Market

Souza has said yes to Huddersfield Town

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Wycombe Wanderers have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets

Ellery Balcombe turns down Wycombe Wanderers

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: West Ham United keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets

Wycombe Wanderers rebuffed over Dom Ballard

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Brighton have kept their man, and Wycombe Wanderers go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

Anthony Mitchell keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Wycombe Wanderers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

A falling-out at Wycombe Wanderers

Aaron Morley and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Real improvement from Théodore Mathieu at Wycombe Wanderers

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Théodore Mathieu is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words at Wycombe Wanderers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Wandile Duba is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets

Wycombe Wanderers try to borrow Paul Moore

Manchester City have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Market

Souza is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Wycombe Wanderers is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

No end in sight to Wycombe Wanderers's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Wycombe Wanderers has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Fin Back signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Fin Back and Wycombe Wanderers agree another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Wycombe Wanderers

Alex Lowry and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Wycombe Wanderers

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Aaron Morley was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Anthony Mitchell makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout

Anders Hagelskjær dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout

Joshua Marshall: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
