Steven Schumacher praised his side’s resilience as they completed an unbeaten Easter programme to stay well placed in the play-off race.
Wanderers slipped a place to fourth in the League One table but hit back to earn a point from a 2-2 draw with Stockport County on the back of a Good Friday win at Plymouth Argyle.
The results maintained the status quo with two of the Whites’ potential top-six rivals as Schumacher’s men stayed seven points and several goals clear of the chasing pack.
“It’s been a massive effort over the last two games,” said the Whites’ boss. “Going down to Plymouth, going down to 10 men for 45 minutes of that game, having to deal with the travel and then to put the energy in like they have today and to keep going and look as strong as we did in the last 10 minutes is really pleasing.
“I’ve said all season how fit this group is and how they never give in. With the crowd behind us as well, and I thought the crowd played a good part today, we maybe could have nicked it.
“Especially against good opposition, two teams who are going for the play-offs as well, four points is a decent return. It's another draw, which we've said already that we've had too many of them this season, but I think a point today is probably a fair result.
“I thought it was a close game, two really good teams going at it who both tried to win it. We were disappointed, having gone ahead, to concede goals either side of half-time the way we did.
“I thought we could have done better for the goals against, but we kept plugging away and in the end could have won it. We were unlucky from the corner when Chris Forino’s header hit the crossbar. If that goes in then we're all made up now, but we have to take a point and move on.”
Johnny Kenny’s superbly-taken first home goal had put Wanderers in front but a late first-half lapse and a second Stockport goal early in the second half left the Whites chasing the game.
They were helped by Schumacher’s changes from the bench, with fit-again winger Amario Cozier-Duberry making a timely return after 12 games out through injury and Ruben Rodrigues one of the catalysts of the comeback which saw Ben Osborn score an own-goal to level the scores 11 minutes from the end.
“It would have been easy at that point for our heads to drop but I thought we kept going,” Schumacher added. “I thought the lads who came off the bench around the 70-minute mark gave everybody a little bit of a lift as well and we deserved our equaliser.
“Ruben and Mason did well and Thierry had an impact for us and I was really pleased to get a Mario on the pitch as well. It was a last-minute decision yesterday to put him on the bench. We thought we'd try and get him 15 minutes if we could and he ended up getting on for about 20.
“It'll take him a bit of time, obviously, to get up to match speed and full sharpness but we've got five games left so we won't rush him. We just need to make sure that he's firing when it really matters.”
