Match Report Wycombe vs Lincon City

Wycombe 1-0 Lincoln. This game was big for the Blues. After the loss to Wrexham and a nervy 3-2 win against Rotherham, Dodds had to prove that he could win comfortably. Wrexham's fixtures are only getting easier as we progress into the latter stages of the season. We needed a win

The game started slow and Wycombe did what is now so common in Dodds' reign. Keep the ball for too long and not do anything with it. Too many times we would have the ball at the edge of the box and instead of shooting, we would try the extra pass which normally lead to us loosing the ball. At the end of the match, I said to my friend, "It's like we are allergic to taking shots". Throughout the whole match I was begging for us to have a shot. Multiple times Xavier Simons had a chance to shoot but made the unnecessary pass instead.

The ref had more of a shocker than Lincoln's number 15 who was given a straight red for a studs up challenge off the pitch. This ref missed three handballs in the penalty area and a challenge by the goalie on Richard Kone. The goalie grabbed Kone's legs and pulled him down.

We luckily broke the deadlock in the 66th minute through Camron Humphreys. A penetrative pass was played through the defence to him 1 on 1 with with the goalie, he sat him down sent a defender leading him to slide into his own net for Humphreys to score in an open, empty goal.

We won by the skin of our teeth but a win is a win.

The harsh truth about Wycombe is that we don't look like scoring and when we do score we will have to score two or three because we aren't solid defensively. For me I'm not a fan of Dodds and if, if we get promoted I think the board should reconsider their options. We need an experienced manager not Dodds. Not a nervous wreck on the touchline.

Match Report- Wycombe Wanderers Vs AFC Wrexham

 A huge match for Wycombe- 2nd vs 3rd. Wrexham three points separating us from them. A win would hopefully lead us one step closer to promotion. Mike Dodds had to change some things up, we needed to be more attacking a lot of pressure was resting on the boys. 

The game was poor no side looked like scoring. It didn't look like a 2nd vs 3rd clash. Wycombe and Wrexham had chances. Fred Onydima missed a glorious chance to put us one up and Sam Smith hit the post in the second half.

The game was delayed due to a Wrexham fan collapsing and needing CPR. The game was called of for 40 minutes and the packed out ground slowly thinned as fans made their way to the exists. The game was resumed eventually. Wycombe had a corner and Joe Low was denied by a stunning save by the goalie.

Wrexham's pressure came off with a stunning strike by Sam Smith in the 78th minute. After Wycombe put all the pressure of the but Wrexham hold firm and won the game. Wrexham now have the a 6 point gap min  second and we don't look like scoring. It will come down to the last few matches to decide our fate but for now our future is unknown. We go again COYB

Match Report WWFC vs Birmingham

 The biggest game of 2025 and I had the privilege of being there. Birmingham city the team at the top of the league were the hosts of a thrilling encounter between the top two.


Wycombe came into this game with a rather tedious and poor performance against Wigan the week before and were hoping to make a nuisance of themselves at st Andrews. The Blues welcomed back club Captain Jack Grimmer back at right back and League One's top goalscorer Richard Kone in the striker spot

The Blues in the first twenty five minutes were absolutely dominanted. We had very little ball and Birmingham's passing was next level. The midfield maestros for Birmingham ran the show. Barcelona academy product Paik Seung-Ho and former Celtic man Tomoki Iwata ran the show.

The first goal came when a long ball from former Wycombe goalkeeper Ryan Allsop played a long ball over the top for the onrushing Taylor Gardener-Hickman to take down on the chest, swivel and shoot at Will Norris. Norris did well from the initial save but the ball was moving do fast that when it hit his hand the ball span up and backwards into the net. In a later interview Mike Dodds stated that it was a "crap goal" to concede.

Things couldn't get any worse for the blues until Xavier Simons did a studs op ankle challenge on Birmingham fullback Ethan Laird. The midfielder had done so well to track back but the tackle was poor and we paid for it.

We thought that this could end in an absolute thrashing but even with ten men Birmingham could not find a way in the second half. Paik and Iwata were rendered useless as we looked for an equaliser. Ryan Allsop pulled of some of the saves of the season when he denied Joe Low from under three yards out. Allsop came of injured late on in the second half.

The game finished 1-0 but if we play like we did in the second half we could still go up. COYB.

The experience of Birmingham was unbelievable even at 11 I the morning there was a pub with two bouncers on two doors. St Andrews was very impressive and the atmosphere was incredible. St Andrews had a stadium Dj blasting out tunes. If we go up go to St Andrews it is incredible. The best part of Birmingham though was the road out of Birmingham.
