SURVIVAL PATH
(Tuesday 30th March 2010)
Not much change at the bottom of the table for Wycombe after the 1-1 draw at Colchester, with the gap to jump out of the relegation zone for Gary Waddock's side remaining at seven points. Tranmere are now back in the relegation zone after they lost 3-0 at Brighton, while Exeter move up after a 2-1 home victory over Walsall. Southend lost 4-3 at Bristol Rovers after throwing away a 2-0 lead, while Stockport County are now virtually doomed after going down 5-0 at promotion chasing Millwall. Only one midweek game affecting the relegation battle, with Oldham at home to Brentford on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, it's crunch time for Wanderers as they return to action over the Easter weekend with a home meeting with Huddersfield Town on Saturday followed by the trip to Walsall on Monday.

COLCHESTER 1 WYCOMBE 1
(Saturday 27th March 2010)
A 93rd minute goal from Gareth Ainsworth salvaged a deserved point for Wanderers in a 1-1 draw at Colchester United on Saturday but it may not be enough to avoid the drop come the end of the season. Playing their first game at Colchester's new stadium, an unchanged Wycombe side fell behind in the 58th minute when Ian Henderson beat Tom Heaton with shot from around 15 yards. That looked enough for the home side to get their play-off hopes back on track but Wycombe kept fighting and were rewarded when Matt Phillips cross was converted from close range with an Ainsworth header. The late equaliser sparked mass celebrations from the travelling support but also heated protests from the home players who claimed Ainsworth had used his hand in assisting the ball across the line. Those protests continued after the final whistle with bookings picked up by David Prutton and goalkeeper Ben Williams for protests to the officials. Meanwhile, for Wycombe, pegging back the old rivals was enjoyable but with the gap to exit the relegation zone still at seven points, the miracle escape is looking more unlikely by the week with the next task a home game with promotion chasing Huddersfield Town next Saturday (3rd April). Wycombe: Heaton, Woodman, Hinshelwood, Westwood, Kelly, Keates, Betsy, Ainsworth, Mousinho (sub 70 Bloomfield), Beavon (sub 77 Phillips), Harrold (sub 80 Pittman) - subs not used: Shearer, Montrose, Bennett, McLeod - Att:5,593 (away end 532) |

(Saturday 27th March 2010)
Wanderers Youth team played a combined Youth Alliance and Reserves Combination fixture at Colchester United on Saturday morning - drawing 1-1 with Wanderers goal coming through Archie Lloyd on 49 minutes. The meeting was played as a combined fixture due to the backlog of games resulting from the bad weather during December and January. Wycombe: Ingram, Smith, Clark, Scowen, Grayley, Saku, Federico, Graham (sub 68 Ware), Lofters-Desport (sub 68 Harris), Wallace, Lloyd (sub 68 Olukanmi) - subs not used: Stewart, Styles, |

Bennett will go straight into the Wanderers squad for the trip to Colchester United on Saturday (27th March). |

RESERVES 0-0 AT POSH
(Wednesday 24th March 2010)
Wanderers Reserves played out a goalless draw at Peterbrough United on Wednesday afternoon. Wycombe included 26 year old Sierra Leone triallist Ishmail Fodayi-Kamara in their line-up.
The closest Wycombe came to scoring was through Lewis Montrose when he saw a second-half shot hit the post. Meanwhile, a Wanderers XI have learnt that they will play Maidenhead United in the Final of the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup on Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May at a venue yet to be agreed. The Magpies beat Thatcham Town in their semi-final after Wanderers had seen off Slough Town 1-0. Wycombe line-up v Posh: Shearer, Saku, Spence, Stewart, Green, Bloomfield, Montrose, Phillips, Harris (sub 70 Federico), Fadoyi-Kamara (sub 65 Belcher), Revell (sub 50 Fitchett) - sub not used: Brennan |

ADAMS PARK CONDEMNED
(Wednesday 24th March 2010)
As Wanderers followers attempt to dissect the mass of information regarding the 'Community Stadium' proposals, joint Wanderers and London Wasps 'owner' Steve Hayes has continued his diatribe on the current facilities at Adams Park, and contridicted comments from Club PR Chief Alan Parry and praise afforded to Club staff through Football League awards.

SURVIVAL PATH
(Monday 22nd March 2010)
After a week of results that went against the Wanderers, the gap between Wanderers and 20th place remains seven points. Midweek games see 22nd placed Southend host Walsall on Tuesday (23rd March), while other strugglers, Brentford and Hartlepool travel to Colchester and Southampton respectively. With nine games remaining, it looks like Wanderers will need a points total of at least 50 points to avoid an immediate drop back to 'League Two'. That equates to 19 more points - meaning a minimum of five more victories from a split of four home and five away games - starting with away to Colchester United next Saturday (27th March).

TRIBUTE MATCH FOR KEEN
(Monday 22nd March 2009)
A charity match in memory of former Wanderers Manager Mike Keen has been arranged for Thursday 15th April 2010 when an ex-Wanderers XI managed by Keith Scott will take on an XI, assembled by Mike's son Kevin, that will include Gianfranco Zola and Teddy Sheringham.
Mike Keen passed away on Sunday 12th April aged 69 following a short illness. The former player with QPR, Luton Town and Watford player took over the Manager's role at Wycombe in January 1980 and revitalised the fortunes of the Club by taking them on a memorable run to the Semi-Final of the FA Trophy in the 1981/82 season, while the following season (1982/83) he led them to a first Isthmian League Championship in eight seasons. Keen's contract was not renewed after finishing 7th in the Isthmian League in the 1983/84 season. As well as Wycombe Manager, he will be remembered in the Town for running the Mike Keen's Sport shop in the old Octagon shopping center and his continued support for local sport in the area. Admission prices for the game, which kicks-off at 7.45pm, are £10 adults and £1 concessions, with all proceeds being donated to Cancer Research UK. | |

WYCOMBE 2 EXETER 2
(Saturday 20th March 2010)
Wanderers threw away a 2-0 lead and conceeded in the final minute of normal time as they drew 2-2 with Exeter City at Adams Park on Saturday. Starting the match six points behind The Grecians, and after a thoroughly uninspiring first half, all started to go Wycombe's way ten minutes after the restart when Gareth Ainsworth picked up on a loose back pass to run on and beat visiting 'keeper Paul Jones. Six minutes later it was 2-0 when a through ball from Dean Keates picked up Stuart Beavon who also ran on to slid the ball under Jones and set Wanderers up for what should have been three points. However, on 66 minutes Liam Sercombe rifled in a shot from around 30 yards into the top right corner of the net and from that point on Wanderers showed their nerves again as they attempted to defend out the final quarter of the game. Perhaps inevitably, it was another 90th minute goal that saw Wycombe drop two more valueable points when substitute Richard Logan beat the offside trap from Barry Corr's flick on before slotting the ball under Tommy Heaton to send the travelling support wild. For Wanderers followers it was another familiar tale on what is now a desperate fight to avoid relegation with just nine games remaining. Wycombe: Heaton, Woodman, Hinshelwood, Westwood, Kelly, Keates, Betsy, Ainsworth, Mousinho, Beavon (sub 83 Pittman), Harrold (sub 76 Revell) - subs not used: Shearer, Montrose, Phillips, McLeod, Hunt - Att:5,054 (away end 617) |

BENNETT TO RETURN?
(Friday 19th March 2010)
Alan Bennett could be on his way back to the Wanderers after his return to Brentford turned sour. The central defender was recalled by The Bees on Monday but his first game back the following evening saw him sent-off after coming on as substitute in their 3-0 defeat to Brighton. The 28 year old will serve a one match ban but Gary Waddock has already spoken to Brentford about a deal until the end of the season after their own defensive problems eased. A new deal would see Bennett return in time for the trip to Colchester United on Saturday 27th March. |

KELLY DEAL EXTENDED
(Wednesday 17th March 2010)
Reading and Wanderers have agreed to an extension of the loan of Julian Kelly until the end of the season.

BENNETT RECALLED BY BEES
(Monday 15th March 2010)
Wanderers chances of 'League One' survival took another blow on Monday when Brentford recalled central defender Alan Bennett from his loan spell at Adams Park.

OLDHAM 2 WYCOMBE 2
(Saturday 13th March 2010)
Wanderers conceeded a 90th penalty equaliser as they drew 2-2 at fellow strugglers
Oldham Athletic on Saturday. The match, which saw Gareth Ainsworth, Kevin Betsy and Stuart Beavon back in the starting line-up and Alan Bennett and Julian Kelly make their final appearances of their initial one month loan spells, saw Wycombe look good value for three points after coming back from conceeding a 29th minute flick header from Reuben Hazell that give the home side the lead. Wycombe drew level three minutes before the break when John Mousinho's shot was blocked by the hand of Chris Taylor and the referee pointed to the spot - Matt Harrold converting with a low shot in the right corner of the net. Four minutes after the restart Wanderers were ahead when Betsy picked up the ball in the midfield and strode forward before sending in a low shot from around 25 yards that Oldham 'keeper Dean Brill let creep through his arms. That looked to be winner, before a last minute shot from Pawel Abbott hit Adam Hinshelwood's arm and the referee again pointed to the spot - Abbott converting to leave Wanderers still trailing the safety by seven points with ten games remaining - starting with next Saturday's home meeting with Exeter City. Wycombe: Heaton, Woodman, Hinshelwood, Bennett, Kelly, Keates, Betsy, Ainsworth (sub 84 McLeod), Mousinho, Beavon (sub 89 Pittman), Harrold (sub 80 Revell) - subs not used: Shearer, Westwood, Montrose, Phillips - Att:3,846 (away 182) |

FANS SPLIT ON STADIUM
(Monday 8th March 2010)
The poll carried out by the Liberal Democrats prior to the game with Carlisle, has left Wanderers fans divided on the necessity to move to a 'Community Stadium'. Responses to the question, "Are you in favour of moving from Adams Park to a new shared community stadium with the Wasps in Booker?”,were 49% yes (373 votes) and 51% no (389 votes). In response to the question, “Should Wycombe residents help pay for this new community stadium through local taxes/sale of publicly owned assets?”, of the 373 in favour of the move, 249 said yes, 114 said no and 10 said they had no opinion. An article on the Bucks Free Press website by James Nadal has contrived the results to prompt a headline of 'Fans back stadium move for Wycombe Wanderers and London Wasps' but Wanderers owner Steve hayes described the vote as a 'straw poll', while Wycombe District Council Leader Lesley Clarke said the ballot was ‘completely too early’.

YOUTHS WIN AT SOUTHEND
(Saturday 6th March 2010)
The Youth/Reserve team double header at Southend United on Saturday ended with a 2-1 victory for the Wanderers. The game was played as Youth Alliance and Combination fixture due to fixture congestion for both sides and originally scheduled as a home fixture for Wycombe. The match saw Wanderers take the lead on 14 minutes when Tom O'Regan cut in from the left before smashing home a shot from around 20 yards into the top corner of the Southend net. The remainder of the game proved to be an even affair that burst into life in the dying moments when Wanderers were awarded a penalty on 89 minutes that Jason Scowen converted to make the score 2-0. However, Wycombe had to survive some last minutes nerves when the hosts were awarded a penalty of their own in stoppage time after Wycombe 'keeper Matthew Ingram brought down Marcus Milner. Jamie Dennis scored from the resulting spot-kick but Wycombe held on for the three points. Wycombe: Ingram, Smith, Clark, Scowen, Cox, Stewart, Harris, Graham, Weemes (sub 60 Ware), Belcher, O'Regan - subs not used: Grayley, Lloyd, Styles, Lofters-Desport |

WYCOMBE 0 CARLISLE 0
(Saturday 6th March 2010)
Wanderers lost out on the chance of nearing escaping the relegation zone following a drab 0-0 with
Carlisle United at Adams Park. Gary Waddock made three changes to the side that had lost at bottom side Stockport County the previous week - Adam Hinshelwood returning after injury as Captain to replace Chris Westwood, Matt Phillips favoured ahead of Kevin Betsy and Matt Harrold returning after illness for Alex Revell. In a game of few clear cut chances the visitors had one of their best chances on 23 minutes but Adam Clayton fired into the side netting. What turned out to be Wanderers best chance of the game came just before the break when Alan Bennett saw a header cleared off the line from a Dean Keates corner and then John Mousinho head wide of the left hand upright after the ball was sent back in from the right. The introduction of Stuart Beavon injected some life into the Wycombe attack towards the end but the closest to winner came when Matt Phillips pulled his shot wide in the final five minutes as a game, where it would have been cruel on either side to have lost, ended 0-0. Results elsewhere see Wanderers stay second from bottom with 29 points from 35 games. Ahead of them are Southend and Exeter - both on 32 points from 34 games - then next week's opponents at Boundary Park, Oldham Athletic - on 33 points from 32 games. Wycombe: Heaton, Woodman, Hinshelwood, Bennett, Kelly, Keates, Mousinho, Phillips, McLeod (sub 68 Beavon), Harrold, Pittman (sub 82 Revell) - subs not used: Bloomfield, Shearer, Westwood, Montrose, Hunt - Att:4,876 |

WADDOCK ON SQUAD
(Friday 5th March 2010)
Gary Waddock has said he has finished in the transfer market for the current season and will not be adding any further loans before the window closes at the end of March. However, Wigan Athletic defender David Mayer will given another chance to impress in Saturday's Youth/Reserve game being played at Southend United. The 19 year old played 45 minutes in the 2-1 midweek Combination defeat to Ipswich before being forced off with a deadleg. Reading triallist Simon Cox will also continue to train with the Wanderers after also appearing in the game with Ipswich. |

HAYES ON STADIUM
(Friday 5th March 2010)
Steve Hayes has broken his silence over the 'COmmunity Stadium' proposals in an article in the Bucks Free Press. Hayes is quoted as saying, "“There has been a lot of information that has been banded around that isn’t true. We want to set the record straight and get a press release out in the coming weeks.” But Hayes wouldn't elaborate on his claims, adding, "I am very pleased that we have got over this hurdle and we will be working with the council and The Bucks Free Press over the coming weeks to get out a detailed press release." Wycombe District Council Cabinet members agreed last week to enter into a 'Collaboration Agreement' with Wycombe Sports Development Limited - a company formed in August 2006 by business partners Steve Hayes and Mike Brooks. Both have since gone on to become Directors of ground tenants London Wasps. But the agreement with WDC is minuted to be 'without final commitment' and an external law firm is set to be appointed by the Council 'to deal with the drafting and negotiation of the collaboration agreement', with WSDL - the company set to manage the facilities at the proposed complex but one which the Council also want a stake in.

WDC CHIEF RUBBISHES POLL
(Wednesday 3rd March 2010)
Wycombe District Council Deputy Leader Tony Green has rubbished the Wycombe Liberal Democrats initiative to conduct a poll of Wanderers supporters over the proposed 'Community Stadium'. Responding in a Bucks Free Press article, Green questioned whether the poll was 'fair and balance'. He said, “It is interesting he [Steve Guy] is only asking the Wycombe Wanderers supporters rather than the London Wasps supporters. Perhaps he ought to do a similar survey amongst the Wasps to get a more balanced view – they are both Wycombe clubs. More Wasps fans are supportive of the scheme as ‘no-one is suggesting, on their current gates, that Wycombe Wanderers need a bigger stadium." Green added "There is a small, vocal group, mainly of Wycombe Wanderers supporters, who don’t like Steve Hayes and the way he has taken over the club who, quite frankly, will oppose anything Steve Hayes does." However, Cllr Guy said it was unlikely he would also survey Wasps fans, adding, "If fans from the two clubs want something completely different then I think perhaps the need for a ground share should come to an end." The poll is planned before Wanderers' home game with Carlisle United on Saturday 6th March.

(Tuesday 2nd March 2010)
Wanderers Reserves suffered their first Combination defeat of the season on Tuesday evening, going down 2-1 to Ipswich Town at Maidenhead. Tom Eastman put the visitors ahead a minute before the break but Kadeem Harris levelled affairs on 53 minutes when he headed home at the far post after Town 'keeper Richard Wright fumbled a cross. However Lee Martin grabbed the winner for the Suffolk side on 68 minutes when he ran on the slot past Scott Shearer following a through ball from David Cawley. Wanderers included Reading triallist Simon Cox in their line-up again plus Wigan's 19 year old defender David Mayer. Former Ipswich trainee Matt Bloomfield also continued his comeback for the Wanderers following his injury hit season.
