WYCOMBE 1 SHEFFIELD WEDS 0
(Saturday 31st October 2020)
A first half stoppage time header from David Wheeler was enough to see Wanderers earn their first ever Championship victory - overcoming Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Adams Park. The result came with an unchaged staring XI for Wycombe from the one that had drawn midweek to Watford but who saw Richard Dobson take on the caretaker Manager role after Gareth Ainsworth was ruled out from attending due to recovering from a back operation. The decisive goal came following another assist from a Joe Jacobson corner. The result leaves Wycombe on 4 points from their opening 9 Championship games and sitting one place above bottom placed Wednesday who have minus 4 points following their 12 point deduction at the start of the season.
Wycombe: Allsop, Grimmer, Jacobson, Stewart, Wheeler (sub 71 Onyedinma), Kashket, Knight, Horgan, Thompson, Akinfenwa (sub 72 Ikpeazu), Adeniran (sub 55 Bloomfield) – subs not used: Stockdale, Samuel, Mehmeti, Tafazolli

WYCOMBE 1 WATFORD 1
(Tuesday 27th October 2020)
Wanderers finally recorded their first ever Championship point with a deserved 1-1 draw with Watford in the live Sky Sports game at Adams Park. Ismaila Sarr had headed the visitors into the lead against the run of play seven minutes into the second period, but the point was earned when Anthony Stewart headed home Joe Jacobson's corner on 66 minutes.

RECORD RUN OF LEAGUE DEFEATS
(Saturday 24th October 2020)

NORWICH 2 WYCOMBE 1
(Saturday 24th October 2020)
A hugely disputed stoppage-time free-kick netted by Mario Vrancic saw Wycombe fall to a cruel 2-1 defeat at Norwich City. The seventh straight League defeat came after Wanderers had conceeded a third minute goal from Teemu Pukki following a slip by Ryan Allsop in the Wycombe goal. It looked ominous then for Gareth Ainsworth's side but an equaliser by Scott Kashket on 12 minutes followed by an encourging rear-guard action looked to have been enough to earn a first point at this level. However, Fred Onyedinma was adjudged to have tripped Vrancic on the edge of the box in the first minute of stoppage time at the end of the 90 and the same player stepped up to steal all three points for the former Premier League side. City's Adam Idah was red-carded in the fifth minute of stoppage-time for rasing his arms at Joe Jacobson.
Wycombe: Allsop, Grimmer, Jacobson, Stewart, Knight, Adeniran, Thompson, Wheeler (sub 90+3 Akinfenwa), Onyedinma, Horgan (sub 84 Bloomfield), Kashket (sub 69 Ikpeazu) - subs: Stockdale, Phillips, Samuel, Mehmeti

READING 1 WYCOMBE 0
(Tuesday 20th October 2020)
Wycombe lost for a sixth consecutive time in the Championship after Reading scored with their only shot target throughout the 90 minutes. Wanderers had more than held their own in the opening hour before Lucas Joao's spark of individual brilliance saw him net the only goal of the evening on 63 minutes. Substitute Fred Onyedinma came closest to equalising for Wycombe during stoppage time. Wycombe now face relegated Premier League sides Norwich City and Watford in their next two Championship games.

WYCOMBE 1 MILLWALL 2
(Saturday 17th October 2020)
Wanderers bagged their first Championship goal with a scrappy effort from Scott Kashket on 9 minutes but still ended up as the losing side as Millwall left Adams Park with a 2-1 victory. Kashket forced the ball home after an error by Millwall 'keeper Bartosz Bialkowksi but the visitors eventally hit back with a Jed Wallace penalty on 48 minutes after Matt Smith had been adjudged to have been pushed over. Wycombe then controversially saw a 'goal' ruled out when Joe Jacobson's corner went straight in at the far post but the effort was ruled out for what was believed to be an infringement on Bialkowksi. That decision was made to look even worse for Wanderers when Ryan Leonard struck home from the edge of the box on 63 minutes for the winner. Wycombe included new signing Josh Knight in their starting line-up, while 38-year-old Adebayo Akinfenwa was given his Championship debuts as a second-half substitute, along with 19-year-old Anis Mehmeti making his Wanderers debut.
Wycombe: Allsop, Grimmer, Jacobson, Stewart, Wheeler, Kashket, Knight, Thompson, Onyedinma (sub 66 Horgan), Adeniran (sub 77 Mehmeti), Samuel (sub 64 Akinfenwa) – subs not used: Stockdale, Bloomfield, Charles, Freeman

There was still no joy for Wanderers on their Championship debut as second-half goals conceded at Luton Town saw a 2-0 defeat. Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu curled in the opener on 59 minutes but Wycombe survived further damage and thought they had grabbed an equaliser on 87 minutes – but Scott Kashket’s effort was ruled out for a marginal offside. Elliot Lee sealed victory for the hosts two minutes later with a tap-in from Kazenga LuaLua's assist.
