Wycombe Coach Bloomfield Emphasizes Future Focus Over Past Achievements

Matt Bloomfield, who took over as head coach of Wycombe in February 2023, succeeding the long-serving Gareth Ainsworth, has stated that his table-topping Wycombe Wanderers team is not “living off” its current League One achievements. He also declared their impressive unbeaten streak to be “irrelevant.” The Chairboys secured a point at Exeter on Tuesday, recovering from a 2-0 deficit, which allowed them to maintain their top position, two points ahead of Wrexham. Wycombe had entered the match on an 11-game winning run and appeared to be heading for their first defeat since late September until goals from Joe Low and Cam Humphreys leveled the score. While the draw concluded their winning sequence, it extended the club’s unbeaten record to 15 matches. “You’ve got to respect a point, especially on the road against good opposition and being two-nil down,” Bloomfield communicated to BBC Three Counties Radio. “But I really believed we could go on and win the game.” “The boys believe in what they’re doing and it’s all about their work. It’s heartening to see their character.” “I’m really proud of them, the way they keep doing that.” Wrexham’s victory over Barnsley on Tuesday ensured they remained close behind Wycombe, meaning any misstep by Bloomfield’s squad against sixth-placed Reading on Saturday could result in them losing their top spot. The Wycombe boss is well aware of this situation, asserting that his team will not dwell on their accomplishments thus far. “This game waits for no-one. It’s a lovely stat [15 games unbeaten] but it means nothing to us because we’ve got another big game on Saturday,” he remarked. “You can never live off what’s been and gone. The minute the game’s over, there’s the next one to look forward to – we’re hungry for more work. ” “We want to continue the unbeaten run but it’s irrelevant. It’s a single game on Saturday that we have to go after in the same way we’ve done all the others.”
