Re: Wycombe Match Thread
Smelling salts finally kicking in after all the excitement. What a result and what support!
It was b****y hard work. Wycombe harried Stanley and gave them little time or space then, when they had the ball, seemed to want to play beach football by trying to keep it constantly in the air. Weird tactics but, combined with Stanley's obvious nerves, it made the first half a tad frustrating. They created some good chances but appeared not to want to score as Etherington really didn't have a great deal to do, although he did that well.
Second half saw Stanley, and the fans, turn the screw and the goal just had to come when it did.
As others noted, ref was inconsistent (pulling Fosu down by an arm around his neck merely warranted a foul) but, to their credit, the players kept their heads and it just seemed to drive them on.
Can only hope Wycombe get their shooting boots back from the menders before next week's final fixtures.
