Nuneaton travel to Edgar Street on Saturday having lost assistant boss Micky Moore to Mansfield.
Moore left the Boro last weekend after 18 months as Kevin Wilkin's no.2, and told the Nuneaton News that the club will struggle to hold onto Wilkin and their crop of young players.
“The manager is working miracles there. He is doing a phenomenal job. When I came in we had just been promoted and now they are the highest placed part time club in the country on a shoestring budget.
“Nuneaton are flourishing. I don’t think it will be long before clubs start to notice the job he is doing under big restraints. You’ve got to be realistic. Nuneaton Town are not set up to be a top Conference club.
“It will get harder and harder to pull rabbits out the hat. We managed to get Theo Streete, Amari’i Bell and Louis Moult in the summer - all top signings.
"When you stop being able to get these players the club will struggle."
