Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth has stated that his side has a ‘never give up’ attitude following their 1-1 draw away at Wimbledon.
Adebayo Akinfenwa came off the bench to head in a Sullay Kaikai cross with 10 minutes remaining, as the Chairboys made it 10 league games without defeat.
The point means they stay in the play-off places with two matches of the season left, and the boss believes that the fight for getting into the top six will go down to the final day.

Speaking after the draw at Plough Lane on Easter Monday, the boss said: “We never give up.
“There is always something to play for at Wycombe Wanderers and I think there have only been two seasons in the 10 that I’ve been here that we’ve had nothing to play for [on the final day].
“And against Stevenage in 2018, that was a celebration as we had been promoted the week before.
44 down. Two to go. And hopefully three more after that.

“I think that says this club is always in it and I love being the manager of this club.
“I’m so happy here and days like today when you’ve got the fans singing the player’s names and give me something was brilliant.
