Adam Wilde today admitted his short Terras career so far has been a nightmare.

The winger has missed Weymouth's dismal start to the Nationwide South season after suffering a groin injury on his debut.

The former Worcester City star is set to undergo a scan later this week to discover how serious the setback is.

And Wilde admits he has cursed his luck since making the big money switch from St George's Lane over the summer.

He told Echosport: "I'm due to have a scan on the injury this week and we'll find out the extent of the injury after that.

"I've been having treatment with our physio Roger Hoare who has been working really hard to find out what the problem is.

"The treatment has involved having a few ultrasounds which has broken the injury down a bit.

"That has helped but hopefully the scan this week will find what the problem is and we can get on with the treatment.

"Until that happens there is no knowing just how bad the injury is but I'm keeping my fingers crossed it won't be too bad."

Wilde suffered the injury in a friendly at home to AFC Bournemouth in July.

Since then the midfielder has not kicked a ball in anger and Wilde is getting frustrated.

"To be honest, the start of my Weymouth career has been a real nightmare," he said.

"To suffer the injury in my very first game could not have come at a worst time.

"I was eager to impress and show people what I can do and try and force myself into the manager's plans for the season.

"Now I'm obviously going to be behind the other lads in terms of fitness and also match practise.

"Last season I played 42 games for Worcester, yet I get injured in my very first game for my new club.

"What has made it even worse is the fact I've had to watch from the sidelines over the opening three games and I think it's fair to say we have not performed to our potential.

"I'm desperate to get out there and try and turn things around for us.

"One of the things that's frustrated me is that people have said we have not had enough width in the side in the first few games and that is my big strength.

"I love staying out wide and attacking people and hope-fully it won't be too long before I can do that.

"As a team, we've had a dodgy start but it's still early days and I'm sure we'll soon hit top form once we click.

"When we do that, I'm sure not many teams will be able to cope with us but we have to hit top form sooner rather than later."

The Cambridge-based hairdresser says despite his injury setback, he has enjoyed his time at the Wessex Stadium so far.

"When I joined I was a little bit apprehensive over the travelling involved, especially when I was late for our first training session.

"It took me six hours to get down from Cambridge and it wasn't the greatest journey in the world.

"But my dad lives in Southampton and I've been staying with him quite a bit since, which has eased the journeys quite a bit and means it hasn't been too bad."
