Match Report Wycombe Reading

 The week has just got a lot worse for Mike Dodds’ Wycombe. A second half penalty from Harvey Knibbs gives three points to Reading’s last-minute play-off push and it leaves Wycombe’s automatic promotion charge looking much more unlikely as the season’s end draws near.

 

The penalty was the deciding factor for these teams as they were like for like with their chances on goal. Adam Reach had a chance to put the blues into the lead with a side-volleyed lob, but Pereira was there to reach it and push it away.

 

The ball did go in after Reach’s lob attempt, by Xavier Simons by was ruled out for offside by the linesman. Wycombe had 17 shots overall in the match with only 4 of those on target, multiple attempts from Reach, Humphries and Kone Wycombe’s leading line we missed, and with over half of in game possession the ball should of gone in the net.

 

The problem is this happened on Tuesday with Shrewsbury. 32 shots, 7 on target, 0 goals. When teams have this many shots at least 1 should go in. For me the problem that needs to be dealt with is goalscoring which is ironic because we were to scorers in the league. Something has to be done or we will not get anywhere, and at this stage of the season it’s all up to play for.
