Wycombe Wanderers 1 Bristol Rovers 2 Saturday 26th April 2014 Football League Two ![]() Against a side with just one away League win all season, Wanderers got off to the another bad start, conceeding from a free-kick on 11 minutes when Lee Brown curled the ball home past Matt Ingram from around 20 yards. But like the recent game with Northampton, Wycombe hit back when Matt McClure hit a sensational back-heeled equaliser from Sam Wood's cross. It was Wycombe who then went to have slightly more of the possession and chances and look the team more likely to get the crucial goal - albeit during a game that was broken up by regular treatment to the head of Aaron Pierre. The loanee sported at least two head bandages during the match, with former Wanderer Matt Harrold also requiring similar treatment before he was substitued with twenty minutes remaining, ![]() It was a cruel twist of fate, on 71 minutes, that proceeded the winning goal. Rovers 'keeper Steve Mildenhall dropped the ball under a Matt McClure challenge but Josh Scowen was unable to get to the loose ball before Steven Craig headed just wide from a Danny Rowe centre. Five minutes later at the other end, McClure misdirected an attempted headed clearance into the path of David Clarkson, who made no mistake from close range and sent the visiting fans into hysteria. ![]() It was literally Rovers only serious effort at goal throughout the second period. But the goal proved the killer blow for Wanderers who offered no response on a hugely disappointing day for the Wanderers who now look like heading back to the Conference after 21 seasons in the Football League.
