Ferry is out. Fingers crossed he's just being rested.

Shepherd back and Bradbury dropped from the squad. I guess no room for 3 left footed CB's in the squad...

Keep Mc Cleary quiet and put in a gritty display and we should get something. Hope Ben Williams doesn't push up to much and keeps an eye on Mc Cleary. Also test their keeper

Come on, win and get out of the bottom 4 for the first time since 15th August.

Not a very promising first 10 mins. Scrappy game but we seem a bit off it. Southwood keeping it at 0-0.

Really poor in the tackle so far. Not snapping in like we have been in midfield.

Distinctly 2nd best. Could be a long night if we don't get a grip soon. Aimless hoofball so far

We’ve barely strung two passes together. I don’t get the long ball tactics with two short guys up front.

Not a very promising second 10 minutes, but better than the first 10.

So sloppy. Sure we'll see a couple of half time subs if this continues.

The ref seems to have made his allegiances clear already. Surprise ringing out all around Gloucestershire at him not giving us free kicks for what appears to be blatant fouls.

Probably not a planned tactic. Just players not having a good night. As Duff used to say, when we aren’t on it our passing game falls apart.

Don't think this was the game to rest Ferry (assuming he is rested). Williams having a nightmare against McCleary, no surprise given he hasn't played for weeks. Goal coming any minute here.

We are living really dangerously now! Wycombe could have scored three in the last 5 mins. Massive job for DC at half time

DC saying about us needing nearly everyone at 7's and 8's out of 10. Hardly anyone above a 5 really so far. Certainly midfield forwards. Like Friday, composure on the ball and lack of bite in the tackles in midfield.

Sercs having his worst game of the season so far.

If we're gonna play like this we may as well bring Nuttall on now, at keast the ball might stick up front a bit. Would probably bring on Kinsella and Harrop for Sercs and Bonds, try something different

Half time can't come quick enough. Friday night all over again

Seems like a foul or offside against us anytime we get around their box.

Just haven't really got going yet - really poor after Wigan.

DC has his work cut out...

Ref is exceptionally keen to give them free kicks. Takes an awful lot for us to get one.

2 or 3 subs now I'd have thought. Only Southwood comes out of that half with any credit. We were much better 2nd half against them a few weeks ago, let's have the same again - can't be much worse.

Other than Vale beating Fleetwood (a draw would be best), other scores are currently decent.

Main objective get to half time 0-0. Job done. Other games going our way. Get sorted for second half and nick one.
Don't give them set piece opportunities. Scrappy is not to bad for us. don't let them play. Time and place for pretty football. It is all about getting something.

All teams above us losing except PV. Need a point at least

Crikey, getting to half time level a relief.
Getting outfought particularly in the air for the first time in weeks.
Hope Freestone is OK after a couple of hefty hits on the head.
Good Wycombe commentary with their player Joe Jacobsen giving a lot of tactical insight.
Oh and Freestone top of the list in L1 with 11 cards after whoever had 13 is now at Carlisle.

Surprised no subs. Assume they've had a proper rocket at half time

Of course a penalty. Looked like he used his arm tbf. A bloody linesman would never give us a penalty.
