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 16th 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.
