    The Chairboys travel to West Lancashire for the first leg of the 2020 League One Playoff Semi Final at Highbury in what is likely to be a very tight game the teams have met 8 times in the league with the Chairboys just edging it having won 3 and drawn 3 with a very binary look to the score board as all the games have finished either 1-0 1-1 or 0-1 we lost our last encounter a cold February Tuesday night game at AP when the visitors became only the second team to leave there with all the spoils this season and after such a long layoff any one of those binary scores is expected.
    Gaz should have a injury free squad having not played a competitive game for four months so he should be able to name a very strong starting line up and with 5 subs available to use the match day squad is 20 players.
    With the games being behind closed doors I will be watching the game in my living room with only Mr Wanderer to keep me company and the fact that home team are used to playing in front of small crowds may be an advantage as their average crowd is less that half ours but that means we will have a very large TV following plus the WWWW thanks to Rob willing us on to victory<cheers>

    I’m struggling to remember what our best starting 11 would be.

    Shall we have a go at it?
    Allsop, Grimmer, Jacobson, Gape, Stewart, Charles, Freeman, Samuel,,Bloomfield, Akinfenwa, Onyedinma,

    I would start Bloomfield and Samuel as they are hard working and chase everything and I would start Bayo to try to capitalise on their hard work and Fred's class. If we can get in front then bring on some defenders. If we get behind I think we could be in trouble so hence trying to establish an early lead

    It does look like with the other games so far you need to start quick, there also seems to be a lot of goals in the last ten minutes of games. Northampton were not in a play-off position like us they got there on a PPG basis.

    Loanees Paul Smyth, Giles Phillips, David Stockdale and Nnamdi Ofoborh will all be eligible to feature in the League 1 play-offs, the club are delighted to confirm.

    The quartet have agreed extensions to their existing deals to ensure they'll be available for selection when the Chairboys meet Fleetwood Town over two legs in the semi-finals.

    Gareth on Sky: “The lads are raring to go. We’re fully fit and firing on all cylinders. My staff have done a wonderful job getting them ready.

    The problem is Joey Barton would probably be saying exactly the same, all I hope for is we play the next two games possibly three the same way as the first half of the season. Like winning at Rotherham 1-0

    Why bother to take part in a league if you don't want or hope for a promotion Guy. So you may not be ready for the Championship but who cares. It is one hell of a ride up there even if my memory has to go back a bit.

    Crikey, we've come a long way since those days when we were the amateur giant killers knocking out teams like Bournemouth, Newport and drawing with Middlesbrough (then top of Div 1 which was the highest division in League football) and losing 1-0 in the replay away

    & I seem to remember we struggled to beat Marlow away before we went on to play Middlesborough, & if Greeny's best mate had not taken over at Middlesborough we could have been playing in a higher divison than them next season.
