Bulls manager Jamie Pitman was delighted with his team’s performance after their hard-fought 1-0 win away at Wycombe Wanderers earned them a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Mathieu Manset’s effort from a well-worked set-piece after 32 minutes settled the contest. It was the Bulls second FA Cup success in four days and their first ever away win against the Chairboys – avenging the league defeat at the same venue just 16 days earlier on Boxing Day when they lost 2-1.
Pitman praised the performance from his team. He told BBC Hereford and Worcester: “It was an excellent win against a good Wycombe side, who put us under a lot of pressure. “We defended well and had some early chances that we didn’t take, which we have done in recent weeks. “Full credit to all the players, including those on the bench who worked very hard to keep a clean sheet.”
The Bulls now face Alan Irvine’s Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in the next round, a team some 42 places above them in the League ladder (Wednesday are seventh in League One). However, Pitman’s men have re-discovered their form and will be hungry for another cup upset.
