Brown is happy to fill in for manager John Gorman

Brown, along with Keith Ryan and Jim Barron, took charge of first team affairs for Saturday's win at Oxford.

And the former Wanderers stalwart told the club website: "John is the manager and always will be while I'm here.

"I enjoyed holding the reins while he's been away but I can't wait to have him back because I miss him."

Wycombe earlier announced the passing of Gorman's wife Myra after she lost her battle with cancer.

Brown spoke of his admiration for the Blues boss and insisted he still played a major role in team affairs.
