Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth insists his side’s promotion to the Sky Bet Championship would rank as one of football’s great fairytales as they prepare for their League One play-off semi-final against Fleetwood. Ainsworth says his Chairboys squad have already confounded expectations after being elevated to third in the revised final table via the points-per-game rule, having initially sat outside the play-off places when the season was curtailed. Ainsworth said: “It will be as big an achievement as you’ve seen in football for a team like Wycombe to be competing in the Championship next year. It would just be unbelievable, and it’s possible, which is magnificent, and it shows how well the players have done this season. Ainsworth added: “I’ve put total trust in my sports science and medical teams for the physical side, and my side is about the tactics and the mental approach.
