Might have been covered in the pre or match thread. But how they hell do they not sell out that small stadium? How many fans do they actually have? Would be great to play against the bigger boys in the Championship next season.
To be fair, he absolutely owned TC tonight. I really hope TC digs deep and finds a better level in the home leg. He seems to be lacking confidence, lost half a yard of pace, can'r recall one instance of taking Grimmer or other defenders on on the outside, always cutting inside with a poor final ball. When he's good he's very good, but when he's off form he's really bad.
Our main tactic seemed to be, hoofing the ball up in the air and then trying to win the second ball, which is basically their main game. Why didn't we pass the ball around on the floor? Berry was pretty anonymous again and the Doc was shite. Our fans were great. Hats off!

Yeh hope we can evolve from the long ball shite on Thursday.

Which was our tactic for the 1st half of the season & only changed when Small was deployed as a right winger. As Small didn't start we reverted to type. As our recent run has shown....if we play our best 11 we are pretty decent & can beat anyone. Miss 1 or 2 players (perm any of Jones, Small, TC, Berry or Edwards) and we are pretty poor. Hoof ball doesn't win you many games.
Wycombe are a genuine ming of a club.. No alcohol in the stadium, massive queues to get any in the fan bar outside. Music blasted at the away fans at ridiculous levels and a bunch of prick, cheating, diving, 'orrible long ball merchant players.
I hope we stuff then beyond all recognition on Thursday.
Took 30 mins after the game to get out of the road we parked on 2 miles from the ground to avoid traffic, as the road was blocked and 12 armed police plus a dog went into a house.
Total shit hole.
Still had a great time as crowd were excellent and our players stood up well.
Some appalling behaviour from a few of our supporters tonight.
A few people who found their seats occupied were threatening those in them with violence and hurling abuse at them.
Ridiculously, this was happening at the back of the stadium by people who wanted to sit!
First an old man hobbled to the back of the stand with his grandson supporting him. They found their seats taken and, instead of asking them to move, they IMMEDIATELY began shouting 'C*nts' at them over and over. The people moved, but several others got involved and politely informed them that, if they were sat at the back, they would be standing for 90 minutes. These people were also called c*nts for trying to be helpful.
Subsequently, another old man arrived by himself and found his seat taken by a youngster.
The young guy politely explained that people generally sit where they like at away games, but the old man was adamant that he wanted his seat. The youngster moved for him, but the old man still kept kicking off and was threatening to beat the young supporter up for having dared to sit in his seat in the first place.
The youngster quipped back asking the old man if it was the first away game of his life. Ridiculously, the old man responded with 'Actually, it's the second away game I have been to! Wrexham the other week was the first away game I ever went to!'
He didn't seem to realise that he was proving the youngster's point as, when others also asked if he would be fine standing for 90 minutes, he proudly boasted that this was his third game all season (he also went to Burton at home) and that he used to be a season ticket holder when we were in the Premier League, so he knows what it's like. It was reiterated that everybody in front of him would be standing, but he kept going on about how many seasons he had watched us at home in the Premier League, so he knew best.
Queue kick-off and the pair of old men began kicking off, yelling at those around then to sit down and be respectful, since they had paid for tickets and deserved to be able to watch the match just like the rest of us.
It was pointed out to them by those in front that, if they sat down, they wouldn't be able to see as the people in front of them would be stood up and so on as almost everybody was standing.
They complained to the stewards to try and get everybody to sit, but the stewards had witnessed their earlier altercations and reminded them that they had been told to sit at the front if they wanted to sit down as neither allocated seating or seating itself was being enforced.
The old man who was alone was a nightmare for the rest of the match. As well as constantly whining about having to stand, he was complaining that Charlton fans were singing and the drummer was drumming!
Instead of accepting responsibility, he directed his anger at the youngster who was originally in his seat, constantly threatening to beat him up once they were out the ground.
It was already a rather dull game, especially the first half, but having to endure 90 minutes of whining on top, made it an evening worse experience.
It's came up many times before about how Valley Gold is overvalued and supporters who actually attend matches miss out over those that don't go. But seeing a guy who has been to three games in the past 18 years attending a sold out away end tonight really takes the biscuit.
Kone pushed his luck with the horror tackle on Ramsay and later with an elbow in the face of Gillisphey. If not a straight red for the first, surely two yellows?
Crap ref. Crap game. Take the draw. Gonna be a rocking Valley for part two. From the match preview thread, my wife just got back pissed and with a Portuguese geezer called Jinxy!

We didn’t lose the game which is the main thing, and the lads all battled very hard in a game which was always going to be difficult. However, that could be one of the worst games of football I’ve ever seen (from both teams). The amount of times the ball was in the air, or kicked out of play was comical. I was not impressed by us at all, but getting through is all that matters, and The Valley Thursday will be bouncing.
Comments
85 minutes on the clock Wycombe were wrecked and if it was not for Norris we would taking a lead back home.
Edwards was immense and was certainly up for the battle and my man of the match
A warm temperature would have sapped the energy of most sides so credit to the strength and conditioning staff at the club.
The Wycombe press and doubling up on TC made it very difficult.
Look how things changed once Anderson and especially Small came on.
We were able to attack from both wings.
Always hated Wycombe and the manager is massive twat.
