Good work from Josh leading up to that. Deserved the pen but don't always get them. At times we've gone down quickly and bit into tackles, Vale certainly won't think we've been reffed harshly today . Solid performance so far.
Brilliant to go up there, end up without your best 3 centrebacks, just after your best player is sold and win like that. Nice Chem chameo at the end and positive we've got some good players here.
Wonder if the FB group are still going on about the hairy biker.
What a performance. That’s vintage Wycombe on a horrible pitch. Another tactical masterclass from Gareth Ainsworth - especially with the perfect subs at the perfect time. So happy.
Whilst I am often the first to whine about GA's "ooh, I'll never be the first to make a sub because then the opposition will counter the sub and screw up your tactics" mantra, that was spot on today.
Vale looked right in the ascendancy once they changed a couple of players...then we countersubbed and it completely neutralised them.
That late equaliser was needed at Portsmouth, keeps us within reach of that last Playoff spot. My concern is we now have no fit senior Centre Backs going in to a tough run of games.
To be honest Grimmer has arguably been our best centre half in the last few months. I’d very much class him as a senior centre back as he can play in a 2 or a 3. They are also well-protected by Scowen and co.
He's been outstanding hasn't he and arguably our best CB since Mawson's injury. Let's hope our makeshift defence makes it through the next few games with us still in the chase. So many teams chasing that sixth spot
So proud of this team. What a response to losing Anis. We also won a penalty, brought on subs at a decent time and saw pigs fly over the stadium, so the stars clearly aligned!

Is that our first pen of the season?
Had one in December 2021!
Good pen from JJ
I was sure we would miss one after so long!

Cracking goal from GMac
First league pen since 11th December 2021
Great goal
Oh damn you McCleary!
(See my score prediction)
You just know this season is going to end with Derby vs Wycombe in the playoff final
On the Vale forum they are blaming the defeat squarely with the ref and a poor January window.
Looking forward to @DevinesWanderers80 and @trevor thoughts on our performance.
Good win that !!
Most impressive part of today for me is that Max hasn’t had a save to make. Brilliantly shielded by McCarthy, Grimmer and Jacobson.
Superb team performance, defended as a team & fairly clinically took our chances, very impressed with them all today.
MoM is going to very tough...
Twelve shots, not one on target. Who needs CB's
Anis who?

Everyone deserves huge credit today, from Gaz to the fans. Well done all.

Superb win, up there with the best aways this year.
Shame Barnsley equalised late, but they dropped points and it keeps Portsmouth a bit further away with their games in hand too.
Hadn't noticed Shrewsbury's little sneak up the table so 3 of the next 4 are play off rivals in effect.

oh and Campbell already seemingly "Wycombised", tracking back already, good lad
The late equaliser was from Barnsley though. Without that we'd have been a point closer to the last play off spot.
However, it also keeps Portsmouth 6 points rather than 4 points behind us, with a game in hand.

Keeps Portsmouth at bay but only a point for Barnsley. I was hoping for a draw.
The last games of the season could be tasty.
Portsmouth v Wycombe
Barnsley v Peterborough
Sheff Wed v Derby
If we can come through the next 4 games and be in 3-4 points of 6th we'll have a huge chance.
