When Wycombe Wanderers kicked off their first league game of November they sat 21st in the League Two standings.

Come the final whistle of their final game of the month, they are now sixth in the table, unbeaten in five games and have picked up maximum points from their last four outings.

After their season stuttered and threatened to ignite without actually doing so, Ainsworth has finally managed to utilise a fully-fit squad to turn the Chairboys into potential promotion contenders.

Comfortable home wins against Morecambe and Hartlepool United book-ended Wanderers’ first two away league wins since February at Cambridge United and then Newport County.

Last season they had a resolute defence, but struggled at the other end, but in November 2016, they’ve continued to be stingy at the back (just one goal was conceded), but have found the back of the net far with relative ease.

Ainsworth’s 2015 play-off finalists are finally up and running.
