Barnet 0 Wycombe Wanderers 2 Saturday 15th August 2015 Football League Two ![]() In what was Barnet's first Football League game at their Hive ground, team news for Wycombe saw Aaron Pierre return to the starting line-up after missing the Fulham League Cup game with a deadleg. However, Anthony Stewart was unavailable having picked up a knock against Fulham, meaning Danny Rowe continued in the centre of defence. Up front, Paul Hayes partnered Thompson with Aaron Amadi-Holloway dropping to the bench. Goalkeeper Alex Lynch also found himself on the bench having been recalled from Wealdstone due to an injury to Barry Richardson. Encouraged by a noisey 902 following in the 2,562 crowd, Wycombe found themselves under pressure in the early stages and had former Wanderer John Akinde to thank for missing two clear chances in the first-half - on both occasions firing wide of the target. But Wycombe survived and the home side were made to pay eight minutes into the second-half when Thompson collected the ball back to goal and turned and shot just inside in the left-hand upright. Jason Banton replaced an injured Rowe on 77 minutes, with Wycombe re-jigging the line-up to move Amadi-Holloway into the cente of defence. It signalled a final push from the home side but they denied by another trademark Matt Ingram save on 84 minutes when he managed to keep out a Michael Gash overhead kick. Then with seven minutes of stoppage time announced, Wycombe confirmed victory with a second goal that pushes Gareth Ainsworth's to the top of the League Two table on goal difference from Leyton Orient.
