Wycombe Wanderers - what?

A little bit like Shrewsbury a couple of years ago, Wycombe are over achieving.

This makes our (at the time) disappointing draw against them elevated up to more impressive.

They are playing as a team, well motivated and coached well. Who knows what they can achieve?

I don't like Wycombe for the obvious reasons but very satisfied that there is another way to achieve success without spending countless millions on wages etc, so have a begrudging respect and admiration for their status. Having said that, albeit going about it with gamesmanship leaves alot to be desired..

Perhaps. Unlike Shrews two years ago (when Paul Hurst came in), Wycombe have not changed their manager...which makes their current position all the more astonishing. Where has the fresh momentum come from?

Couple of points;

- The League is piss weak this year.
- On Quest, Ainsworth said they had an element of "luck" with their transfers as they were all "spot on". Pointed out this isn't always the case, even if you get exactly who you want.

Personally I think our 16/17 squad would batter the current one, I just think the League currently is very, very weak.

Try turning the table up the other way.....it makes more sense.

Thanks for the stats on Wycombe GasMacc, good idea for thread.
Have to agree with what people have said about the overall standard this year being lower in League 1. Ainsworth is the new “in-person” on Quest and everything he says Colin Murray seems to take as gospel. Whatever Ainsworth has achieved is well deserved, he speaks well and usually with a lot of common sense. He’s learnt how to manage on low budgets and lower quality players but has learnt the skill of man management and gets the best out of what he’s got. He has probably got Wycombe playing better football with the better players he has now than before and anyone who argues with Derek Adams and John Sheridan (when they were at Plymouth) gets my respect! In the days when DC was here we seemed to do well against them and they both seemed to get on.
The few better quality players he’s got this season with the Couhig money has given him a bigger chance of competing with more teams. Then add his nous, man management and undoubted ability to organise a team defensively, it’s made them a serious team in this weaker league.
However, come the end of the season, I think the better teams will be there or thereabouts. Portsmouth will be there, as will Ipswich, Rotherham won’t be far away. I think Sunderland may struggle to get there because something seems very wrong there and I reckon they missed their chance last season. There are lots of teams like us and Wycombe who are thinking they’ve got half a chance this year to do something, Doncaster, Fleetwood, Blackpool, Coventry. Wycombe will do well to get a play off place and if they did no team would fancy playing them.
UTG!

When I saw this at first, I thought your typing had gone to pot! But no! This one must have passed me by.

Wycombe are still cheats and their ground is at the of an industrial estate. Worst case scenario they get promoted and lose by double digits every week. F*ck 'em.

This fact will be backed by red, yellow cards and penalties conceded. My gut feeling is that we aren't too high up the table on these facts. So I would dispute these fans views.
