer about.

Wilson said: “It was a good way to end the season.

“When we scored the equalising goal, that late on, the atmosphere was great.

“The fans and players were celebrating as if they had won the game.

“It was a good result but we should have won the game.

“Wroxham didn’t want to be there, they had nothing to play for and it was a typical end of season game.

“Apart from the eight minutes that they scored we were in control.

“But they scored two worldies and we were 2-0 down and it was ‘oh no here we go’.

“It was the first time I have seen the confidence drain out of everyone on the pitch and their heads went down.

“I had a bit of a go at them at half-time and they responded.

“I couldn’t have asked more from them in the second half and they got what they deserved.”
