“We seem to find a team that’s settled and then an injury will come along and hinder us or a suspension.
“But we definitely know there’s a lot more to come from us. We’re just trying to put things together so it clicks at the right time.
“It’s not through lack of trying. We’re doing everything every week to get us in the positions we want to be.

Despite his distinguished history, Vaughan has never been afraid to roll his sleeves up, and it shows in his attitude in dropping to the lowest level he has played at.
“It’s a bit more physical but I’m enjoying it,” he said. “I’m looking forward to every game.”
Meanwhile, Wimbledon manager Glyn Hodges has ruled out recalling on-loan winger Dylan Connolly from Valley Parade in January.
“If he is playing then I don’t really want to bring him back,” he said. “With the system we are playing at the moment, Dylan won’t find a spot and would be on the bench.”
