Mansfield Town 0 Wycombe Wanderers 0 Saturday 24th January 2015 Football League Two ![]() While Wanderers were unchanged from the starting XI that had battled to a draw at the Bury bog seven days earlier - Max Kretzschmar returned on the bench following his recent injury problems but there was a set-back for Paul Hayes as he was left out of the squad having still to recover from a calf problem. The early action saw Oliver have his first effort of the day saved by Ingram after just six minutes. While on 18 minutes Alfie Mawson looked fortunate to escape without punishment when he slid in tackle Billy Kee. Shortly afterwards Joe Jacobson and Marcus Bean both had speculative efforts saved by Smith but it was the home side who went on to dominate the remainder of the half. on 27 minutes Peter Murphy became the first of five Wanderers players to be booked after his tussles with Ricky Ravenhill began to get out of control. The two players had clashed earlier in the season when Ravenhill was on the books of Northampton. There were clearly some 'afters' here and Murphy took a blow to the head for his troubles, leaving him with a head bandage for the rest of the game. On 34 minutes Oliver dived at the left hand edge of the six yard box to send a header against the right hand upright. Then on the stroke of half-time it was Ingram who helped keep the Wanderers goal intact - first diving to his right to save from Kee before Arron Pierre cleared the goalbound follow up from Oliver. From the resulting corner Ingram then made an incredible double save to push away Michael Raynes’ header before reacting to keep out Oliver’s follow-up. The second period followed much the same pattern. Oliver missed another golden opportunity on 68 minutes. But it was Onyedinma who nearly scored against the run of play on 73 minutes. McClure then had a brilliant chance in the fourth and final minute of stoppage time but a goal then would have been harsh on the home side. Full-time - Mansfield 0 Wycombe 0
