That was a game that we just have to write off.
We were in control before the red card. Even after, we had the better of the game.
But it's always difficult to win with ten men.
Two scrappy goals won it for Wycombe.
Referee was dreadful.
Didn't like so many leaving after the second goal. I stayed until the end.
We're still getting promoted and we'll bounce back on Saturday.

That ref was awful!

Are we getting promoted? Not on tonights showing. The game did change because of Osho though. He must not play again this season until we are promoted. Total liability. Angry about tonight, we are limping to the finish line.

Seems lot of write off games atm, we r just flat track bullies, stuff hopeless teams, then get stuffed by anyone half decent!!
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:42 pm
After 60 minutes I thought "we're not scoring if we play until Saturday so a draw would be good".
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:42 pm
Bolton and Bradford failing to win is a huge bonus.
Dust ourselves off and go again.

Ref was a horror but so where we tonight looked sluggish kellyman had his worse game this season luckily not to much harm done apart from pride.

We wouldn't have scored if we had 12 players on the pitch.
Since Ruben has come back into the team Kellyman and Tanner
Have been terrible. All too slow . 2 banks of 5 and we are fooked

Very poor all around.
Again, disappointing defensive display, but in all honesty, the whole team were awful.
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:44 pm
Winning the league has probably gone. Results went our way elsewhere, disappointing but hopefully the last we aee of Osho, he's a clown.
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:45 pm
How many more soft goals are we going to gift our opponents to throw games away?
Doesn't matter how much possession we have and how much we move the ball across the pitch. Our crosses got cleared and our shots got blocked. Wycombe did what we always fail to do - defend properly.
I'm sick of us conceding so many soft goals. I've said all season we needed to strengthen our defence. We definitely don't deserve to win the league and with how badly we're defending, we don't deserve to go up.
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:45 pm
Absolutely shit
Osho lost us that game. We should appeal to get his ban extended.
Terrible
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:46 pm
2 wins in our last 6 including 3 defeats so a few games we have to write off

I’m not concerned about the ref just our performance which was way below par.
Such a pity with Lincoln losing but not we can go again ….

Osho is a total liability , Fish must start in front of him, cost us stability in defence.. very lacklustre display, Rubin needs to get stuck in more, for a big guy he can be weak, why oh why are we playing Kellyman and Rubin, too much flare not enough industry.
BBM needs to sort it out poor performances of late.
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:48 pm
We can blame the referee but he didn't miss from two yards a £19m player did because he couldn't use his right foot.
There were players out there you wouldn't want in the trenches and then BBM brings on Willock, enough said.
It amazes me that the club captain is sat on the bench for 94 minutes after a centre half is sent off!
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:49 pm
I actually think osho was very unlucky to get a red card seen much worse just getting yellows seems every ref in league one has only got to have a chance to get at us never ever a sending off
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:49 pm
If we go up - and it’s a big if, because we could end up bottling it, this squad isn’t good enough to compete a level above.
We’d need around 9/10 players.
Tue Mar 17, 2026 9:51 pm
the only good thing tonight was bolton and lincoln drawing.
Bolton travel to Port Vale which should be winnable for Bolton
Lincoln host Rotherham which is winnable for Lincoln
And of course we have blackpool this weekend
also would be nice to see more of fish and Lawlor at the back for us again.
the ref was terrible
i think he saw how the tackle looked instead of the actual contact osho made with the other player.
Always say it beat Bolton and we are promoted

Lincoln didn't lose though.

Disappointing result and performance. Largely spoilt by the red card but still, where is the passion to chase down Lincoln. Do these boys not want to win the league.
Hope we snap out of this coz it's gonna take the shine off promotion if we finish with a whimper.

Positives:
Neither of the teams below us won, and we kept pushing even after going down to 10 men. It was always going to be difficult to get anything from the game at that point, but we still went for the win.
Negatives:
We have to be better at finishing teams off when we’re on top. We got into some brilliant positions today and somehow didn’t even manage a shot on target.
Frustration
Kellyman switched off for an easy tap-in, Tanner’s final ball was poor all evening, and Osho needlessly went diving into a tackle.
The game should have been done in the first 30 minutes, but instead we’ve thrown away three points through our own ill-discipline.
Osho will understandably take some flak, and you would expect better from a more experienced player.
You can't question he cares he just keeps making rash decisions.
Crazy tackle vs Braford for the pen, terrible defending vs Lincoln for the first goal and now getting sent off at a key time.
I also totally respect he's had some very solid games but out of our 4 cb he's the biggest liability.

Lincoln didn't lose though.
Yeah so I see. They scored in stoppage time.
Tue Mar 17, 2026 10:00 pm
Kellyman up top isnt working.
Tue Mar 17, 2026 10:06 pm
Agree we need to write this game off. We’ve had a few games like this where nothing goes right. The Ref was terrible, and with 11 men on the pitch, we would have won that as Wycombe wasn’t that good. We only have 8 games to go, and although we are limping to the end I can’t see us losing enough to where Bolton catch us up. We have done well to stay at the top for so long with the youngsters and no real backing of new players. On to the next game
Tue Mar 17, 2026 10:10 pm
BBM has improved every player but has he the stuff to be a manager?
Rubin is a passer
Kellymen a dribbler, neither are strikers. Ashford isn’t flashy but he at least give the centre half’s something to think about, but BBM has his way and that’s it. Everyone must play, it’s like little league.
A team of CM’s tonight

Agree about limping to the finish line unfortunately. Not seen the red card back, but looked harsh in the stadium.
But yeah we're going up, both Bolton and Bradford let us off the hook again.
Tue Mar 17, 2026 10:15 pm
Do we think murphy is becoming complacent surely not it could be just the pressure on all to get promoted.

Of course we deserve to go up if we finish top two (which we will).
