WYCOMBE Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has urged supporters to stick with his side into the New Year.

In a Christmas message to fans, the Blues boss said: "Thank you for the support this year. It's been a real rollercoaster.

"Everyone's got to look at the season and stand back and look at the big picture, not the smaller picture. Where we are is quite similar to last year but the mood's a little bit different. Last year we were at the bottom and flying up the table. This year we've pitched around where we perhaps should be.

"We've got a chance to push on here. People have got to be positive - if we keep improving year on year, one day we will finish in that top seven. Keep with me and hopefully we can keep improving year on year, and you can play a big part in that. Merry Christmas to everyone."
