Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield said his side are ‘making baby steps’ and that they are ‘still evolving’ following their 3-1 home win over Peterborough United.

The Chairboys fell behind on 50 minutes thanks to a Ricky-Jade Jones tap-in, but after Richard Kone was brought on as a second-half substitute on the hour mark, he had bagged himself a nine-minute hat-trick.

His first two strikes came within four minutes after entering the pitch, before he scored a penalty five minutes later.

In the resulting spot-kick, Posh captain Emmanuel Fernandez was shown a second yellow card for a deliberate handball.

The result means Wanderers are now unbeaten in eight league games and have continued to score in every league outing this season.

Their last blank was in the 0-0 draw versus Derby County back in April.

When told that Wycombe had scored 20 goals in 10 games this season, Bloomfield said: “I didn’t know that.

“I try not to look at that as I focus on each game in isolation, especially after the first two games [which Wanderers lost 3-2 to both Wrexham and Birmingham City].

“We’re making baby steps in terms of the team that we want to become as we’re still evolving,  so credit to them for the work they put in.

“We didn’t have a game last Saturday, but you wouldn’t think it based on the work effort they put in training.

“They were brilliant on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the group that went to QPR were intense with their work.

“They have done everything they have asked us to do.

“Peterborough are a top team in our division and we had three very good games against them last season, so I knew that it was going to be a good game today.

“We knew that we needed to be on top and we’re pleased with the outcome.”
