STRIKER Adie Mings wants to go into management in the future but for now is just enjoying being able to concentrate on playing football.

The 34-year-old former Gloucester City and Forest Green player became Tommy Saunders' assistant in the summer following Nobby Bush's departure to Corsham Town.

After Saunders' departure in November Mings had four matches as caretaker boss.

Now he has put his thoughts of management to one side as he looks to enjoy at least another two years on the pitch. "It was a learning curve for me and I have no problems at all going back to just being a player," he said.

"Management is something I want to do but not for another couple of years. Becoming the assistant manager and caretaker manager were surprises for me. Combining them with playing was very stressful and becoming a player-manager is not what I want to do.

"I feel I've got another couple of years of football in me."

Mings has felt particular benefit from the arrival of White, with his track recird as a goalscorer.

"Us strikers have probably benefited the most from Steve's advice," Mings added. "At the end of every training session he takes shooting practice and shows us things like how best to make space and lose defenders. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?"

Mings feels White's arrival has already had a positive affect on the training ground but admits the players need to transfer that to the pitch.

"Everything behind the scenes is going really well. We now just need to get some back to back wins on Saturdays to match that," he continued.

"I like to look at things positively. We have only lost one game in five and I feel we have turned a corner.

"We are a bottom three side at the moment but I don't think we are playing like one. We are playing football and creating for or five good chances every game."

He feels White's training methods and new signings point the way to a brighter future. He said: "We play lots of football in training now and are encouraged to play different types of games."
