Wycombe Wanderers Manager Bloomfield shared his thoughts on the team’s recent 1-0 victory against Wigan Athletic, describing it as a display of ‘old school Wycombe’ football. The Chairboys secured their first-ever away win against the Latics, with Joe Low’s 11th-minute header sealing the victory and keeping them at the top of the League One table.
This win extends Wycombe’s unbeaten streak to 12 league games, with the team scoring in every league match since April. They are now two points ahead of Birmingham City, who drew 1-1 against Northampton Town.
Reflecting on the match, Bloomfield praised Wigan’s performance, acknowledging the tough challenge they presented. He highlighted the team’s need for patience and adaptation, especially compared to their previous game against Stockport County.
While Bloomfield noted areas for improvement in possession, he emphasized the team’s strong desire and unity that contributed to their success. He mentioned receiving a message from veteran striker Bayo Akinfenwa, who remarked on the team’s resilient and determined performance reminiscent of traditional Wycombe style.
The manager commended the players for showcasing the grit and determination instilled by their former coach, expressing satisfaction in seeing the ‘Wycombe spirit’ alive and well in the current squad. With six consecutive league wins under their belt, Wycombe looks to maintain their momentum as they prepare to face Crawley Town in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night.
This victory not only solidifies Wycombe’s position at the top of the league but also demonstrates their ability to overcome challenges and preserve the club’s unique identity on the field. As they continue their impressive run, fans can look forward to more displays of tenacity and team spirit from the Chairboys in the upcoming matches.
