Club captain Grimmer given a new contract. Boyhood fan and long-serving staff member Sam Grace in interim charge for two games. Rejecting very large bids for existing players Low and Kone. Three examples of culture retention.

You may not like that they let Bloomfield go without much of a fuss and that they let go of his recruitment analyst and the psychologist and a few others, but there are many positives in other areas.

I’m by no means a Rice bootlicker, but let’s be fair and balanced. There have been a lot of debatably good and a lot of debatably bad decisions so far. All of those decisions warrant time. I’d like to remind many of you about the outrage when Des Buckingham was sacked a few weeks ago and since then Oxford are absolutely flying. What’s to say we can’t kick on even further than where we are now. FA Cup quarters? League title? Might seem unlikely now, but don’t rule it out.

Look at a photo of Wycombe vs Met Police 35 years ago. The players, management, ground and staff are no longer here. But God knows how many people on this forum were at the game. The fans are forever and everybody else is passing through.

So, you think that a club lying second in the table with the possibility of being in the Championship next season, with an excellent squad of players that could have further additions by the end of the month, with superb training facilities and a billionaire owner with ambition, is an unattractive prospect for a (possibly) out of work manager? I don’t know what world you’re living in but it’s not the real one.

I'm pretty sure McCleary was at pains in his post-match interview on Saturday to give credit to Matty B.

Love the positivity on here tonight and I think the celebrations at the end dispel any thoughts that the players will let the loss of a popular manager affect their desire and commitment to the cause. They are hardened professionals and they showed that today. To see a top player like Vokes who’s done it all for club and country leading the celebrations despite not even being on the bench proved that the oft mentioned Wycombe spirit can overcome any setbacks. Brilliant result in the context of a disruptive week.

Lovely moment at the end there. Time after time this club shows me that as long as we’re all together, we’ll keep on writing this brilliant story of our football league journey.

The result and manner of it was just what we needed as a club after a really difficult week.

Good win for you guys.

Please beat Wrexham to promotion.

Pure uneducated guesswork time:

We were only ever going to sell Joe Low if a replacement could be found, and the deals for Lloyd Jones from Charlton and others have failed to materialise meaning that we've decided not to sell, which we're allowed to do

Hopefully Joe can go on to finish what he's started and play a starring role in our ascent to the Championship. I don't doubt his character for one second, and even if he is disappointed I can't imagine that he would ever give less than his all in a Wycombe shirt
