Wycombe lost again tonight

What’s the fastest a club has overcome a 12 point deduction to get off the bottom? If Sheff Wed get 4 points from their 2 home games and Wycombe lose at Norwich, then it will have taken them only 7 games.....

I assume rolling about, feigning injury for up to 10 mins per half, mainly by the keeper, winding oppo players up off the ball and generally doing anything other than trying to engage in a football match does not seem to be working in the Championship?

Long may it continue.

Awwwww such a shame.
 
It would be Karma if they went the entire season playing behind closed doors whilst being relegated in the process, never to return, from a level they didnt earn the right to be in.

Shithouse FC.
 
They've ended up with Brechin City syndrome.

Brechin finished 4th think it was 2016 miles behind the other playoff sides.

Beat Raith over 2 legs in a penalty shoot out and somehow beat a far superior Alloa side to go up.

2017 relegated by Halloween no wins all season bar beating Buckie in the Scottish Cup. Think they were in single figures.

2018 straight down through league 1 with no stops.

2019 finished last miles adrift before covid and were certainly going to lose to either Kelty Hearts or Brora Rangers in the play off.

2020 season bottom already having had a few batterings and looking to repeat last season.

They were a comfortable mid table league 1 side before going up admittedly jammily but they had no real desire or infrastructure to sustain playing teams like Dundee United and Dunfermline.

Think Wycombe are on the same path.
 
The reason we didn’t get promoted is we weren’t good enough, so I don’t blame Wycombe for that.

That being said, they are still the worst team I’ve seen at any level of football and were always going to struggle in the Championship.

As a football fan, I’d be embarrassed to turn up to the SoL and see us doing what they did, and then coming out with stuff like ‘our house, our rules’.
 
Let’s be honest, they were just about a mid table league one team and were in bad form when it ended.

Will look forward to Sheff Weds overtaking them despite having -10 points.

Cheaters never prosper (long term)

I have no issue with them taking the play off spot and winning the play offs. My issue is with the way they cheated and shithoused their way to getting the points that got them there.

Same here but I literally couldn’t give a shit about what they’re doing now.
 
It was obvious league 1 clubs were going to have a majority vote to end the season with PPG. I don't blame Wycombe for wanting to use that to get into the play offs. However, they should have been clever and voted to play on, knowing the season was always going to be cut short. Then at least they could have claimed they wanted to keep playing even if they didnt and they wouldn't have taken as much of a hit in the media/public eye

Missed a trick imo.

I am happy for any team to get a bit of success. I have been to literally thousands of games many as a neutral and done all the grounds in the Scottish Leagues and am at the very end of completing the 92 (frustrated by Covid).

I love football and most clubs I have some affinity with but the sort of anti-football played by Wycombe gives the game a bad name and when its rewarded it threatens the game as there is a risk that others will copy it. That anti-football needs a correction in order to stop replication and its seems the Championship is delivering the correction I wanted and football needed ;)

I agree entirely.

At a totally different level, I was very proud on Saturday when my son scored the winner in an under-8s game against an ‘anti-football’ opposition.

The other highlight was when a player on the other team took a ball straight into his belly from a free-kick ... earlier in the match he’d committed a few 2-footed challenges.

It’s disappointing that kids are encouraged to ‘play’ like that. It’s 5-a-side at their age and this particular team will field a goalie, 2 defenders and 2 forwards, totally bypassing midfield. HOOF!
