What if that Oxford player had chased down the Grimmer hospital pass instead of whining to the ref in the playoff final? In a flash we had a penalty at the other end.
What if Sam Saunders hadn't got injured in the fourth minute of the 2015 play-off final against Southend? We might now be playing in the National League.
I once witnessed Stan, weighing in players who were on loan at other clubs, in the Barnet supporters Bar.
Barry was prompting Stan how much to shell out. It was quite a surreal experience and done in front of everyone. I'm sure it was all above board and legal !!
Dragging things back to to the Sanchez era, what if Sean Devine didn't have his mystery recurring knee injury and either became our record goalscorer (maybe even getting the winner in the FA Cup semi-final vs Liverpool), or us selling him for a club record fee helped strengthen the squad to gain promotion to Division 1 (or "Championship" for any kids reading).
Also, what if someone with some vague semblance of man-management skills had looked after Stuart Roberts and allowed him to fulfil his undoubted potential.

That was the basis a BFP April fools day story a long time back, although I think it was a suspension bridge.
Here I go again.
WHS ?

This thread has everything
I know we had a few Ainsworth ones - did we have one about what if Waddock hadn't brought him on what was intended to be a short term loan?
Arguably the most important player signing we've ever made in hindsight!

What if I never shouted F off Sanchez at tranmere away on a cold Tuesday night in September. Would he still be here now!

What if Runcorn's prolific striker Mark Carter hadn't turned us down because of the travelling distance.
Only to sign for Barnet a few months later.
Barry and Stan could obviously offer him something we couldn't. Whatever could it have been?

Or that Oxford player didn't inexplicably duck that high ball.
It was four seconds, not four minutes. Literally straight from kick off!
Yes, that's my memory of it but according to Wikipedia he went off in the fourth minute.
3 minutes of treatment I suppose.
Almost like Southend were targeting our most creative player...
I think it wasn’t even a tackle, he just went down. Happy to stand corrected.
Two late goals rescued a Trophy replay for Jim Kelman’s blues against the Met Police….

Gas room joy as Keith Scott replaces Gareth Ainsworth as Wycombe boss
Maidstone away, FA Cup 1978?
He was smashed in a tackle right after kick off.
No question it was that which caused him to come off. Even if it wasn't immediately.
Wow. How different my football-supporting life would have been! I could have been competing at the top of the score prediction table…
What if the tea bars still served tea from a massive teapot just like they did at Loakes Park

What if Beanhead hadn't moved to Barnsley?
Is that where he went?!
Aye. A Barnsley season ticket holder last time I saw him
I believe maidenhead have played in every FA Cup competition
Like us they have also reached the FA Cup semi-final, albeit in 1874!
