Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth believes that securing a play-off place is in his side’s hands.
The Chairboys sat top of the League One table on the middle if January but after only picking up three points from the next 21, they dropped out of the league’s top six places.
They have since recovered and have accumulated 17 points from the last 21.

And even though they still have to play Plymouth Argyle and Sheffield Wednesday at home who sit above Wanderers in the table, Ainsworth firmly believes Wycombe are in charge of their own destiny.
The boss also revealed that despite the top of League One being incredibly tight, his players are not checking any of the scores during half-time breaks.
He said: “There’s no during the game or half-time shouts or anything like that.

“We’re totally focused on our job.
“It’s in our hands.
When it comes to relaying on other results, then something has gone wrong with us, but we’re all human beings as we all look at other results and what potentially could happen.
“There are five games to go and I’m sure if we win all five, we will be in the play-offs and that’s the aim.”
