Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield admitted it was ‘tough to read’ the online comments about him following the club’s poor run of form 12 months ago.

The club legend was under fire by a large proportion of Chairboys supporters in December 2023 as the Adams Park side endured a winless league run that lasted 12 games.

The drop in from between October to the end of the year saw Wycombe go from just outside the play-offs to flirting with the relegation zone.

Two notorious fixtures from this spell were away at Exeter City on December 26 and Leyton Orient on December 29 respectively, which ended 1-0 to the Grecians, with the latter finishing 0-0.

Numerous fans demanded that Bloomfield leave the club in several online posts, but fast forward 12 months later, Wycombe have picked up the most points out of any team in League One.

Wanderers have accumulated 87 points from their 45 matches this year, losing just 12 of their 58 games in all competitions in 2024.

Speaking after the 2-1 loss at Charlton Athletic on December 29, Bloomfield said: “I want to enjoy watching us with the football we’re playing and enjoy wins.

“We have to keep being hungry, evolving and moving forward.”

“To get 87 points in 45 games is some return considering where we started, and I was sent a couple of screenshots yesterday of what was going around last year.

"It was tough to read.”

When asked if the negative comments drive him on, he added: “It doesn’t drive me on, as I drive myself on.

“Getting up and leaving the family home [in Felixstowe] at 4.30am and providing for my girls drives me to be successful and be the best I can be.

“That’s what drives me but I want to make our fans proud.

“I have spent 21 years and a bit of my life at this football club, and I want everyone to be proud of what we are doing and be proud of their team.”
