It wasn't a c;assic" game true, but survival will come from winning games like this more than the champagne football we played v Wimbledon or 1st half v Barnet.
When I got home I checked the stats and amazed to see that Wycombe had only 2 shots on target. That speaks well for our defence who were under pressure a lot of the game and that is what we should take from this. A few months ago we would have been 3-0 down before Molyneaux's goal, but being able to go away, defend strongly on a bouncy pitch, restrict the opposition to just 2 shots on target. All those are real positives. Grabbing a last minute goal was the icing on the cake. and like all icings on cake, very welcome.
It was a perfect away trip in many ways: go away, defend from the front, work hard, keep the clean sheet and snatch a late winner.

Everyone of the players put in a shift. Wilson and Murphy were both stretched but hung in there. Beattie (i know he is not everyone's favourite) gave full effort even if his legs don't carry that bulky frame around so well these days. Linganzi was immense winning the ball in midfield, unfortunately he also gave the ball away a lot but in his defence playing on a rugby pitch was difficult and it was that sort of game.
The one player who was a bit reticent was actually molyneaux. An early yellow card clipped his wings and he really struggled to make an impact. Until he made an imact! wowzer!

Also: full respect to Wycombe and their fans. They made us welcome, had a good craic with them in their sports bar before the game, £10 admission was a real boost and it must have been a sickener to lose like that. hahahahhahaha!

the stanley fans were in big voice throughout and i believe that support helped the team when we were under pressure. not sure how many were there, perhaps 200 or so but we made plenty of noise.
