Wycombe Wanderers (h) - 15:00 Boxing Day 2020 - Matchday thread

[Lanterne Rouge]

And WRDC, after holding on since the 20th minute with ten men lose in the 96th.

Oh dear, never mind.

[Robin Wood]

The sooner we are safe and this season is over the better we will end up playing our under 18s with the injuries we are getting

Victory for City. That will upset some on here. One point off play offs but some are happier talking about relegation.

I don’t think that will upset anyone on here . But people are pissed off with how shit the football has been for a while. And rightly so IMO. 

[Jerseybean]

Overwhelming feeling is relief, not pretty, not convincing but three points. Hopefully the ZV and COD injuries aren’t anything serious otherwise we will have arguably every one (bar DB)  of our best players out injured. TK MoM.

[Red Exile]

Big win...against what was a really poor side. 

We struggle to impose our game on even the the weakest of opposition. Is that the injuries, as Tins suggests, or is it that Holden doesn't know what he wants or how to get it out of his team?...either way it would be great to see it sorted!

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

Not pretty but I'll take the win. Having said that we made it difficult for ourselves. We created 4 or 5 really clear cut openings which had we been more clinical could have put the game out of sight long before Fam scored. Sadly, lack of a decent first touch or composure let us down. 

Kalas and Nagy were absolutely suoerb in snuffing out the threat from Wycombe and share man of the match for me.

Fam has to start!

Not sure. He's been doing a great job coming off the bench when defences are tired.

[Jacki]

Massive relief and a really important win. I thought we played well in the first half but that was ropey again after the break. I still reckon Stoke away is the only properly convincing performance I’ve seen all season.

Still, we’ll take that all day long. Onto the next one now.

Happy with the result but mainly because it's a little confidence boost for the players. With our terrible injury trend and other weaknesses we are showing (linked to injuries or not) i fear we won't get many other wins soon

[Reigate Red]

Just relieved to have got three points. That though is not really how it should be at home against the bottom team who really only got to the championship by a good measure of luck. Things need to improve in 2021 on many fronts.

Diedhiou, Diedhiou,

Famara Diedhiou.

When he hits the ball, it becomes a goal,

They`ll be celebrating in the streets of Knowle tonight - or they would if they weren`t in Tier 3

[miketh2nd]

Didnt watch or listen , how was our midfield? 

[Tin Soldier]

Great win, well done City. BUT the warning signs are there for all to see, regardless of injuries.

[Ska Junkie]

That was sooo poor again and Fammy got us out of the crap there. Unlucky Wycombe.

No doubt Fam will be off in January which really doesn't bode well.

Losing the urge to watch us at the mo as its really very boring.

Shithouse FC 2- Wycombe 1.

BORED!

Nagy was as good as ever. Bakinson still learning.

It’s true.

Need to improve the entertainment if they want to get more than 50% of fans back in due course

[Alex_BCFC]

So the guy who people seem to think should leave seems to be our only match winner. 

[RedM]

An ugly win to take the 3 points. Wycombe must be rightly gutted they didn’t get at least a point though.

Yeh general thoughts I saw on him were he has had his time and we can do better. 

[Major Isewater]

Should we really be celebrating a win against the bottom of the table team who sneaked into the Championship almost by luck?

Damn right we should .

A win is a win and full credit to players and staff for ‘ battling’ .

Make no mistake that  was an absolutely vital victory.

Imagine if we had lost . 

Well done lads and as Famaral might say ‘ pick ‘e out the stingers’

I must’ve missed this. We would be absolutely crazy to let him go imho. 

[Denbury Red]

With the injuries we’ve got - to beat any championship team is success on the day.

First half was ok - but Wycombe changed the way they played which stopped us playing - and we had no second plan. 
 

Was that down to the quality of the players in our team - or the Management not giving them clear instructions on how to implement Plan B.

Hopefully injuries to COD and ZV aren’t serious!  

[Curr Avon]

Just been on RB. SUPERFAM, poor performance, but we got the win. It doesn't mask an awful second half, but must instil some confidence in the team. Fam MUST start against Luton. 

[Ska Junkie]

For clarity, I would like to see Fam stay but think he will be off in January, sadly. No evidence, just think he will be gone.

As is Semenyo who, has frightening potential.

These two could go to the very top.

As are .Vyner  and Moore 

We have some really good talent developing. 

[Harry]

Not a beautiful performance but a helluva strike to win it. 

Our best performers today were the stand outs due to their abilities off the ball - Kalas, Nagy, Vyner. 
However, with the ball Cod had a very good first half. Semenyo had a couple of good moments and Bakinson had one sublime through ball. 
That aside, we struggled in possession (again). That’s a real concern for me. 

[wendyredredrobin]

Nice to get the 3 points, but we shouldn't have been giving the ball away so much when we were ahead.

2 more injuries added to the already long list is a big worry.  The way things are going, the tea lady will be in the squad for the next game.
