Wycombe Post match reflection
I cannot fault the effort, a battling performance I suppose. But there was very little quality, and the chances of us getting a goal were always slim.
Tactically we were very strange, and carrying a player for 70 minutes who does very little apart from taking set-pieces is a luxury we cannot afford, especially since he did that badly, too.
Shaun Whalley’s running produces enough energy to produce electricity for a middle-sized industrial town, but present science has not found a way to turn that energy into goals.
Pressley is strong, slow, but good at knocking the ball down for his strike-partner. It is not obvious to me why then, do you decide not to supply him with one. Shaun is no striker, has one League goal to his name, and when he goes wide, which does most of the game, nobody steps up. Quirk was playing behind the strikers said the commentators. Yeah, WAY behind. It got a little better when Tommy Leigh came on.
And Coley was moaning about the strikers he didn’t get. But he got one, and is not prepared to give him even a subs appearance.
The bottom clubs are so poor that we still have chance, believe it or not, but if we stick with the same unsuccessful approach to every game, even the lack of quality at Forest Green and the like will not save us.
