OUT OF LEAGUE CUP ON PENS

Wanderers were eliminated on spot-kicks in their League Cup 1st Round tie at Brentford. In the first competitive game at The Bees new stadium, a Pinnock header on 32 minutes gave the home side the lead but Wycombe substitute Daryl Horgan leveled on 76 minute despite Gareth Ainsworth’s side being reduced to 10 men after Gape had been red carded three minutes into the second-half for dangerous play.
The tie went straight to a spot-kick shot-out with scores level at 1-2 on 90 minutes but after Nick Freeman blasted over and Scott Kashket saw his effort saved, Marcus Forss netted the winner for Brentford. Joe Jacobson and Horgan were the scorers from spot on a day that Wycombe could have won in the closing stages when Fred Onyedinma went close.

TAFAZOLLI IS SIGNING#6
(Wednesday 2nd September 2020)
The Club announced its sixth signing of the close season and the third of the day on 2nd September 2020 with the arrival of 6’5” central defender Ryan Tafazolli from relegated Hull City. The 28-year-old joins on a two-year deal for ‘undisclosed fee’. He had previously spent three years in League One with Peterborough United.
Gareth Ainsworth commented: “We’ve come up against Ryan many times down the years and he’s always been a strong, commanding presence in any defence we’ve faced, and also a real threat from our set-pieces with his height and heading ability.
“Our defence was the bedrock for our success last season and he’ll add real competition for places and give us another option with lots of games coming thick and fast. I’ve been working hard all summer on bringing Ryan to the club and I’m delighted it’s paid off.”

HORGAN IS SIGNING#5
(Wednesday 2nd September 2020)
Daryl Horgan was confirmed as Wanderers' fifth signing of the close season on 2nd September 2020 after signing a two-year deal from Hibernian. No fee was mentioned by either club but the 28-year-old winger was contracted with Hibs until 2021, so a fee is likely. He was allocated the No.17 shirt in the Wanderers squad.
Gareth Ainsworth commented: “Daryl is someone we’ve kept an eye on ever since he put in that outstanding performance against us and we believe he’s ideally suited to the way we play. He’s quick, he’s direct, he loves to run at the defence and he’s got a strong goal threat in terms of scoring and creating chances for his team-mates.”
