Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens admitted Wycombe “were far too good” for his side as they lost 3-0 to the Chairboys at Adams Park.
Strikes from Fred Onyedinma, Dan Udoh and Cam Humphreys gave Matt Bloomfield’s team their eighth victory in 12 games so far this season.
The result is also Wanderers’ 10th consecutive match in the division without a defeat – their longest run for two years.
Orient lacked any real threat going forward, with the club’s supporters sarcastically cheering when Ollie O’Neill’s tame attempt was saved by Wycombe keeper Franco Ravizzoli in the last 10 minutes.
It was the first time the Argentinian was properly tested during the contest.
Speaking at full-time, Wellens said: “They were far too good for us because every time they cleared it, they go big and they go long.
“They have strikers that are jumping in, leaning in and are effective and they are hard to play against.
“The first two goals were mistakes and they were just better than us.
“When they got into the [attacking] areas, they took over with their pace, and even though we had lots of opportunities [to create chances], we slowed the game down.
“Wycombe were explosive, powerful, and we were poor.
“When they got into the final third, they used their quality and they were ruthless.
“They’re giving it a right go.”
Whilst Wellens was fuming with his side’s display, Bloomfield was the complete opposite.
He made five changes going into the fixture following the 3-2 win away at Burton, and the change of personnel proved to be key for the Chairboys.
Wycombe rarely got out of third gear at Adams Park, and could have easily scored three or four more.
He said: “The changes were in discussion over Wednesday and Thursday – it seems to have all these options up front and not freshening things up after a late trip home from Burton.
“We pressed so high at Burton that Richard [Kone] and Luke [Leahy] needed a few days to recover as I wanted to protect them.
“With Josh [Scowen] being absent, I thought Ty’s [Tyreeq Bakinson] athleticism and energy would give us that boost due to how Orient play.
“The boys have put a huge amount of effort into the week.
“We’re scoring goals, the boys are in good form and it’s a joy to watch them.
“We’re really pleased but there is a lot of work to do still.”
Wycombe are currently second in the table just three points behind leaders Birmingham.
The Chairboys looked set to finish the day in third, but got their place in the top two after Wrexham conceded a late equaliser away at Charlton.
For Orient, they sit 20th, with just 11 points from their 13 games so far this season.
