The Wales head coach has urged her players to stay focused solely on their own performances following their convincing 4-0 victory over Albania in Wrexham.
It was a result that briefly lifted Wales to the top of their qualifying group before results elsewhere saw them edged into second place behind the Czech Republic.
Despite the tight standings, Wilkinson made it clear that outside factors will not shape her team’s approach.

"We play them (the Czech Republic) in the last game of our group stage. We know that," Wilkinson said.
"It's not about their scores, it's making sure we take care of our own business.
"When you force things, that's not how good football occurs. So we take care of our own business and [Czech Republic] will mind their own."
On the pitch, Wales delivered the kind of controlled and dominant performance their head coach wants to see repeated.

Hannah Cain set the tone early, finishing neatly at the far post after connecting with Mared Griffiths’ low cross.
The lead was doubled when Albania goalkeeper Rajmonda Spahiu spilled Cain’s delivery straight to Elise Hughes, who made no mistake from close range.
Wales continued to assert themselves after the break, with Griffiths again involved as her cross was headed home by Rhiannon Roberts, before Cain added her second of the night with a clinical finish from Lily Woodham’s delivery.

It was a display built on attacking fluency and defensive discipline, with Wilkinson particularly pleased to see her side maintain intensity throughout and secure a long-awaited clean sheet.
"I really appreciated the players' effort at keeping that consistent high level through the 90-plus minutes, always pushing, always staying focused," she said.
"[It was] a performance for a full 90 that any coach would be pleased with."
The result continues a strong start to the campaign, following a draw away to the Czech Republic and a comprehensive win over Montenegro.
Wales now head into the return fixture against Albania and a trip to Montenegro knowing that maximum points will keep them firmly in contention ahead of a potentially decisive final group match.
But Wilkinson is wary of looking too far ahead, even with the likelihood that the race for top spot could come down to that final encounter.
"I mean, it's how it's tracking, but equally I think Montenegro and Albania will want to have something to say about that.
"So we take care of the game in front of us and they take care of theirs and then you'll see where we end up in the last game of the group stage."
With no automatic qualification available from their league, finishing top remains crucial in securing a more favourable play-off route later this year.
