Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has praised the defensive display in his side’s 2-0 away win at Accrington Stanley.

Goals from Josh Scowen and Garath McCleary settled the score at the Wham Stadium on Valentine's Day, as the Chairboys recorded their 15th league win of the season from their 30 games played.

The victory in the North West also saw Jordan Willis and Chem Campbell make their first starts in a Wycombe shirt, and Ainsworth was happy with the performance.

He said: “It was a really tough performance, but I am really pleased with how things are going at the moment.

“Jordan Willis came in and he hasn’t played in a long time, so when he was cramping up after half-time, this is normal when you haven’t played for a while but when he was called into action, he was imperious.

“He was replaced by Chris Forino who again was brilliant.

“Chris has been in and out of the team but today [February 14], you can see why I think he will go far.

“But everyone played their part and I do feel sorry for Jack Wakely, as he’s part of the squad but we have so many good players at the moment.

“He will get his turn but I am proud of how we played.

“This is a tough place to come, and I said to the boys that I was going to change the back from a four to a five at around 60 minutes as Accrington looked really dangerous.

“But again, we defended solidly, and overall, it was a great win on the road in what has been a hard place for us in recent seasons.”

Up next is Bolton Wanderers on February 18 at Adams Park.
