Wycombe match thread

Ainsworth was at Yeovil on Tuesday, so can we expect his players to also lunge at and harry Stanley to disrupt their game? If so, it may be interesting to see if a 'premier league' ref makes a difference to the outcome this time.
Will Jacobson and Murphy be on their game?
Even more importantly, will Mr.Murphy Snr remember to stand on the Coppice end?
 
What concerned me a bit about this ref, Has he been demoted fer being crap or what?:confused: Cos we've sure had some real clowns this season.
 
for the second match running I can't log on to Dan's comm. because demand exceeds capacity set by the host. Anyone else with the same problem ? - will only be around to catch the second half but looking like auntie beeb will have to do.
 
me too, surely there can't be that many on luckily got radio commentary, unluckily we're getting battered!
 
Accy Stanley Twitter has some text comm, but also says no text comm on fishy site today hence the message...
 
Good point against the league leaders and hot shots. Some bold changes by Professor Coleman. Well done to all, including the 1,100+ true Stanley fans.
 
Good point imho, against the best side ive seen at the crown this season, First half Wycombe mollered us, dunno what was said at half time, but a different Stanley came out second half, Reckon the Wycombe fans left happy with a point, Great credit to the lads.:)

According to the Beeb, he's been injured since his last game - last season's FA Cup final! Hope he liked the officials' changing room .......:D

Good result the way Wycombe are going this season :)
 
Agree with that Cashy, though I can't believe you haven't commented on the ref., which is unlike you! I never do so but that ex Premier reject was the worst I've seen for a while. He let all their rugby tackles go but booked Jonno for giving as good as he was getting for the same thing, and booked our players for straightforward strong ball winning tackles. Aldred and Atkinson were immense again. But for their goalie pulling off a couple of stunning saves late on we would have had the 3 points.
 
It was just the norm, the liner on cowshed was even worse.;) I'm convinced our crap facilities contribute in some way,to these decisions by officials.
 
Good game today in difficult conditions 5 changes to any team is hard to take and it showed first half against a very well organized team unit, 2nd half we got into our stride and could have
won it but I,ll take a point special mention to Luke Simpson stepped in and 2 half had an excellent game and produced a marvellous save to keep us in it.
 
The free kicks in particular were first class. The wycombe No2 deserves a mention, big strong lad n like lightening. had Kal beat fer pace n hes a quick lad, very good defender, impressed me,
 
Shows how far we have come recently when I am disappointed with a draw against the league leaders who have a tremendous away record.
I thought after ten minutes,was the weather affecting the game as Wycombe were dominating second balls and pressing us with ease,although in reality they only had one shot on target in the first half and scored a worldy.
The weather did effect the game IMO as we were fantastic in the second half and really should have won 4-1,how their keeper kept out two of the attempts is a mystery.
We knew how Wycombe have been playing 4-1-3-2 so our full backs had to tuck in,but they had two class fullbacks and wingers to spread the play two.
We really had to work hard to get out to them and that battle was worth the entrance money alone.
For me Atkinson was superb,not only in contact areas but kept his position and shape.
First half we did miss the attacking focal point,but I am nitpicking now,the second half performance as good as anything in recent weeks,despite mid week game/injuries/illnesses etc..they deserve a pat on the back :)
 
If the officials had been up to scratch we'd have won.

Their goal had a blatant offside in the build up.

One of their defenders made a world class diving save which both the ref and liner managed to miss.

Their CB threw himself to the floor when put under pressure and should have got a second yellow for it.

Throw in a few unbelievable saves from their keeper and it just wasn't our day.

Well played Stanley - was expecting a thrashing and came away having done enough to win it.
 
Well my first two pence worth in a few weeks.......

Said I would take a draw before a ball was kicked and that is what we got.

As others have said...... The officials really where dreadful in every way. Some of the bookings where ridiculous. Jacobsen was acting like a complete idiot all game, which was quite annoying considering what we did for him.

As for the team, was rather surprised to see the golden boy dropped, his introduction as a sub was laughable. But thought we played quite well in the second 45 as a whole. O Sullivan looks the real deal , such a shame his loan is up. Fingers crossed he is the first man Coley gets back!

A nice solid performance by the rest, Hunt looked a little short of match fitness which was no surprise. Mccarten looks to have a new lease of life under Coley which is great to see.

I must also mention Simpson in goal, who I thought in the circumstances did pretty well today. It can't be easy knowing that your boss doesn't rate you, but to perform like he did today after weeks and weeks on the bench. Let's not forget he was our best player for the first 5 games of the season. He obviously has the talent, so well done lad.

All aboard the train .... oh wait....... car to York !
