Re: Other Football
Just a word about McClean tonight, as I've often posted a bit of dislike for him.
But thought he handled a lot of abuse well tonight, smiling it off. Even at one stage where a massive steward had to literally form a physical barrier cm from him trying to take a throw in to stop people chucking stuff. Whilst a couple of other stewards had to stop a couple of shimmering apes trying to get at him.
He literally barely had room to take the throw in the steward was so close, but he clearly recognised the risk of the situation that close to their fans, so got it done and got out of there quick!
Re: Other Football
My heart will always want him back.... but my head tells me he wouldn't suit our current set up and way we want to play.
He came in at the right time and probably got out at the right time. He will forever be our hero for saving us from non league obscurity and getting us into the Championship for the 1st time in our history. Forever a Wycombe legend.
I wouldn’t want to taint that for him.....or for us.
Right now I'm happy watching him mastermind the Shrews away from relegation.
Never say never.... but right now we need someone.... but not Gaz.
Re: Other Football
Still a lot of work to be done but some brilliant wins.
More of the same when they play Huddersfield please assuming that's re-arranged for a soon date.
Re: Other Football
I really do think that Wrexham will not be in the top two and Huddersfield pose more of a threat to us than they do. Wrexham have climbed the leagues below with McClean, Mullin and Fletcher, who are all aging players and past their best.
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
I’ll add one more too…went through school with Pat Lynott, former Wycombe youth teamer (captain during a good Youth Cup run?). He was a couple of years older and different gravy as you’d expect. A few years after falling out of the game with an injury and hard luck he did my gym induction! To think, he ‘nearly’ scored against Celtic in the Cousins testimonial. What might’ve been.
Anyway, next manager…I think you’d need to be ITK of the ITK to figure that out right now.
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
I’ve been out all day so only just catching up.
I’ve been guilty, in my anguish, of called out those close to the throne who had been notable by there absence on the Gasroom, in these troubled times, so thank you @glasshalffull for your considered and thoughtful post; actually calmed things down a tad for me. As you say without owners with deep pockets in the modern game we have nothing so let’s hope it all goes the way we want.
If you do still have sway please explain to the new guys in charge that warmth empathy and communication with the core fan base is worthy of their valuable management time.
As for the autobiography title perhaps ‘Amazing things can happen after a chance encounter in the gents’ would garner some pr traction?
Re: Rumour Mill
I'm like you. I'm not sure who on earth it'd suddenly change the mind of, when considering whether to go to a game.
Driving out on some rickety trail on a narrow road out to West Wycombe? Not sure it'd change anyone's mind, as those parking in that upper field must already be comfy with the wait, or they'd find a different option anyway. And we wouldn't be increasing the parking capacity at the ground either.
But I think the real reason was a 2nd road would allow us to get the certificate to upgrade the 9,000 capacity limit closer to the 10,000 we could hold.
