Ben Wilkinson’s side went into this one in fourth spot, one place and one point behind the West Midlands side.
But we leapfrogged Wanderers after a comfortable win at the CFA.
The result will have pleased Wilkinson not just for the quality on display but also for his team’s bouncebackability, after defeat in our last encounter 4-3 at home to Nottingham Forest.
In this one, goals from Jacob Wright, Matty Henderson-Hall and Alfie Harrison – all in the first half – ensured the impressive triumph.
