Match Report Wycombe Wanderers Vs Barnsley

 King Kone there again as the inform Ivorian proves his worth once again to this club with such an important brace at the death to save the promotion push.

What a game that was and what three pints we have salvaged with seconds remaining. Gareth McCleary proving even at 37 what an impact his experience has on this club with the cross that led Richard Kone to tower over the Barnsley defence and crash a searing header into the back of the net, the scene were incredible, normally Tuesday nights are boring affairs that lead to a Wycombe loss, but not this one, this one was started slow but by the end it was thrilling and incredible.

Wycombe started the first seven or so minutes strong a handful of chances but none that the front three could put away. The first blood came to the visitors with a stunning outside the box half volley which came from poor marking and tracking back from Fred Onyedima which left the left-back acres of space to put it into the middle, a bad clearance header from Declan Skura let the ball land at the foot of the number three Russel to let rip a shot and with a lucky deflection of Skura go past Ravizoli into his net.

Barnsley played the entirety of the fist half like they were playing the last minutes of stoppage time, from minute one the goalkeeper was taking a good 20 seconds on goal kicks and the outfield players were pushing the bar with throw-ins and some audaciously risky challenges from Barnsley’s Marc Roberts. There was only one yellow card in the first half of bad challenges.

The second half started with Wycombe on the front foot with chances in the first could of minutes. The pressure was rewarded with clip on Fred to give the Blues a penalty. Richard Kone dispatched it, and the game was tied again.

The rest of the game played out with a red card for, you guessed Connor Roberts a terrible of the ball slide tackle was met with a red card. Ten men Barnsley held on until Gareth McCleary put the ball, on a silver pate for Kone to head home his second of the game and 16^th of the season- now League One’s leading goal-scorer.

It was thrilling but more poor displays from Bez Lubala- he just could not get into the game like with Northampton on Saturday, Fred Onyedima- he was weak in the challenge, no tracking back and just his overall game was poor, and Tyreeq Bakinson- gave away a silly and unnecessary yellow card and his passing was poor which led to several Barnsley chances. New signing Magnus Westeraard made his first Wanderers appearance, did some good stuff, I’m looking forward to him being a regular.
