Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has admitted that the coach home from Wigan on Tuesday ‘was quiet’, but insists things will improve.

A 120th-minute goal from Charlie Hughes in their fixture against the Latics on Tuesday succumbed the Adams Park side to a 1-0 loss, as they conceded their ninth injury-time goal this season.

It was also their fourth since New Year’s Day.

It means Wycombe have now only picked up one victory in their last 16 league outings since October, but Bloomfield wants to look at the positives.

He told the Free Press: “The bus was quiet when we left Wigan but we’re picking ourselves up.

“We were in training today [January 25] and everyone’s fine.

“The boys know that a lot of the performances recently have been very good and if we can focus on that, and cut out the late goals, then we know we’re not too far away.

“We can only focus on the things that we can affect and going into Saturday, we need to make sure that our performance levels are high.

“That can help us.

“If we focus too much on the negatives, then we’ll forget about the things which we’re good at that can help us.

“There has to be an allowance and understanding as we know we can be better, but we need to keep on doing the things we’re doing well recently.

“We’ve seen recently that a lot of the games have been in our favour, so we know that we’re heading in the right direction.

“I understand that it’s frustrating for people to here, but we get judged on the final score.

“We’re doing a lot of stuff that’s helping us go in the right direction and we need to be positive about that and that’s with our performance levels.”

Up next for Wycombe is a home match against Fleetwood Town who are currently rooted to the bottom of the League One table.

The Cod Army recently appointed ex-Liverpool, Blackpool and Stoke City man Charlie Adam as their new manager.

He is their third boss of the season following the stints of Scott Brown and Lee Johnson, but Adam has found life tough in the dugout so far, as he has lost all four games in charge since being handed the role on New Year's Eve.

It's the Scotsman's first managerial role.

He was previously the loan manager at Premier League Burnley.

Bloomfield added: “[The late defeats] are tough to take because, without those late goals, our season would look a lot different.

"At the moment, these late goals are having a big impact on our season.

"If we can correct the last few moments of the game, then we’ll have a big opportunity to improve.

"We are playing well, but need to address the late goals as soon as we can.

"We know we've got a tough game against Fleetwood on Saturday, so we need to be ready."

Wanderers currently sit 17th in the table.
