Cheltenham boss Mark Yates is purring with delight after his side beat Wycombe 3-1 in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy second round.

A double from Darryl Duffy and one from Brian Smikle earned the Robins an impressive away win, leaving Yates to praise the overall performance of his team, and Duffy's two-goal salvo in particular. "I thought we were excellent," he said. "The first 20 minutes we didn't start as well as we wanted to and after that we were superb. "The whole group that travelled were fantastic. We left a few boys at home, but my squad's decent, we've made a few changes but we were excellent. "Darryl's first goal was superb, but that's what he's about. All night he was a constant threat on the shoulder of defenders and he must have been a nightmare to mark he was outstanding, as were them all."
