Frustrating game. Really not sure why we made the changes we did after playing 1 game in the previous 14 days. That said, I agree with not starting the new signings. It would send a bad message to a team that's achieved so much if they were shunted out straight away by the new boys. They need to earn their place.

Wasn't all bad, defensively solid again. McCleary had his best game for ages, Kone superb when he came on and Buthcher also did well. Just felt it would've been more winnable if we'd started with Grimmer, Kone and Fred.

I remember when we used to score 2+ a game.

Have we been "found out?"

At least we didn't lose. Clean sheet. Rested players. It's about the bigger picture. Onto Tuesday.

No thanks.

Kone looked another level when he came on. His touches, strength and runs, amazing. He just went up another million quid.

Sonny was a rock and would have had my vote if not for the impact of King.

I don’t think many are giving Northampton much credit here either, we can talk about rotation but they pretty much have an entire team of injured players, and managed that spell in the first half where we looked very uncomfortable.

Taylor (on loan from Charlton) looked more than decent for them, and overall they put in a very “Gazball” style away performance of breaking up play and physicality, only now we’re the ones bemoaning this.

To some extent, but we may already have lost Harvie so imagine if we had won 1-0 but they'd done for Kone!

Those players should have been able to win that game.

All I will say, as emotions are running high here, is we need to fill that gap number 28 had where we can ping passes to the flanks utilising our pace there or open up defences. If Westergaard is that person, great, but if not, we need one. Cam has to come far too deep to get the ball, and our opposition gets to reset.

Sam Grace just took over his second game in charge of a senior team chasing Championship promotion. He made choices with Wycombe front and centre in his mind, and as we’ve found out, his blood runs blue. Yes with hindsight I’m sure he would have tinkered with that line up, but that would be the same with any manager after a ‘disappointing’ game

We just weren’t good enough today. As others have said, other games have gone our way with regards to our rivals, so no major harm done.

But my god, we resist any bid for Kone. The man gets better with every game.

I also partly blame the result of me travelling to AP, we never win when I turn up.

We can be Avis to their Hertz

Probably why we're trying to rest other players

Our front 3 are all 2nd string, and none of them have put in any show of trying to change that.

Even Scowen has been dragged into the curse of not knowing how to play football
