WYCOMBE 2 MANSFIELD 1
(Saturday 13th September 2014)
A brave headed goal by Peter Murphy saw Wanderers come from behind to beat Mansfield Town 2-1 at Adams Park and jump to 4th place in the League Two table. The visitors took the lead in the 4th minute when Matt Rhead was left unmarked to head in following a corner from the right. Wanderers were perhaps a little fortunate to get back on level terms on the half-hour mark when Martin Riley handled a Paul Hayes' shot from the left of goal on the edge of the box, with Hayes stepping up to inch the resulting spot-kick past Dimitor Evtimov in the Stags goal.

MORIAS DEPARTS
(Monday 1st September 2014)
Slightly surprising news on transfer deadline day was the release of Junior Morias. Surprising, in as much that the now 19 year old agreed a new one year deal just prior to the start of the current season. Morias made his Wanderers debut under Gareth Ainsworth back in September 2012 and amongst loan spells with Hendon (twice) and Boreham Wood, totalled 27 League apperances but all from the bench and without hitting the back of the net. Also made four cup appearances for the Wanderers, with his only start coming in the FA Cup tie at Crewe in November 2012. A short statement of the official website confirmed he had left by 'mutual consent'. |
