The Bucks, who have endured a miserable season and spent months rooted to the foot of the table, were relegated on Tuesday after Farsley Celtic's victory over Brackley Town.

It means the Bucks are 18 points adrift of safety with just 15 left to play for.

The writing has been on the wall for the Bucks for some time now - but for Wilkin, who enjoyed years of success with Brackley before he attempted to save Telford, admitted confirmation of the drop doesn't make things easier.

"It's one of disappointment, it's not any easier that you're resigned it is going to happen, it doesn't become any easier," Wilkin told the Shropshire Star today.

"I'm disappointed, I have all sorts of feelings, it's not something I've ever experienced and is new to me, but we've got to try to move ourselves forward any way that takes, as the days goes on try to progress so we can be successful next season and get back to this level at the earliest opportunity."
