Rochdale 0 Wycombe Wanderers 2 Saturday 16th September 2006 Football League Two ![]() In a game which marked the debut for on-loan QPR midfielder Tommy Doherty, victory at Spotland was a fourth successive clean sheet for Paul Lambert's side but the game was never easy. There was also a larger intake of breath for Wanderers followers in 12 minutes when 'keeper Ricardo Batista clattered into 6ft 8ins Dale striker Morike Sako outside the area, but survived with just a yellow card despite the ball also striking the hand of the Wycombe player. It proved a pivotal moment, as four minutes later Wycombe took the lead with a goal started and finished by Mooney. The experienced striker headed the ball into the path of Russell Martin who pushed forward before returning the ball back inside the area where Mooney smashed the ball home. It could have been 2-0 moments later when Sam Stockley swung over a free kick which Mooney headed down to Jermaine Easter but his usual clinical finished deserted him and his shot was blocked. Easter went close again with a header before the home side attempted to claw their way back into the game in more ways than one. With a Wycombe switching from a back three to a four, frustration for some of the home support spilled over in bizzare fashion when a fan came onto the pitch during the second-half. He was led back to the stands by Sako but more trouble broke out when the pitch invader, plus some of his irate friends, clashed with police and stewards in the far corner of the ground. Several punches and kicks were thrown before the culprits were led away. ![]() ![]() Final Score - Rochdale 0 Wycombe 2
