I need to work like everybody else so I'll try my best to get another club Paul Lambert

Meanwhile ex-Wycombe manager Paul Lambert has said he will be looking for a new management job.

He told BBC Three Counties Radio: "I'm going to go for another job, I need to work like everybody else so I'll try my best to get another club.

"The expectancy at Wycombe's really high which is really great because people expect you to win which is a really great pressure to have.

"But there's one or two things that never sat right with me for a few months."
