Player ratings

Luke Harris, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.07

A mark of 8.07 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

James Tilley runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Wycombe Wanderers

Anselmo García Mac Nulty was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Niall Huggins falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Luke Harris

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Luke Harris sends Wycombe Wanderers past Rotherham United

It finished 1‑0, and it was Luke Harris’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Wycombe Wanderers.

Squad

Felipe gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Still no ink between Wycombe Wanderers and Ewan Henderson

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Wycombe Wanderers, another week without a signature from Ewan Henderson.

Squad

Wycombe Wanderers pick somebody else ahead of Ewan Henderson

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market

Laurie Shala hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Wycombe Wanderers can pretend not to have heard.

Match

4 matches without a win for Wycombe Wanderers

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Wycombe Wanderers are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Anselmo García Mac Nulty in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wycombe Wanderers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Wycombe Wanderers

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Words at Wycombe Wanderers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Niall Huggins 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.

Squad

Edmund Baidoo has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Wycombe Wanderers know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Squad

Edmund Baidoo named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Edmund Baidoo is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Market

Wycombe Wanderers and Dan Casey are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near James Tilley

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
