Gareth Ainsworth top bloke hope Wycombe follow Stanley up
Quote:
Gareth Ainsworth said his players were punished for a below par performance by a top quality Accrington side at Adams Park on Saturday afternoon.
The league leaders moved a step closer to the title with a comprehensive 0-4 win over the Chairboys and added another twist to the race for the final automatic promotion spot.
Despite the defeat, results elsewhere mean that Wanderers remain in third and know that two wins will see them promoted.
Although Ainsworth felt that although luck didn’t perhaps deserve to be on their side this afternoon, he is confident that a big team effort can see Wanderers over the line.
“Lady Luck is smiling on us today because we didn’t deserve any fortune as we didn’t work hard enough,” he said speaking after the game.
“The boys are devastated in there, but all I will say is that Accrington are worthy champions of this league.
“There hasn’t been another team in this league that has come here and done what they did and that is why they will be champions.
“They were outstanding; the way they closed, the way they took their chances and defended resiliently, and we were below par today so that combination has ended up as a 0-4 defeat.
