Ian Culverhouse told Wanderers World on Monday that Paul Lambert got his substitutions 'spot on' in Saturday's 2-2 draw and believes that the Blues' comeback can now inspire the team to greater things.

The Wanderers found it tough against the Daggers, who were playing their first ever league game at Victoria Road and took a two-goal lead before Lambert's inspired substitutions turned the game on its head:

"We had scouting reports on Dagenham and I've worked with John Still (Daggers' manager) before at Barnet so we had an insight into how they were going to play. We combatted that by changing the personnel for the game but it took away from our natural game. But the 'gaffer' made the right changes at the right time and he got it spot on."

Lambert brought on Martin Bullock, Sergio Torres and John Sutton as second-half substitutes and all three contributed to an improved Wanderers display which culminated in goals from Matt Bloomfield and Jermaine Easter, and Culverhouse was delighted with the way the team fought back to earn a point:

"Under the circumstances it was a massive point if you consider where we were with 30 minutes to play. The lads showed great character, they battled hard and never gave in. Now we've got to grow and get bigger and stronger, and hopefully it'll be the start of big things."

Easter showed tremendous composure to stroke home the equalising goal from the penalty spot deep into injury time in the second half, but Culverhouse insists that it was simply another example of the player's attitude towards the game:

"Jemma was massive for us. He was a threat in behind their defence and he had two big chances. If he'd played the first two games of the season then he would have scored those chances easily but he was a little bit rusty.

"There's a massive amount of rumours floating around regarding his future but he's focussed and he knows what he wants, which is to well for Wycombe Wanderers Football Club. Nothing phases him - he's very clued in and he knew that the game rested on that one instance. It shows the level of the man that he rolls up and sidefoots it into the net."

Culverhouse was appointed to the role of Head Coach in the summer and has had to adapt to the first team surroundings, which was made no easier by the arrivals of eleven new players to the club, but the former Norwich City right-back insists that the team is beginning to gel together:

"I don't think we've played the same team twice in the seven or eight games that we've played, and it's going to take time. We'll get better and stronger and we'll grow. The players in the dressing room know what's required of them - they're very together and their work ethic is right. There's a hell of a long way to go but we'll get there, I'm telling you."
