Sharp's brace took the 32-year-old up to eight for the season and made it four in the last three games.

"He (Sharp) is getting himself in the goals, his general all-round play is good, his link-up play is the best it's been at this football club and he does what he does best, which is score,' said Wilder.

On the game, Wilder added: "We've had to work extremely hard, had to do a lot of good things right tonight. It's a difficult place to come, they have a great home record.

"The skipper has got two and we've controlled a lot of the game but I thought the way we dealt with (Bradley) Dack and (danny) Graham is a really pleasing aspect of our game.

"It's a tough place to come but we needed to keep playing the way we play. We talked at half-time about a little bit of quality around the final third. We got into some great positions first half without finding that last little bit, and we did in the second half."
