Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has reflected on his side’s 2-0 home win over bottom-of-the-table Forest Green Rovers.
The Easter Monday fixture saw a Chem Campbell header, and a Charlie Savage own goal, seal the victory for the Chairboys, as they sit in eighth place on 65 points - three points off the top six with five games to go.

Today marks exactly two years since Wanderers' last red card at Adams Park.

The gap at the start of the day was at five points, but an injury-time equaliser for Cambridge United against Bolton Wanderers, coupled with Derby County’s draw against Milton Keynes, has now given Wanderers a huge chance in reaching the play-offs for the third time in four years.

“The boys have been sharp in training over the last couple of days, they had a spring in their step, they had smiles on their faces and they were great.

“I hoped they would follow up on how good they've been in training in today’s game and they did.
“We had many opportunities as Wheels had one go across the box, we went up and down the hand side hand and I thought Dave has been great in that role this season.
