It was a match of “Two Halves” today.
First half Stanley were a bit uncoordinated and lacking real ‘drive’.
Stanley continued their generous recent play again giving opponents multiple chances to score, which Wycombe did twice! At least we got one goal back through Adedoyin.
The second half was a total contrast as Coley and Jimmy did a double substitution at half time bringing on Harry Pell and young Josh Woods. It certainly changed the match as our energy levels and physicality certainly improved.
We fully deserved to win the match with two great goals for Sykes and Pell.
The Clayton End was superb again and we were bouncing as the match was ending.
Then the most ridiculous and totally wrong Red Card ever seen awarded by a referee who, in my opinion, had not had a particularly good match. In the EIGHTH minute of supposedly SIX added minutes, Clarke was in possession of the ball and lined up to shoot. Clark was tackled at right angles by a Wycombe player running across Clark’s attempted shot. How on earth the referee could see a red card for Clark is totally beyond me. If a foul was to be called it should have been against the Wycombe player for flying in with no chance of getting the ball.

Just one other negative issue from the match was the throwing of a flare on to the pitch when we scored our first goal. Our super Stewards did some great work and rooted out two young teenagers and led them out of the ground early in the second half. The stewards seemed to be looking for a third protagonists and an announcement was made later in the match for the Stanley supporters to follow the instructions of the Stewards as we were leaving the ground. At the end of the match though we departed in the normal manner. I feel that we really need to install a video camera behind the goal in the Clayton End pointing directly down into the central area of the terrace which would allow the senior stewards to pin point the idiotic culprits. I think that the two young lads escorted from the ground today were not regulars as I did not recognize them at all.
However, in the final match analysis, Stanley came back to score a superb victory against a really good side.
I have always been a fan of Gareth Ainsworth since he became manager at Wycombe. But OMG, he used to frustrate me when he was playing for them because he scored so many goals against us in important matches.
Stanley WON today though, to give us three important points in our initial quest for League One safety, and in our seemingly unlikely outside chance of getting into the Play Offs.
ON STANLEY ON.
KEEP THE FAITH.
