  Wycombe Wanderers - home 2000-01
Wycombe currently hold a high pedigree of players and with a physical presence to fear, it was obvious from the kick-off that the Latics would have to be alert throughout the whole of this tough fixture on a cold, autumn evening.
Wycombe for the first time in the game, were starting to look dangerous and for the last few minutes in the half, they gained possession and managed to pressurise.
Wycombe surprised me, in that the defence looked shaky and their play was often too one-dimensional, but the Latics took it upon themselves to play their own game and that allowed us to capitalise on a sub-standard Wycombe offering.

Wanderers, who made one change from the side which sparkled at Rochdale with Rob Lee coming in for Stefan Oakes, looked as though they were going to continue where they left off as they took the game to United.

 Season 2004-2005 : Wycombe Wanderers v Yeovil Town: Sat 6th November 2004
Phil Jevons was bodychecked off the ball by a Wycombe defender as he tried to make a run into the box, and Gavin Williams produced a delightful 25 yard free kick towards the top corner.
Gavin Williams was tormenting the Wycombe defence with a series of three dazzling runs through the heart of the Wycombe midfield, and after they had witnessed his first run, they seemed to panic at the ease that he was able to dance his way through the centre of the park.
Wycombe were to only trouble the Yeovil back line once during the final 45 minutes of the game as they gradually played deeper and even that chance was due to some uncharacteristically charitable Yeovil defending.

Wycombe would probably have been a shoe-in for the new Alliance Premier League that started in 1979, but the Isthmian League's administrators refused to have anything to do with it until two leading clubs, Dagenham and Enfield, forced their hands by unilaterally jumping ship in 1981.
However the suits were still inching towards agreement when Wanderers won the Isthmian title for the seventh time in 1982-83, so they missed their reward of any promotion.
Although Wycombe didn't run away with it until the very end it would have been extraordinary if their total of 101 points could have been topped.

Wycombe grabbed a replay against Division Two leaders Wigan Athletic on Saturday after Keith Ryan picked up the pieces from a 90th minute Sean Devine effort.
After surviving an opening five minute spell of Wigan pressure, Wycombe went on to dominate the first half and it was only a lucky deflected shot from Simon Haworth that put The Latics level on the stroke of half-time.
Wycombe threw caution to the wind in the closing stages and the gamble paid off when McSporran sprinted down the right and when Devine's shot cannoned off the upright, Ryan swept the ball home to spark the celebrations at The Valley End.

IF Saturday brought frustration for Wrexham and their fans, there was a measure of satisfaction for Wycombe Wanderers manager Tony Adams, following an uncompromising and fought stalemate at the Racecourse.
And, while a point for the Second sion's bottom club was probably as much as Adams could have hoped for before the start, the visitors might have notched up their first away win of the season had it not been for one superb save from Andy Dibble and the thickness of the Wrexham goalkeeper's crossbar.
But Wycombe showed few signs of playing ball, particularly in the opening period when they got 10 men behind the play every time they lost possession.
