Match Report: Wycombe Wanderers Vs Northampton Town

 The pre-match excitement was crazy, fans blaring out “Hey Jude,” a big game that with three points could help us take the summit of League One over Birmingham, teams warming up, players looking electric and, it was… awful, just awful.

This blog is just about the game yesterday on the 25th of January. So, let’s get into it.

The game itself was a rollercoaster of multiple emotions excitement, boredom, frustration and edge of your seat action.

We started strong with a Luke Leahy chance from a beautiful pass through but on his weaker foot couldn’t guide it into the corner, the visitors responded with a tap-in from a corner, but it was ruled out for offside. The closest attempts in the first half were a G-Mac dinked cross in the far post and Joe lust had to tap it in but a world-class save from the Northampton Goalkeeper kept it tied. Then at the other end a header led Ravazoli to pull off a “Gordon Banks” save to keep us in the game. The first half was flat, but the sides traded blows.

The half-time entertainment was different from the usual, instead the club invited the four new signings onto the pitch in a warm Adams Park welcome, I’ll be looking forward to them wearing the light and dark blue squares of Wycombe soon.

The second half started like the first, quite slow and tedious but when we brought on the fresh legs of Fred Onyedima and Richard Kone left the last 20 minutes into a basketball match, end to end action. We had chances a beautiful dribble to get past 5 Northampton player from Richard Kone was class, the pass not so much, Fred had a chance to tap in at the near post  chance after chance was wasted and we left with a draw, two points of Birmingham but still in the automatic promotion places the Championship is still on, maybe.
