Best away support ever, not just numbers but also in volume, pride and splendid one-eyed passion for the Reds. Was walking up the road to the ground about half-two and could hear the drum and the singing, and thought, 'Blimey, they're in the ground already.' In fact, there was a massive party going on in the car park, helped a little by the fact that Wycombe had put a beer tent there!

It was a game of low quality but high tension, settled by the one moment of class from Josh, with a terrific free-kick that deserved to be a goal in its own right, but was saved by the excellent Wycombe keeper, who also kept out a couple of long-range efforts in the first-half. I agree with F19 about the safety-first approach, putting Halliday in the middle in the absence of Crooks is making us very difficult indeed to break down, but puts a huge onus on Billy and the two wingers, who also do their fair share of defending as well. Chances aren't as easily created without Crooksy, but if you aren't conceding then it only needs one chance to land on Billy's right peg and we're home.
