THE MANAGER DARREN MOORE
Good afternoon. I would like to welcome Gareth Ainsworth as well as the supporters, players and staff of Wycombe Wanderers who have made the trip up to the Keepmoat Stadium today. Gareth’s side are having an excellent season competing at the top of the table, and I am sure will provide a tough test today.

We were frustrated to come away from Gillingham and Shrewsbury without any points. We were not at our best at Shrewsbury last week, but still created enough chances we felt we should have got at least a draw out of the game. I’ve seen a good reaction from the lads in training this week, and everyone is raring to go and ready to attack the next game. As I keep saying, we’ll take it one match at a time and see where that takes us.
We have been able to take a little breather from midweek games, and that time on the training pitch has been valuable for us in terms of fully integrating the players we brought in at the end of the transfer window. We’ve got them right up to speed in terms of the systems we play.
It was great to see so many of you here at the Keepmoat Stadium on Monday night as the U23s took on Exeter City in the Premier League Cup. Exeter are a very accomplished side at that level and included some experienced players in the side, so to come say with a point and progress from the group into the last 16 of the competition is a very positive achievement for Gary McSheffrey’s side.
I would like to wish the Dons luck as they take on Barrow Raiders here tomorrow in the first game of their Betfred League One season. Their chief executive Carl Hall has kept me up to date with their progress as they went through their pre-season and I’m hoping to be here to cheer on the boys.
Enjoy the game.
