Schumacher | It Shows The Strength We’ve Got

“It’s a squad game and we’re getting goals from all areas of the pitch. We’re not just relying on a couple of people which, again, is really important. That’s what we want. My only sort of criticism from the night was that we should have had more than three. The big chances that we had in the second half, we should have been a bit more clinical with that. It could have been more but I’m always looking for more and I’m always trying to push the players.
“But it looks like they enjoyed it. When we play that way and we’re positive and people are making angles to get on the ball and they’re brave then we look like we’re a good team, so keep that going. Momentum is a good thing. Winning games of football is fun and the more you can do that, the better. It keeps us going into the next game on Saturday.”
Wanderers are straight back into cup action with an FA Cup second-round tie at League Two high-fliers Swindon Town to try and negotiate at the weekend.
Schumacher admits selecting a side won’t be easy given the resources at his disposal but is eager to extend an eight-game unbeaten run and secure a place in the third-round draw.
The head coach added: “Everyone’s desperate to play. I don’t know how I’m going to pick a starting XI from that game but we’ll figure it out. It’s a tough game and everyone will have to be ready to play in that one and try and get us in the next round of the FA Cup as well. I know I’ve got a good, strong squad and everybody’s capable of playing and tonight’s proved that.
“So we just put a team out there and a squad out there that we think can get us in the next round and win the next game. That’s what’s important because it’s a game that we want to try and progress in. Getting into the third round of the FA Cup is the goal and we want to do that.”
