Bossu in goal. However big he is, there's got to be a goal conceded, just to keep the balance of averages alive.

2-1 to us.

As I have said on another thread, 1-0 Walsall. Crowd 6,373 [800 away], although the level of away support may be 'optimistic' seeing as their last two Saturday away attendances were 119 [at Rochdale] and 409 [at Accrington]. Still, this is a big-ish game at this level and they should certainly bring more than that! Anything under 6,000 will be disappointing IMO.

I'll go for a 2-1 win. Fox and Keates to score for us, Easter to score for them.

Looks like most of their fans are a bit apprehensive about visiting the mighty Saddlers! I think we may well concede but just scrape a victory. 2-1 Walsall, Butler and Dobson for us. Oakes for them.

According to Sky, Dann and Gerrard are playing in the centre of defence, with Pead at right back. The rest of the team looks the same as usual - Ince is in goal.

Anyone know what happened to Roper or Westwood? I'm sure its on here somewhere but I haven't got the patience to look!

Will be tight today - 1-1 or maybe we'll sneak a narrow win if we can put in one of our better performances

2-0!!

Kinsella scored it, he's only just come on.

Lincoln are 4 up, but if we keep winning it doesn't matter what other teams do.

Just finished - 2-0.

Can't comment on the performance, but another clean sheet against decent opposition. League table looks very healthy, though it is of course very early in the season.

Another great game, we've shown we aint push overs against a decent side.

Thought Pead played well, so did Keates, but they certainly weren'y my man (men) of the match - that acolade would go to Gerrard and / or Dann. Those two were rock solid at the back, absolutely rock solid. Plus Ince was superb again.

Great performance - 2nd half especially!

Butler worked his balls off again, Ince - awesome - comands everything in his box. Every single corner..Was his!

Ketasy too played quality, Solid through out, I thought Dann & Gerrard did well together at the back.

Nothing to moan about..Top of the league and another clean sheet at home!

Bring on the Acyy!

2-0 against one of our nearest rivals. Another clean sheet at home with a record of 7-0-0-18-0. The defence looking pretty solid. A good crowd. Marvellous :D

Excellent game, probably the best performance of the season for me. Keats was outstanding, he never stopped running despite being outnumbered in midfield and I was more than happy to see Ince back in goal despite Bossu's impressive debut last week, the defence seem to be more confident with his domineering attitude in the box. Can't pick out any body else, they were all near to the top of their game but it was a pity that despite my obvious bias, the referee in the second half continued to favour the Wycombe strikers, in particular Mooney[fat blob] but still rather useful at this level.
Just loved Mark Wrights corner which resulted in Sams headed goal and Kinsellas strike neatly consolidated the game early on in the second half. There was the inevitable spell of pressure that we usually have to endure towards the end of the game but I am begining to feel worryingly comfortable :shock: with DD's every man behind the ball tactics at home and felt that some how Wycombe would not score even if we played for another 90 mins such is the confidence [false or otherwise] that runs through the team.
I just hope that next week at Accrington we can start to look and play like a team at the top of the division[eg first 15 mins against Shrewsbury] and not have to suffer what has often turned out to be a desparate cliff hanging game when I am praying for the final whistle just after halftime. :roll:

Great performance by Wycombe on the "diving" front - the ref fell for it almost every time!

As far as the Saddlers are concerned - a solid, effective and professional display. I though Keates and Wright did well first half, the back four were magnificent as was Ince. Butler did exactly what you would expect - worked his sock off. I can't think of anything negative to say - except that the queue at the bar was far too long by the time we got to Bescot - now I realise why I arrive early normally!

Also - once we scored, there was never any other result than us winning as far as I was concerned. Clayton Ince and the back four will break the clean sheet record this season :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
