Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has shared his thoughts on his side’s 2-0 win over Doncaster Rovers.
Anthony Stewart and Adebayo Akinfenwa scored a header each in the first-half as they brushed aside League One’s basement team, to stay in the league’s top two.
The victory was also their fourth in a row and their third in the league this season.
Speaking after the victory at the Keepmoat Stadium, he said: “It was a complete performance.

“It was similar to last week as we came out of the traps as you wouldn’t believe with the system we play, and what we saw in the week, analysis-wise, with Josh Hart doing a cracking job, we saw that there were some weaknesses and we exploited them.
“This was at the expense of us being left open, but, once we went ahead, we saw the game off.
“The change of formation was always going to be a thing, as well as Bayo coming off, and we soaked up the pressure and the possession.
“Yes, the possession stats will go in Doncaster’s favour but that doesn’t worry me one bit.
“We always felt had the ability to break and score another but now, it’s about picking up the boys and getting ready for Tuesday against Rotherham.”

The boss also revealed that his side will be staying up in Yorkshire this weekend.
The Chairboys face Rotherham at the New York Stadium on Tuesday night, and the Couhigs have given Ainsworth and his side permission to stay in the north of the country, to prepare for the midweek match.

He said: “We’re staying up as we need to prepare the right way and it is the right thing to do.
“We want to be a club with Championship standards and if we can manage to get that on the pitch as well, then it’s amazing.
“With our new backers, this is something we haven’t really done before.
“All the subs as well will be so pleased and they are right behind the boys.
“And I know what it’s like, if you’re not playing, you’re feeling that you’re not contributing.
“But they are contributing as they are right in that squad and the ones that came on made a difference.
“I’ve got a real good group and I am so proud of them.”
