Match Thread Wycombe (20 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

8 points clear of the bottom 3, massive

so were Charlton and Hull at this point last year, long way to go but we're doing OK.

The game turned with the penalty decision. It was never a pen in my eyes, the player was waiting for the contact so he could go down. After that they knew the ref was going to blow up the second anyone hit the deck. Our heads seemed to completely go as soon as they got back into it, which wasn't helped at all by Kelly's injury. Fingers crossed he's not out long because we look much worse defensively without him.

First away win too

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I am. Still doesn’t mean some players weren’t objectively bad.

Exactly.

I'm really happy with the win. It's a very important 3 points I think.

I would say my reservations over certain players are becoming more and more clear each week.

Some incredible performances today and some shocking ones too.

I didn't even come into the season as a Shipley 'hater' but my God, at this level he offers absolutely nothing.

Robins need a word with himself regarding Shipley.

Of course

 

[Tommo1993]

Same as last week. Had a bad feeling but we came out winners. Add to that a below average performance, there are positives.

 

[Chip Batch]

Get the fuck in. Robins poor I’m afraid.

Brainless playing Shipley ahead of Hamer. And Baka ahead of Max.?...lost the plot.

Giving them a break I think. He said about players being fatigued midweek. Hardly lost the plot. We were poor first half but decent second half and should have scored one or two more which would have taken any nerves out of it at the end.

 

[Johhny Blue]

I'm getting the whisky out. Fuck it Keelllllly

Hope you made it a double

Don’t think that was offside

I think that the Wycombe player with his hands on his hips is offside.

I've described him as a luxury player before because to be effective you have to get him the ball in and around the box, he's no way near good enough to make that kind of concession for though. Would be a special team player in the NFL.

 

[Magwitch]

Well that turned out to be tough, losing Kelly seemed to affect us but again it was our final ball letting us down a number of times second half we were that one decent pass from creating a good chance to score. I try not to criticise MR but his Bakayoko substitution baffles me what was his role meant to be. But it’s three points in the bag that’s the important thing.

 

[larry_david]

Weird because they were gung ho with 30 mins to go. It was end to end and a better attacking team than cov puts 4 past them today. We are not clinical. Hamer should score from that left foot, nearly scored from the ridiculous but we need to be clinical. Giles would have stretched them.

Walker looked shattered with 25 to go
Sheaf did fuck all but give away a stupid pen
Hamer was awesome.
Dabo was awesome.
O hare much better.
Max looked fuming baka came on in front of him.
Baka... He just doesn't want the ball does he. Every time he's one touch laying it off. Lack of confidence clearly.
Osti leaps about 25 ft everytime. Incredible.
I don't care how we beat Wycombe but we all joked Wycombe are 6 points this season, I'm delighted to get 3 here. Away win as well.
That late equaliser I've not felt so angry in a long long long time. Infact I even thought their protests protests was part of the celebrations

We've put ourselves in the group above the relegation crew. Very good work.

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Awful side to play against, didn't help ourselves at all, hamer brilliant second half

I hope they go down. Dont deserve to be a championship club

 

[Mcbean]

Good win - got away with one - I think the same as some above he played Baka and Shipley to rest Hamer and Biamou for the midweek game

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Would like Giles to start in midweek, really hope Godden comes back this side of new year.

 

[clint van damme]

Shipley and Baka must be on borrowed time. I refuse to believe Robins can't see it.

I'm sure he can see it, it's having the budget to replace them. I'd pretty much guarantee neither is on great money so do you take a punt on another lower league player or is it a case of better the devil you know?
If we can get back to the Ricoh on a decent length deal next year the club might be able to start putting a more competitive wage structure in place, can't see it happening while we're at St. Andrews.

 

[David O'Day]

We've got another game midweek. It's a balance. The decision isn't all about who is the best player.

Baka also gets credit Robins eyes for his work rate in the channels

If Baka isn't willing to put the work in he's no good to us, would sooner try Bapaga as a 4th striker than carry Baka as a passenger

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

Players drifting away from Akinfenwa at the very end as he centred it for their player to shoot. It looked like we were scared of him and had decided to just let him win it. Maybe he's better than I 'm giving him credit for.

The resulting goal didn't look offside at all - I hope a still shot shows otherwise.

Bakayoko really poor. I've never seen anything in him but have hoped to be proven wrong every time he plays. Away at Charlton, granted. That Fleetwood goal where he went in on the 'keeper. Not much else.

Kelly, Ostigard, O'Hare, G.Hamer and Biamou all up to scratch. Plenty of bright spots despite my negative tone. Sporadic quality moves and a solid defence till they started bricking it at Akinfenwa.

Sheaf not great. He looks just marginally out of his depth most games, though you can see there's a player there.

I feel that should have been 2-2 because we bottled it.

 

[Johnnythespider]

What i do take from that disallowed goal is Wilson spilling the ball straight to their player, worrying.

 

[jordan210]

We allways make things hard for ourselves don’t we

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Robins need a word with himself regarding Shipley.

He knows the player well - there was clearly something wrong with him today. Injury/ill - MR will know, but really? 'MR needs to have a word with himself'? . We all know he's hit a bit of poor form, but today I'm not including because clearly something was amiss.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

That’s the offside decision you get when you’re playing your bogey side... expect similar for us against Preston away

 

[Deleted member 2477]

I'm a full Hamer convert now. Enjoy it whilst you can... will we even keep him in January?

Why shouldnt we he is under contract

Yep saved his blushes though to be fair he was hardly tested all afternoon

He's basically a shadow striker. I like him running at goal and taking pot shots, stretching the defence by getting ahead of the striker. I think he's not goo enough at a lot of things to be a proper midfielder. His real problem is O'Hare is the much better player and player that shadow role.

Bayo won pretty much everything. I agree he's shite but anything he didn't win was mopped up by them. They'll go down but it's their weapon. Their equaliser Sam was left with bayo and that looped header baka stood in awe and watched

 

[glasgowfan]

Great win. Another 3 points! I'm not sure my blood pressure will stand many more games like this.

Wimp!

 

[Deleted member 2477]

He’s not offside there and the ball had already left his foot. Massive let off.

Makes up for the penalty that wasnt

But it wasn't and we won, 7 games unbeaten and 8 points clear of the relagation zone... Fuck me people just want to be negative don't they

In previous match live game he was subbed at half time. With no injury

 

[Tommo1993]

Winning in front of only their fans adds to the sweetness of it. Banging on at the ref every five seconds.
