Wycombe Wanderers boss Matt Bloomfield has said he was ‘disappointed’ in his side’s 2-1 away defeat at Burton Albion.

First-half strikes from Dale Taylor and Joe Powell succumbed the Chairboys to their second loss in four games, whilst the Brewers have picked up five wins from their last eight.

The fixture at the Pirelli Stadium also saw Deji Oshilaja receive a red card on the stroke of half-time for a late tackle on Lewis Wing, whilst Joe Jacobson missed a second-half penalty for Wanderers.

Wycombe did pull a goal back through Tjay De Barr’s first Football League goal, but it wasn’t the Chairboys’ day in Burton.

Speaking to the press, he said: “We’re bitterly disappointed to lose the game but for the first six or seven minutes, we started off really well.

“I’m disappointed in the manner of how we conceded the goals, especially the first one as we shouldn’t have been caught that square.

“We knew that this will be a tough place to come, and we knew of the qualities that Burton have.

“However, I thought the manner in which we kept plugging away really impressed me on a tough pitch.

“It was tough in the conditions but the boys kept going at 2-0 of course, we don’t have as many positives if we were to win.

“I’ll watch the game back this evening with unemotional eyes and look at what we can do to improve.”

“It’s just disappointing that we couldn’t get anything from that but fair play to the boys as they kept trying, they had chances, they put balls into the box and we did plug away.

“We certainly should have got something out of the game based on how many chances we had.”

The 39-year-old also refused to blame the state of the Pirelli pitch for the loss.

The fixture was in doubt due to the freezing temperatures in Burton, however, the turf looked very heavy which the manager noted.

He continued: "We tried to play as best as we possibly can, but I'm not going to start making excuses as the pitch is the same for both teams.

"We came knowing what to expect and knowing what we had to do.

"We prepared as best as we possibly can."

Wycombe remain in seventh place, six points off the top six.
