Gareth Ainsworth has shared his thoughts on his side’s 2-2 draw with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
Two second-half goals from Admiral Muskwe and Garath McCleary looked like they had given the Chairboys all three points in their battle to avoid the drop.
However, a Jamal Lowe penalty and a Liam Cullen header rescued a point for the Swans.
Gareth Ainsworth: “If the worst were to happen, I’m so excited to tackle League One again with the best squad I’ve ever had, but we can still try and get 46 points. It’s not over yet.”

If Wycombe had won, they would have been on 36 points – they are instead on 34 and are nine points from safety with four games to go.
Speaking after the game, Ainsworth said: “The frustration you have goes when you have the pride of a club like Wycombe Wanderers.
“Doing what we have done today, I thought we were fantastic.
“I thought we played some great football, probably scored the better goals but unfortunately, we didn’t get a penalty like they did.
"For them, it was a penalty as Jason McCarthy slipped [and handballed it] and that gave them the foot in the door to get back in the game.

“I am amazingly proud of my boys because to come to a place like the Liberty Stadium and do what we have done to a team like Swansea I think is fantastic.
“They were one of the pre-season favourites to go and rightly so, and Steve Cooper is one of the most respected managers in this league.
“I think he is a great guy.
“He is like his dad – just a humble guy and I wish them all the best.
“But I am gutted we didn’t beat them.
