Re: Wycombe (A) Match Thread
Excellent summary from Phil and excellent performance from Stanley. After their equaliser it was like the Alamo at times, but I was surprised how much Wycombe simply relied on hoofing speculative balls into the Stanley box. It wasn't a dirty match but the ref was rightly wearing yellow, as he was obviously frightened to penalise Wycombe, and the linesman in the second half flagged for off side every time Gornell dared to step inside Wycombe's half.
Great to see Piero hammer in a goal in front of his dad, again!
On leaving the ground one Wycombe fan expressed surprise at Stanley's league position (which got worse despite the point!) as he thought they were one of the best teams he'd seen at Adams Park. I suggested it's because we tend to play well against good teams and less well against strugglers. Which makes the next few games interesting and, as the season grows to its finale and relegation threatened clubs fight for their lives, critical.
