In the wake of Storm Otto, we dashed down the M40 to the lofty heights of Adams Park to face the Chairboys of High Wycombe, founded by a group of young furniture workers in 1887.

Wycombe supporters will always have a special place in our hearts after their kind messages of support displayed in our hour of need, when we sent our youth team during the Dark Ages in August 2019.

The Rebellion IPA in their fanzone was most welcome but the cost-of-living crisis reared its ugly head, with admittedly quite decent pies, on sale at £7 each and no returnable deposit.

After our two fantastic 5-0 wins, hopes were high we could keep the good run of results going, although this was tempered by the fact we have never got a point at Wycombe and indeed we have never even scored there.

As players are returning from injury and suspensions, Ian Evatt had the dilemma of whether to change a winning team, which provoked an even split of opinions among the fans. He went for bringing back Conor Bradley with Declan John on the bench.

Wycombe declared their intentions very early as Scowen took out Bradley for a deserved yellow card and continued the physical stuff throughout the match, particularly with our younger players like Shola Shoretire - all part of their education, you might say.

There was not a great deal between the sides but Wycombe just about edged it overall as we seemed to be a little under par. They caught us napping with a well-taken goal, deep into first-half stoppage time. We did not deserve to win but we did not deserve to lose either and if Gethin Jones’ shot had not come back off the bar or the referee had gone to Specsavers before he was the only person in the ground who did not see the blatant push on Cameron Jerome late on, it could have been a different story.

We need to put this result behind us now and respond in the right manner, both in the much-anticipated semi-final at Accrington on Wednesday and in the forthcoming league matches against Port Vale and Portsmouth. One match at a time has to be the way forward.
