Best Of

He's been in charge for 4 games for goodness sake! The guy has taken on a team second in the league and clearly explained that he would not be making radical changes this season (a sensible, pragmatic approach given the context). We also have two wingers that have played Premier League football, the League's top scorer, a premier league loanee with 12 goals + assists, plus several other capable deputies.

With that in mind it doesn't seem so strange to me that a new signing faces a struggle initially to get in the team. Didn't Sadlier originally find minutes quite limited last season? By the end of it he was one of our best attacking players.

Since when have football hierarchy been immune to being daft?

But…that’s my point!

At least MD doesn’t feel like he has to pick player just because Rice signed them.

We’re second in the table, unbeaten in 8 games and just one defeat in the last 11.

Strangely, I think that we may do better against the top teams. You'd think that there'll be much less "parking the bus", especially in away games. The more open the game, the better we seem to play

...in 2008 (17 years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 90 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 1-0 League Two win over Rochdale at Spotland.

In 2009 (16 years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 74 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a goal-less League Two draw with Rotherham United at Adams Park (replaced by Lewwis Spence).

In 2019 (six years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 87 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 1-0 League One defeat to Gillingham at Adams Park (replaced by Nathan Tyson).

I would go for ‘bizarre’ rather ‘worrying’ personally. It suggests there’s something going on we don’t know about.

Not sure this jury is still ‘out.’ MD just said they’re fit, they’re just not good enough to get into the team. Which is not what we needed in the January window. Wrexham signed Sam Smith.

Did we? I must have missed that. I read that he had scored 7 goals for Chesterfield from 22 appearances in League Two but, if I remember correctly, he hadn’t played much in the lead up to his transfer to Wycombe. I believe he may have been recovering from injury.

Yeah but Kone has only just come back and the others haven't exactly been on fire in recent games. Add in Sadlier when ready and Berry could be way out of it, he's probably wondering why we bought him as much as we are.
