Wycombe head coach Mike Dodds admitted his side’s 1-0 win over Lincoln “wasn’t vintage” but he will “enjoy the moment” as the Chairboys continue to push for a place in the Sky Bet League One promotion places.
The Adams Park side sealed their first Saturday victory in the division since January as they registered back-to-back triumphs in the division for the first time since November.
Cameron Humphreys’ seventh strike of the season, which was his third in 10 games, was all that separated the two teams.
In a game of very few chances, Xavier Simons and Josh Scowen fired over for Wycombe in the opening period, before Adam Reach’s deflected attempt was tipped onto the crossbar by George Wickens.
The second half saw Erik Ring force Will Norris into a good stop before the deciding moment came in the 65th minute.
A mistake by defender Sean Roughan allowed Humphreys in and he went around Wickens and tapped home the winner.
Paudie O’Connor was then sent off in the final moments as Lincoln finished the game with 10 men.
Dodds said: “Was Rotherham vintage? No. Was Lincoln vintage? Probably not, but my job at the moment is to win football matches and that’s what we have done and I’m very pleased.
“I have been here for the best part of two months and it was the first time I could feel anxiousness around and my responsibility at this moment in time is to be calm and clear in what we want to achieve.
“We have got back-to-back wins which is something we haven’t done in the league since November and that was prior to my time at the football club.
“A couple of players mentioned it when I joined so it’s been stuck in my head.
“I was really conscious about putting back-to-back wins together and it’s taken a bit longer than expected but we have done it.
“If we stay focused and relaxed, we’ll put a run of games together and we’re going to enjoy today.
“Is it how I want it to look? No, but I want Wycombe to win so we can get out of this league.”
Lincoln boss Michael Skubala said he was “disappointed” but admitted his team “didn’t do enough” to win the match.
He said: “I didn’t think we created a lot in the first half and in the second half, I thought we came out the better team.
“We dominated the opening 10 minutes as we were on top but then it’s fate.
“Shaun is distraught as he knows on another day he is clearing that with no issues, but there are fine margins in the league as we know Wycombe are a very good team.
“Overall, I’m disappointed.
“I don’t think we did enough to win it as I don’t think we did enough with the ball, but, I don’t think we deserved to lose, but Wycombe are a top side.”
