Pack as Kane punishes their hopes
Warburton is not getting carried away with the fine form.
“This division is ruthless and the moment you start relaxing it does bite you on the bum,” Warburton said. “So, everything we do now is about Preston on Wednesday night.
“When you look at the quality of the opposition that tells you all you need to know about the result.”
Bournemouth had the best of the chances in a scrappy first half, Seny Dieng denying first Philip Billing and then Shane Long in one-onones after they were sent clean through.
Chances began to flow after the break, as Yoann Barbet headed an Ilias Chair freekick against the bar before intercepted by Stefan
Adam Smith failed to guide a Johansen on the edge of the Lloyd Kelly shot on target area to the stroke the ball past from point-blank range. Asmir Begovic.

Surridge for Long to chest the ball over the line.
Kane scored the winner seven minutes from time, firing in Albert Adomah’s far-post cross, after Macauley Bonne neatly flicked on Niko Hamalainen’s ball up the line.
Bonne could have wrapped the game up late on but somehow missed.
Warburton added: “Bournemouth are a highlytalented squad so the players deserve enormous credit.
“It is a really good win.”
GARETH AINSWORTH took the positive of a rare clean sheet for Wycombe – but knows his rock-bottom side need to start winning games.
This was a point that helped neither side with their hopes at both ends of the table.
Wycombe slipped 11 points from safety at the foot of the league, while victory would have put Millwall within five points of the play-offs in 11th.
But Ainsworth was happy with a fifth clean sheet of the season after the heartache of losing to a 90th-minute goal against Derby in midweek.
The Chairboys boss said: “We could have done with three points but not losing was big after the boys were hard done by during the week. A clean sheet is a big positive away from home. We would have taken that at the start of the season but because of the situation we are in, three points would have been great.”
Ainsworth blamed the lack of quality on a poor pitch but the opening 25 minutes only troubled the planes on the
Heathrow flight path above. When the ball fell to a playable height, Matt Smith went close.
At the other end Anis Mehmeti’s 20-yarder forced Bartosz Bialkowski into action.
Chairboys winger Daryl Horgan then stung the palms of Bialkowski after Millwall’s Ben Thompson tested the sturdiness of the cardboard cut-outs in the North Stand.
The second half was more appealing, but only due to the amount of penalty appeals.
Lions boss Gary Rowett said:
“I don’t think Wycombe troubled us apart from the odd set-piece but we could not convert our possession into enough chances on goal.” MILLWALL: Bialkowski 6; Hutchinson 6, Evans 6, Pearce 6; Romeo 7, Woods 6, Thompson 6 (Bodvarsson 85), Malone 7; J Wallace 6 (Ferguson 85), Smith 6 (Bradshaw 63, 6), Bennett 6 (Mitchell 63, 6).
Unused Subs: Fielding, Williams, McNamara, Tiensia, Burey. WYCOMBE: Stockdale 6; Grimmer 6, Stewart 7, Tafazoli 6, Obita 7; Wheeler 6, Knight 6, Mehmeti 6; Onyedinma 6, Ikpeazu 6 (Muskwe 85), Horgan 6 (McCleary 76).
Unused Subs: Anderson, Gape, Kashket, Adeniran, Samuel, McCarthy, Ofoborth.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Anthony Stewart. Solid presence at the heart of the Wycombe defence. REFEREE: Jarred Gillett 6.
