The P word is no longer a taboo subject for Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth after he stated that the club will be going all out to achieve promotion from League Two this season.

Having preached all season that his only target was to reach 55 points, the Blues boss has now reset his sights on League One football next campaign with the side sat on 56 points.

The Chairboys are third in the table but have suffered back-to-back defeats which has seen them fall five points behind pace-setters Shrewsbury.

Ainsworth said: “Whilst we have surprised many people this season, we strongly believed that investing time in the squad would give us the chance to unlock some great potential. The depth of commitment has resulted in a resilience that has helped turn the club around from surviving on the last day of last season to becoming genuine promotion contenders.

“By achieving League 2 security, the lads have earned the right to have a real shot at promotion. Whilst the club’s financial security is top of the agenda, risks on the playing field can now be taken.”

Wanderers are currently seven points clear of eighth place Bury, and with 15 games to go a play-off place at the very least seems attainable.

Chairman Andrew Howard said: “Gareth and his team have done an incredible job at pulling together such a close-knit and competitive group of players. The aim was always survival, but the camaraderie and passion shown by everyone means we can now realistically push on to higher things.”
