Best Of

Interesting to see most here are sticking with Fred. For me, it’s a rest for him and try something new.

I always look forward to playing Burton. The sight of that fat yellow b*****d on the badge always makes me smile 😄.

It's definitely a very much want to win game, as we need to start building some momentum for these final thirteen games.

Can't hardly believe we're actually second - but we got here on merit and have earned the right to challenge for automatic promotion. Let's return to playing with a bit more confidence and swagger.

Yes exactly.

I'd be disappointed if Grimmer and Sadlier were on the beach already.

I think he meant there is usually a player (or ex player) on the appeal panel?

...in 2007 (18 years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 90 minutes, and scored, for Wycombe Wanderers in a 3-0 League Two win over Macclesfield Town at Adams Park. Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiysHymDdtU

In 2012 (13 years ago) Matt Bloomfield came on as a 56th minute substitute (replacing Lewis Laing) for Wycombe Wanderers in a 4-1 League One defeat to Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park.

In 2015 (ten years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 89 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 2-1 League Two win over Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park (replaced by Peter Murphy).

Here’s his quote: Yellow card, absolute nailed on yellow, he’s got that one wrong! If I were his club I’d appeal. He might not get off because you’re dependent on who’s on the panel.

“I think if a player looks at that and he’s on the panel he’s going to say that’s a yellow and not a red.”

I have been arguing myself silly with this one for last few days! It wasn’t the best of challenges but I still cannot understand how under the laws of the game it was given as a red and I’m simply stunned how many Wycombe fans agreed with the ref’s decision. Not going to go back over old ground but pleased that a name such as Keith Hackett agrees with me. Suggests I’m not going mad.

Seems fairly likely there is an unconscious bias creeping in with the question. Any crowd of more than 15K will, by definition, be away from home so our odds of winning are already lower. Ditto they will, by definition, be teams with more history - I hesitate to say they are bigger clubs.

In a couple of years we'll be playing in front of 20k on a regular basis. I'm sure our win ratio will be fine.
