2014 Accrington Stanley V Wycombe Wanderers (home)
2014/15 Prediction League - Game 21; v Wycombe (home)
I thought, this week, we’d start with the five most interesting facts about Wycombe ………….
1………..
2………..
3………..
4………..
5………..
OK, moving right along; this week’s starter for 10; what links the Stanley, Oldham Athletic and Ipswich? Answer – but you all knew that – is that they’re the teams with the longest continuous tenure in Leagues 2 and 1, and the Championship!
Right; Wycombe ………..they nearly made it into the League in 1992, but lost out to Colchester on goal difference. They made it the year after, though, under Martin O’Neill (who then turned down the Manager’s job at Forest to stay with the Chairboys) – and the won the FA Trophy to boot, beating Runcorn 4-1; in 93/94 they made the Playoffs, putting out Carlisle in the Semis and then PNE in the Final (4-2) ……….they’ve been up and down quite a bit – promoted most recently in 2008/9 and 2010/11, but with short stays each time ………..they’re possibly most famous for their FA Cup exploits in 2000/1, when they beat Harrow Borough, Millwall after a replay, Grimsby – also after a replay –Wolves 2-1, the Wombles on penalties after two 2-2 draws, and Leicester 2-1, before eventually succumbing to Liverpool in the Semi-Final 2-1, which won them the FA Cup Giant Killers Award for 2000/01 ……………. I didn’t actually know there was one, but there we are ………..
Best known summer signings were one Peter Murphy, and his former team-mate Joe Jacobson, who appear to be playing a storm …….Famous ex-managers include John Gregory, Lawrie Sanchez, Tony Adams, John Gorman, Paul Lambert, Peter Taylor and Gary Waddock (who HASN’T been appointed as Assistant Manager of Portsmouth with a view to him taking over from Andy Awful …………….Honestly! True as I’m riding this bike …………)
Top of the League, scoring for fun; P20 W12 D5 L3 F35 A18 for 41 points …… And this, remember, the side who should, but all that’s right, have gone down to the Conference only 7 months ago ……..At home – 5 wins, 3 draws and two defeats; away, seven wins, two draws (York 0-0 and Pompey 1-1) and one defeat (Exeter 2-1)
They departed the League Cup 1-0 at Millwall, and the PaintyThing by the same score to Coventry; the FA Cup they beat Barnet 3-1 before losing to the Wombles 1-0 at home ….
Leading scorers are Paul Hayes (9), Peter Murphy (7), Paris-Cowan-Hall, Matt McClure and Sam Wood with 4, and Joe Jacobson with 3. Bragging rights are up for grabs – P12, W4 D4 L4 …………two draws last season (and I think we’d settle for that now, wouldn’t we?
Short thread, ‘cos I’ve dragged meself off me sick bed to do it …. Rules are the same as always though …………deadline for entries is scheduled kick-off time, which is 3.00pm this Saturday, 20th December.
Me and my mate Chimer wish you all a Very Happy Christmas (don’t we Boss?) ……… Good luck to everyone ………Keep the Faith! ………..And thanks for playing!

Murphy got Jamie Devitt sent off earlier this season and after he was booed his dad was fighting in our main stand and hospitality lounge.
They are quite a decent team but they are experts at pulling shirts and wasting time.

Nice to see you back, Morecambe Red. Did you enjoy your win against Luton who had 5 regulars injured and had only 10 men for most of the match?

With the budget Luton have , 5 out is no real handicap , we also had players out hence a 39 year old in midield (Stew Drummond)
We were murdering them when they still had 11.
So the answer is yes I did enjoy the win
