BURY 1 WYCOMBE 3
(Saturday 30th April 2011)
A superb gritty performance at Bury produced a 3-1 victory for the Wanderers and left Gary Waddock's side needing a win in their last game of the season at home to Southend United to ensure automatic promotion back to 'League One'. Fielding an unchanged side and backed by close to 700 supporters, Wycombe fell behind in the 10th minute after Michael Jones' shot smashed into the arm of Dave Winfield and Ryan Lowe netted from the resulting penalty as he sent Nikki Bull the wrong way. News then filtered through that 3rd place contenders Shrewsbury had taken the lead at Cheltenham. That was the worse case scenario for Wycombe but on 20 minutes a cross from Stuart Lewis towards the far side of the six yard box saw Gareth Ainsworth beat the challenge and head home to make the scores level give Wanderers hope. Urged on by the travelling faithful, Kevin Betsy went close minutes in the second period before the crucial goal came in the 63rd minute when Ainsworth curled in a low cross from the right wing that eventually found the out stretched leg of Ben Strevens who managed to direct the ball home from six yard. The remainder of the game was a nervous affair for Wanderers but the tension was relieved with two minutes of normal time remaining when a Scott Donnelly corner from the left saw Winfield head goalwards and Strevens turn and shoot home the loose ball for his second and Wycombe's third to spark joyous celebrations in front of the away fans. So it's now onto Southend United at home next Saturday (7th May) with a Wycombe victory guaranteeing automatic promotion. Wycombe:Bull, Foster, Winfield, Johnson, Sandell, Ainsworth (sub 81 Bloomfield), Lewis, Donnelly, Betsy, Rendell (sub 85 Montrose), Strevens - subs not used: Arnold, Bennett, McCoy, Kiernan, Taylor - Att:6,238 (away 679) |

WYCOMBE 2 CREWE 0
(Monday 25th April 2011)
Scott Rendell scored twice and Nikki Bull saved a penalty as Wanderers forced their way back into third spot with a 2-0 victory over Crewe Alexendra at Adams Park on Holiday Monday. Wanderers had enjoyed the better of the first half when Rendell finally broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute when he glanced home Andy Sandell's cross. However, the home cheers turned to groans moments later when Shaun Miller was adjudged to have been fouled by Danny Foster in the Wycombe box. However, Bull, none too pleased with the decision stood up to deny Clayton Donaldson from the resulting spot kick. Amazingly, in first half stoppage time, Wycombe were then awarded a penalty of their own after Gareth Ainsworth was tripped and Rendell sent Rhys Taylor the wrong was from the spot to make the half-time score 2-0 to Wycombe. Rendell could have grabbed his hat-trick on 78 minutes when Wycombe were awarded another penalty, this time for a handball against Adam Dugdale but Taylor blocked the kick and also reacted well to keep out Rendell's follow-up. Crewe threatened briefly to hit back but victory for Wycombe never looked in danger and with the news that Shrewsbury had drawn with Accrington coming through at the final whistle, Wanderers go into the final two games of the season knowing that automatic promotion is now firmly back in their own hands - indeed victory at second placed and already promoted Bury next Saturday coupled with fourth placed Shrewsbury losing at Cheltenham, would see Gary Waddock's side promoted before the final game of the season at home to Southend United on Saturday 7th May. Wycombe:Bull, Foster, Winfield, Johnson, Sandell, Donnelly (sub 70 Bloomfield), Lewis, Ainsworth (sub 63 McCoy), Strevens, Betsy, Rendell - subs not used: Arnold, Kiernan, Bennett, McCoy, McClure - Att:4,615 (away 115) |

TORQUAY 0 WYCOMBE 0
(Friday 22nd April 2011)
Wanderers let automatic promotion slip out of their own hands following a 0-0 draw at fifth placed Torquay United on Good Friday. In sunny conditions Wycombe were on the back foot for most of the game and had Nikki Bull to thank once again for keeping the opposition at bay. The Wycombe 'keeper saved a third minute effort from former Wanderer Chris Zebroski as the home side took the early initiative. However, neither 'keeper was seriously troubled in the opening 45 minutes with Wanderers' best chance coming five minutes before the break when Matt Bloomfield forced former Wanderer loanee Scott Beavon into a save. The second period was a much higher tempo. Seconds after the restart former Wanderers loanee Guy Branston saw a header hit the post and it set the tone for a half when the Wanderers defence came under severe pressure. Bull was on top form again with his save of the day coming in the 68th minute with a flying stop to deny Branston following a Kevin Nicholson corner. Craig Stanley and Nicholson were also denied late on by Bull, while Billy Kee blasted wide from 12 yardson 85 minutes with just Bull to beat.
Wycombe:Bull, Foster, Winfield, Johnson, Sandell, Donnelly, Lewis, Ainsworth (sub 76 Strevens), Bloomfield (su 87 Montrose), Betsy, Rendell - subs not used: Arnold, Murtagh, Bennett, McCoy, McClure - Att:4,009 (away 497) |

RESERVES WIN AT SHOTS
(Tuesday 19th April 2011)
Wanderers fielded three triallists during a 3-2 Combination victory at Aldershot Town on Tuesday afternoon. 22 year old winger Mike Gosney scored a late winner for the Wanderers and he was joined by fellow Totton player Mike Green playing at left-back. The other triallist is reported to have been Exeter City striker James Norwood. Wanderers took the lead in the first half when Matt Bloomfield tapped in from close range after Matt McClure stole possession from The Shots. Gosney then set up Norwood to put Wanderers 2-0 up at the break. However, the home side hit back as the game drew to a close with Andre Landell smashing home an effort into the top corner before Reece Connolly equalised from a penalty after Charles Dunne had been penalised for handball. However, in the dying moments Keiran Murtagh ran through from midfield and despite seeing his shot saved, Gosney was on hand to grab the winner. Reserves info 2010/11 |

WYCOMBE 2 NORTHAMPTON 2
(Saturday 16th April 2011)
Wanderers came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 for the second week running as they were frustrated by a battling display from fourth from bottom Northampton Town on Saturday at Adams Park. With Gareth Ainsworth still missing through injury, Wanderers found themselves a goal down on 20 minutes after Andy Sandell was adjudged to have fouled Paul Rodgers in the Wycombe box and Sahun Harrad drove the resulting penalty down the middle to beat Nikki Bull. The situation got worse for Wanderers in the 37th minute when Guillem Bauza was afforded too much space in the penalty area and slotted home into the bottom left corner of the Valley End net. A more determined Wanderers flew out in the second period and finally grabbed a goal back on 51 minutes when Scott Donnelly nipped in to squeeze the ball home and set up the revival. However, Wanderers still found it difficult to break down The Cobblers and it took an all or nothing approach from Gary Waddock with the introduction of striker Stuart Beavon for Lewis Montrose and midfielder Matt Bloomfield for Danny Foster before the equaliser came. The hero was Leon Johnson who rose highest from Scott Donnelly's 82nd minute corner to head past Steve Collis in the visitors goal and raise hopes of a late victory. But Wanderers had to settle for a point and are now just a point ahead of fourth placed Shrewsbury with a visit to fifth place Torquay United (5 points behind) set for next Friday before entertaining Crewe Alexendra on Holiday Monday. Wycombe:Bull, Foster (sub 82 Bloomfield), Winfield (sub HT Westwood), Johnson, Sandell, Donnelly, Lewis, Montrose (sub 62 Beavon), Betsy, Rendell, Pittman - subs not used: Arnold, Murtagh, Strevens, McCoy - Att:5,161 (away 500 approx) |

Reports in the Daily Mail on Saturday 9th April claimed the player was loanee Scott Donnelly. However, Kuhl wouldn't be drawn on details, commenting to the Bucks Free Press, "I made a split second error of judgement and it’s cost me. It was nothing major but it was the club’s policy. The decision may have been forced upon me." Meanwhile, Manager Gary Waddock, who has worked with Kuhl for four years, added, "I’d like to thank him for helping me over the years. The relationship we had both at Aldershot and at Wycombe was excellent." |

OXFORD UTD 2 WYCOMBE 2
(Saturday 9th April 2011)
Backed by a following approaching 1,800, Wanderers scored two goals within four second half minutes to come back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Oxford United on Saturday. Fielding two changes from the side that drew 0-0 at Hereford (Stuart Lewis and Andy Sandell replacing Scott Donnelly and the injured Gareth Ainsworth), Wanderers were eventually punished for giving the home side too much space in front of goal when Alfie Potter fired home on 34 minutes from just outside the penalty area following a through ball from Simon Heslop. Stuart Beavon was forced off shortly afterwards with a knee injury and his replacement, Jon-Paul Pittman, almost snatched an equaliser with a chip that come off the top of the cross bar. But Wanderers task got harder eight minutes after the restart when Potter's low cross from the right was turned into his own net by Dave Winfield. The goal sparked an almost immediate reaction from Manager Gary Waddock who replaced Marvin McCoy with Scott Donnelly. Shortly afterwards on 63 minutes Wanderers pulled a goal back when Scott Rendell directed a header back past Ryan Clarke in the United goal following Sandell's floated cross. Three minutes later Wanderers were level when Betsy floated a crossed from the right to far side of the box where Pittman controlled and finished in style with a low shot into the opposite corner of the net. It was now Wanderers in the assendency although both sides had chances to win the game. Winfield came closest for Wanderers when he nearly made amends for his own goal but he couldn't quite get the direction on a header from inside the box. At the other end Nikki Bull once again came to Wycombe's rescue when he blocked a close range effort from Tom Craddock with four minutes left on the clock. In the end a draw was probable a fair result with the point seeing Wanderers remain second in the table with 69 points from 41 games. Bury are third (68 from 40), Shrewsbury fourth (66 from 41), followed by Torquay, Stevenage, Gillingham and Accrington all on 64 points from 41 games. Next game for the Wanderers, at home to fourth from bottom Northampton Town on Saturday 16th April. Wycombe:Bull, McCoy (sub 55 Donnelly), Winfield, Johnson, Foster, Betsy, Montrose, Lewis, Sandell (sub 88 Westwood), Rendell, Beavon (sub 36 Pittman) - subs not used: Arnold, Murtagh, Strevens, Kiernan - Att:9,309 (away 1,796) |

(Thursday 7th April 2011)
Wanderers Under 18's made it through to the national Final of the Football League Youth Alliance League Cup following a 1-0 victory over Southend United at Adams Park on Thursday evening. The only goal of a tense encounter came on 8 minute when Lee Weemes struck home from close range after good work from Nathan Olukanmi. Ryan Ware went close to extending the lead before the break when his effort struck the crossbar before the visitors eventually began to press in the latter stages only for Matt Ingram in the Wanderers goal to deny them via a fine save from Della Verde's close range effort with nine minutes remaining, thus helping to secure Wanderers' passage to the final where they will take on Darlington at a venue and date to be arranged.

HEREFORD 0 WYCOMBE 0
(Tuesday 5th April 2011)
Wanderers stumbled to a 0-0 at Hereford United on Tuesday evening, with 'keeper Nikki Bull again performing heriocs to prevent the home side from registering only their fourth home League victory of the season. Against the side that had dumped Wanderers out the FA Cup back in January, the better greater number of chances to fall to Gary Waddock's side but it wasn't until the closing stages that Adam Bartlett in the home goal was tested. Prior to that the closest Wanderers came to breaking the deadlock came when substitute Andy Sandell saw an effort hit the upright. Bull, playing with a slight injury from Saturday's encounter with Stockport, then produced his now obligatory point saving stops, the pick being when he thwarted Stuart Fleetwood. Sandell forced a late save from Bartlett with a header but with game ending goalless Wanderers remain in 2nd spot in the table, two points ahead of Shrewsbury and having now played the same amount of games. Bury are 4th, three points behind but with a game in hand over the Wanderers. Next game, away to Oxford United on Saturday (9th April). Wycombe:Bull, McCoy, Winfield, Johnson, Foster, Ainsworth (sub 65 Sandell), Montrose, Donnelly (sub 70 Murtagh), Betsy, Beavon, Rendell (sub 65 Pittman) - subs not used: Arnold, Kiernan, Strevens, McClure. - Att:1,633 (away 178) |

WYCOMBE 2 STOCKPORT 0
(Saturday 2nd April 2011)
A relatively solid first performance from the Wanderers set Gary Waddock's side on their way to a comfortable 2-0 victory over bottom club Stockport County at Adams Park on Saturday. After Nikki Bull had kept out an early effort from County's Anthony Elding, the breakthrough came on 10 minutes when Gareth Ainsworth chased up his blocked free-kick to take the ball to the right bye line before centering for Lewis Montrose to fire past Matthew Glennon in the visitors goal via the right hand upright. More Wycombe pressure prior to the break was rewarded on 41 minutes when Adam Griffin handled Ainsworth's ball into the box from the right and Scott Rendell once again cooling slotted home the resulting spot-kick. From that point on the result never looked in danger and Stuart Beavon, Kevin Betsy and Rendell also came close to adding to the scoreline. With the majority of the other clubs in the promotion places winning, the three points were vital in keeping Wanderers in second spot in the table ahead of Tuesday evening's visit to Hereford United and next Saturday trip to Oxford United. Wycombe:Bull, McCoy, Winfield, Johnson, Foster, Ainsworth (sub 73 Murtagh), Montrose, Donnelly (sub 80 Scowen), Betsy, Beavon, Rendell (sub 83 Sandell) - subs not used: Arnold, Pittman, Kiernan, McClure - Att:6,836 (Community day - away 150 approx) |
