Need to get the big moments right - Wycombe's Duff

Wycombe Wanderers head coach Michael Duff says they have to get "the big moments" right after a run of one win in 11 matches away from home.

Apart from three points at Northampton on 17 January, the chairboys have taken just another six from a possible 33 on the road.

In contrast, Duff's side have won 10 of his 15 matches at Adams Park since he replaced Mike Dodds in September, meaning they are sitting 10th, just five points off the top six.

He told BBC Three Counties Radio: "One positive is the away performances have been better, and we're getting ourselves into winning positions. Now it's just the big moments.

"Reading - it's the best we've been home or away this season - and we still found a way to lose. The 95th minute at Plymouth, the 92nd minute the other night (at Exeter).

"We were dominant at Mansfield and we draw. We've drawn too many away from home (eight). That's part of the problem."

Duff added: "We've thrown five points away in the past two games and we're five points off the play-offs. We have to address it at some point. It's not like we're burying our head in the sand."

Wycombe finished fifth last season before losing to Charlton Athletic in the play-off semi-finals.

They have 14 matches left to make up that five point gap, with seven at home and seven away.

Duff said: "We've got five of the top six away from home which is a good thing really, because it means we can we can close the gaps.

"But that's further down the line, we've got a tough game at home beforehand."

Saturday's visitors - Stevenage - are four points above Wycombe in seventh following two successive wins, and Duff knows his team will face a physical test:

"They have a direct style, powerful players, really good at what they do. I know Alex (Revell) quite well. He's unapologetic in the way he gets his team to play.

"He says 'what's the point of trying to out-football loads of footballing sides when its not playing to our strengths'. They're playing to their strengths.

"Absolutely zero criticism from me. I played for a Burnley team that did exactly the same thing. They're obviously doing it really well.

"I don't know where they are budget-wise - Stevenage, but they won't be top seven. They've also got some good players. I'm not labelling them with one stick".
