Unfortunately I agree with you on this, it doesn’t have to be pretty, we just need a good hard working performance from everyone, we need to take a leaf out of Adams and Collins book !!!

Hope he’s refereeing against Carlisle 😂👌

Joking aside, you've made a great point there. These little teams generally see us as their big games of the season, giving them that little extra effort.
Wednesdays match will arrive 3 days after their biggest game in their history, a chance to win some silverware. They should be emotionally and possibly physically drained come Wednesday.
We'll need to tear into them from the first minute.

Adams Park Stadium
Wednesday, April 10th – Kick-Off: 19.45
Still a full week to go before another match to savour, this time against a club who can sensibly lay claim to having the greatest car park in all of football. So, what is there to say about L1’s perennial not-so-nearly men? Well, they have a fantastic chairman don’t they! Who else would be magnanimous enough to name their ground after our legendary midfield destroyer, Ebou? More to the point, how did he even know Ebou was coming to Derby? Clever chap, I suppose, which is probably why he now owns more ambulances than the NHS. As for Wycombe the town, well some brief research shows that Wycombe is notable only for being surrounded by places that are not dumps. Also, for weighing its mayors to see whether they have been getting rich on the public pound. Oh, The Cornetto Trilogy too, for any Hot Fuzz fans out there.
Moving onto Wycombe FC, well what can I say?
No, really, what can I say?
Oh, alright then! Their Wiki bio states that Wycombe Wanderers Football Club is an English professional association football club based in the town of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Founded in 1887, they entered the Southern League in 1896. Despite being around forever though, they’ve won the square root of feck all and in 137 years, have only managed to accrue around 7,000 supporters. I’m no maths whizz, but by utilising my trusty abacus, I’ve calculated that at their current rate of growth, they will hit Derby levels of support in only 508.86 years. Something to look forward to, then.
Key Threats
Well they are two-fold and to be taken seriously; firstly, there’s the threat of legal action and secondly, there’s a very real possibility that they’ll attempt to hoof half our team into the stands. Fortunately for us, we’ve already paid them out, so they’re now feasting on the bones of other clubs in financial strife. Also, their stands are tiny and their team is rubbish, so if any Wycombe player does attempt to half-volley Liam Thomson into the North Stand, he’ll probably miss it altogether.
On the pitch, after a seriously deep dive, the only threats I’ve come up with are Luke Leahy who has amassed 8 goals and 6 assists this season from @40 starts, Dale Taylor with 5 and Joseph Low with 4. I was going to visit their forum to try to discern some interesting insider titbits for you lot; team strategy, injuries, pie quality and the like, but I immediately realised I’d rather eat my own vomit, so I didn’t bother. Feel free to have a gander yourselves though.
The Team
I think we’ll likely see the same starting 11, or very close to it. Fortunately, we now have the aforementioned Ebou Adams, so when they kick us, he’ll kick them back. Several times each, probably. That said, I think if we play our own game and don’t get sucked into Wycombe’s peculiar brand of anti-football, we may well win and win well.
And sadly, that’s all folks, as the pub beckons and in truth, I’d not really counted on us getting past both Blackpool and Pompey and have nothing else prepared. A final note though, for away supporters looking for things to do before and after the game, might I recommend a trip to Henley, Marlow or Windsor instead?

BE MORE B4

I remember this guy scoring. 

1Wildsmith 5.5  Made a couple of decent saves, but worries me to death everytime the ball goes near him.
2Wilson 6  Struggled to get forward as much as usual, combination of weather conditions and their hard press.
35Nelson 6.5  Not as assured as normal, the weather didnt help or the pressure they put him under.
6Cashin 7  Probably just shaded Nelson on performance. His long balls down the line helped take pressure off.
17Sibley 6  Defensively he struggled, out of position for their first goal too.
23Ward 8.5  Worked hard and 2 beautiful strikes even if one was deflected in.
16Thompson 6  Worked hard when he came on.
12Smith 7   Looking a good midfield partner for Adams.  
4Hourihane 6  Ok
32Adams 8  Covered every blade of grass.
27Blackett-Taylor 7  Made some great runs and seems to be improving each game he plays. 
14Washington 6  Not enough time to influence the game
11Méndez-Laing 6  Maybe tried too hard, not sure the armband helps him either.
9Collins 6.5  Chased and harried all the match.
10Waghorn 6  Ok
I agree Nelson and Cashins hardest test this season. 
 

FFS can u see Cash and Nelson going into the game with this attitude? No, let’s get out there and do em over 💪🙏

Oh I reckon Warney could give it a go.....just for s***s and giggles.....
Lots of possible tried and underwhelmed permutations coming back.....we could yet see any/all of.....
- Sonny bossing a back 3
- Bird and Hourihane as a midfield 2
- Joe Ward at right back stemming the tide, behind Kane Wilson 
- Liam as a 10
- Sonny as a 9
Much to salivate over......

Personally I think your being a bit harsh on Wash, yeh I don’t disagree what your saying but we should cut him a bit of slack, he’s been out for Christ knows how many months and is obviously not match fit, in fact if we weren’t in such a state injury wise he wouldn’t of started today, just saying like.👍 

My take on today, yes we deserved to win, didn’t play that well but who cares at this stage of the season.
Ref was very picky and some of the offsides looked debatable 🤔
Thought Warne got team selection bang on, glad to see Smith start ahead of Hourihane.
CBT, did ok but still needs to work a lot harder for me and probably for Warne, but still could be a match winner for us. He so reminds me of Mendez Laing when he first arrived 
Wilson and Ward down the right hand side, I believe this can work and both did ok today, Ward is an unbelievable crosser of the ball, if only wede got Gayle fit to get on the end of em.
Washington looked lively but not match fit, but still a better option than Waggy
All in all 3 points with most of the others around us slipping up, so a good day at the office 👌

1Wildsmith  7 Couple of bad kicks, which he seriously needs to improve on, but otherwise looked solid behind the back four.
2Wilson  7  I think this can work, him and Ward down the right.
35Nelson  8  My player of the season, just ahead of Cash.
6Cashin  8  Love his partnership with Nelson.
17Sibley  7  Still has to work on his defensive duties, especially positional, played some lovely balls down the left hand side.
23Ward  7  What a crosser of a ball, love to watch it, pity we can’t get anyone on the end of em.
10Waghorn  6  Not good enough/fit enough to start now.
32Adams  8.5  Just love this man’s determination and passion, oh and what a finish.
12Smith  7.5  Good partner for Adams in the centre.
4Hourihane  6  See Waghorn.
27Blackett-Taylor  6.5  Still doesn’t work hard enough for me, having said that, looks dangerous and could be a match winner.
16Thompson  6.5  Good sub to have with 15 mins to go.
11Méndez-Laing  6.5  For me not looked himself the last few games, still a goal threat tho.
22Fornah  6  Nice to see him back, gives us more strength from the bench, could he push Smith for a start.
14Washington  6.5  Another one nice to see him back, still not match fit, gives us a bit of pace up top, can see him grabbing a couple of goals on the run in, if he can stay fit.
9Collins  6.5  Help us see out the match today with his experience, welcome back Collo.
I also thought Warne got team selection bang right today, would love to see Adams and Smith in the centre and Wilson and Ward down the right for the remainder of the season 👍

Looked like he was running on empty half way through the second half, which would be understandable. Couldn’t really afford to sub him any earlier given what was coming off the bench though. I love him, but thought Smith played very well too. They would be my starting central midfield for the rest of the season.

Oh and I forgot to mention Adams, 1st half in particular I would of given him 10/10, what a signing he is a total rock in midfield, if wede of had him at the start of the season we would be promoted already.
