We were never outplayed at any point. Two goals originating from set-plays (and we should have had a free kick in the build-up to the first) and very little else. However, in the second half they were extremely well-organised and disciplined, and very hard to break down as a result. We played some nice stuff and made a lot of the running; it was ultimately more a matter of their defensive quality than our supposed lack of attacking quality on the day.
If we’d been playing Accrington or Wimbledon today, we’d have done them 2 or 3-0.

Like we did to Southend?

For a team that supposedly "out-played" us, Wycombe created very little. They were far more route one than us today and I wasn't overly impressed with them; clearly effective at what they do, but not necessarily easy on the eye. We've seen much better footballing teams at PP, but as they say, it's a results game. Unfortunately, we shot ourselves in the foot on two set-pieces. I thought some of our inter-play was superior, but just lacking an end product. We weren't a million miles away today and we can take heart from some of our football on display, particularly the first ten minutes and a lot of the second half. Just mark the small guy in the cup!

The number 11? Irritating little nuisance but the sort of player you'd like on your side.
