Poor today obviously but thought Charlton were excellent, their front three difficult to handle. We were going to lose sometime so trying not to be too upset. It’s how we react that counts.
Happy Trevor Day. Bad day at the office but what a goal, especially as we never looked like scoring today. Charlton were very quick in the tackle and nullified our attack...having said that we gifted them the goals.
(I didn't think ink the ref was too bad.)
Had to end some time but sad it's against the Rev.
Lady Commentator said 'time literally running out for Wycombe' about six times in the last ten minutes...she was correct but...
January is going to be a blood pressure tester to be sure.
Morley may return to Bolton on January 1 as part of Evatt game playing. I don’t think Taylor will go back that day though if he is recalled. He’s not going to go straight into West Brom starting eleven if he is recalled so if the recall happens it will probably be after the Huddersfield game.
Wrexham must be the luckiest team in the land ...of all the teams at the top, they are the ones that I least impressed with....just hoofball team and will eventually catch up with them
Having to listen to this commentator made defeat even more painful than it was. But in her defence, a lack of co-commentator and the fact she wasn’t even at the game made the job very difficult. As is the case with all Sky red button games.
And a few "Wycombe heads going down", which they really weren't - we were putting in until the final whistle, not a strong day, but the effort wasn't the issue.
I can't imagine there are huge amounts who watch these games who aren't a fan of either club, so surely they could tie up a deal with the competing clubs to use their commentators?
I like the sky coverage in general and having so many extra games under an existing package with Now tv is great, but it definitely doesn't work having the solo commentator. So yes I'd definitely go along with your idea.
Charlton played well and really pressed us to stop us playing once they’d got the lead.
I was disappointed that we chose today to play Bakinson in Morley’s position for the first half. It really didn’t work. Ultimately I think that cost us the game.
Rav was at fault for the second, he left himself in no man’s land. If he’s on the edge of his 6 yard box, it would significantly increase the chances of not conceding.
I didn’t think the Ref was that bad, he let quite a lot go the whole game. I thought Humphrey’s was fouled before their 2nd but he had let a number of those go already, so arguably he was consistent in that.
The run has come to an end and we’ve had quite a few poor games in December whilst not losing.
next few weeks will be interesting. If that’s the last we see of Morley and/or Taylor then thanks for the memories boys and all the best for the future!
I'm not sure he actually did need to come out, certainly not as far as he did. He was never going to get to the ball, and Leaburn was heading wide with Low in fast pursuit. If Franco was further back, Leaburn doesn't score with the initial shot. Hindsight of course...
I probably agree with you. I was quite suprised to watch him so far off his line.
I was watching on wwfc online .. Brian the co com suggested that Franco had to come out ... and I just kinda went with that as gospel.... but on reflection I feel he was poorly placed

Onwards.
Excellent - both teams were poor on my tele.

There were a couple of "time more than running out for Wycombe" too, made little sense.
Yes. I thought that was a strange phrase to keep repeating.
She was bad, one of the worst Sky have had this season, worst for me was her calling a corner a penalty... twice !!
I think we've had a couple who have been good, shame they can't be left in charge of Wycombe games
Wrexham must be the luckiest team in the land ...of all the teams at the top, they are the ones that I least impressed with....just hoofball team and will eventually catch up with them

Or just pay the commentator mileage to attend the game and pay a club legend £200 a game to be a co-commentator.

You'd have thought so
Maybe he doesn't know himself so just wants to offer some kind of gesture if it does end up being his last appearance.
Agreed. Having a runner from midfield gave us something different. We missed that most of the game.
Charlton played well and really pressed us to stop us playing once they’d got the lead.

I'm irritated by today's result.... and I probably/definitely wouldn't be saying this if we had won.....
But.....
I get we have a great squad and we are doing well in the league because of rotation.....
But come on!!! What team dosnt start their most prolific goalscorer??
A team who have to play six big games in the space of 16 days.
Watching the goals back, Franco's positioning for the second was really poor.
Yep. He stays back and Leaburn has to beat Low and produce a worldy strike.
Easy in hindsight though, as long as he learns from it.
We have 4 games in 9days coming from Wednesday. You can't start him in every game.
Was it? He came out..... he kind of had to..... a flick over his head wherever he came out to would have made no difference.....
Part of me does however wonder if he may have been better scampering back and defending his goal line 🤔
Hindsight wondering though..
I'm not sure he actually did need to come out, certainly not as far as he did. He was never going to get to the ball, and Leaburn was heading wide with Low in fast pursuit. If Franco was further back, Leaburn doesn't score with the initial shot. Hindsight of course...
Why not?
Hes young and fit.
We always started devine, rammel, beavon, Hayes, mooney, mcgliesh ect no matter what if fit to play
Yes we could make him play 60 x 90min a season, but I'm not sure the quality would be there.
Rotation isn't just a gimmick.
I probably agree with you. I was quite suprised to watch him so far off his line.

Football has changed and is a lot more physically demanding.
I know I know.... as I said.. I'm just on one.
I'm not used to this losing nonsense 😕🤣🤔
I'm sure he was guided by the data, although it still feels like today's team should have played at Stevenage. But again, hindsight...
