Joe Jacobson's Wycombe XI
I'm not sure how many of you have been following the interview where JJ reveals his Wycombe eleven of players he has played with, but here is the final lineup:
Stockdale
Sido
Mawson
Charles
Obita
Gape
O'Nien
Eze
Mehmeti
Saunders
Bayo
Some team, that! You know JJ has played alongside some serious talent when he was able to leave out Stryjek, Stewart, Taffs, Grimmer, Scowen, GMac, Wheeler, Thompson, and Vokes, among many others.

I think the diplomatic idea behind his best X1 is that it would not include any of the current squad. Still, that’s a great line up as you say.
Ah, I forgot about that piece, thanks! That makes a lot of sense, as it would be awkward for him in training with the current boys!
I'd imagine if Fred hadn't left in such acrimonious circs. he'd have been in ahead of Saunders
Seems odd to play Mehmeti on the right and Saunders on the left.
I'm trying to recall if Saunders actually played wide left very often, if at all?
But either way it made more sense to reverse the positions.
It’s a hell of a team. Makes you realise how lucky we’ve been. Some outstanding players and personalities.
I think for us, he mainly played as a 10. Then a bit deeper when his legs went.
JJ says in the video it was a toss up between the two but he went for Saunders as he was better on a night out. I sense this might not have been the most seriously taken of exercises.
Oh you're absolutely right. I just know the Couhigs are very reticent to put anything about Fred on any socials at all.
How many times, there was a big office clean that day!
