FULL TIME – DAGENHAM 2-2 WYCOMBE
Full-Time – A late second half fightback puts some points on the board but it should have been like that from the start. I still feel it was a poor choice in formation but the introduction of Bullock and Torres changed the game. It is unique to say Lambert made some good substitutions but I can certainly say it now.
That’s the first glimpse of an encouraging performance of the season and hopefully we will do the business at home against Bury like we normally seem to do.
16:52 – GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL! – Substitute Torres chopped down and Jermaine Easter dispatches the penalty in confident fashion under huge pressure in the 94th minute, a great fightback and has Lambert taken one foot out of his sack that was possibly winning the race?
16:50 – A tame Bullock header from the edge of the area was never going to find the net.
16:48 – Easter 12 yards out and a golden chance but he finds the outstretched hand of Tony Roberts.
16:46 – Saunders has 2 shots in 2 minutes, looking like the first half again with Wycombe stranded in their own half.
16:43 – Dagenham pressing again and it seems that a breakthrough for Wycombe is becoming increasingly unlikely.
16:41 – Wycombe continue to push and crosses are flying in from Russell Martin and Bullock. All it takes is a glance or anything off one of them.
16:37 – Sutton harshly penalised when challenging for a header. 9 minutes left, come on Wycombe!
16:35 – Danny Foster booked for timewasting, is that the arrogance that could give the Wanderers’ the boost they clearly need?
16:31 – 15 minutes of normal time left, have we left it too late? Russell Martin the next man to swing in a cross and Sutton nearly connected with it.
Correction – The cross for the goal was by Bullock, there’s little Martin’s 2 fingers up at the failing Scotsman.
16:28 – Missed the fact that John Sutton has been brought on for McGleish, can he live up to his potential and draw us level here?
16:25 – GOAL! – Easter gets out wide before putting in a great cross for Matt Bloomfield to head home, we’ve deserved it for this little comeback, why couldn’t we have done this from the start? Answer: Creative players like Torres and Bullock weren’t starting!
16:23 – Macclesfield 3-1 MK Dons, I nearly laughed and then realised we’re losing to Dagenham….
16:20 – Easter, and then McGleish go close, has Lambert made a sensible change during the game?!
16:18 – Bullock already getting crosses in and troubling the full back, he can’t do that from the bench Lambert.
16:16 – Macclesfield are now beating MK Dons 2-1, that makes me feel slightly better…ever so slightly.
16:15 – Boardman misses a header from 6 yards out, 14 games and counting Lambert, 1 more and I won’t be sad to see you go..
16:13 – Oakes and Boucaud are replaced by Torres and Bullock. We now have wide players on the pitch, I make that about 51 minutes too late.
16:09 – Dagenham are passing it around with ease, if it carries on like this, Wycombe fans are going to have to get used to grounds like Victoria Park.
16:06 – GOAL! – New half, same crap. Christopher Moore finds himself one-on-one with Shearer and makes no mistake, no way back now.
16:03 – 15 seconds in and they’re attacking the right flank, we need an established lower league left back to fill that gap….oh wait we do and he’s not in the squad.
Half-Time – Poor, poor, poor. Encouraging to start off with but this formation is absolutely baffling. Lambert is going to have some words to swing this around and knowing him, make some outrageous substitutions that make no sense.
15:45 – No left back was always going to cause us problems. D&R keep getting crosses in from the right, this is tactical ineptness at it’s best, is Lambert losing the plot?
15:40 – Oakes trying his luck again from range, looks like all his luck was used up on Tuesday night with that deflected effort.
15:35 – Macclesfield equalise against MK Dons. Can Wycombe regoup at Victoria Road? A long stray effort from Stefan Oakes suggests not.
15:33 – GOAL! – Bloody hell, a tame shot by Southern from the edge of the area is parried by Shearer and once again the defence stands still and lets Sam Sloma tap in, not good enough but D&R have deserved it.
15:30 – Wycombe are camped in their own half, cross after cross comes in and it seems the midfield is doing nothing about it.
15:25 – Johnson puts in a brave block to deny Jonathan Boardman, more pressure, is complacency creeping in again?
15:23 – Dagenham getting back into it, a Southern header is claimed by Shearer but consecutive corners have put Wycombe under pressure.
15:20 – Turning into a scrappy affair, fouls left, right and centre.
15:13 – Wycombe are enjoying more chances than the whole of Tuesday night, Oakes and the 2 Easter chances show signs of improvement.
15:11 – Goals are flying in League 2; Grimsby, Lincoln and Shrewsbury all lead early on.
15:06 – Great chance for Jermaine Easter but after being forced onto his weaker left foot, his shot is dragged wide.
15:00 – The game kicks off, which team will get their first points of the season?
14:35 – Team news arrives with huge changes for Wycombe. No wingers in action but Jermaine Easter, Russell Martin, Lewis Christon and Stefan Oakes are the changes from last Saturday’s disappointing loss to Accrington Stanley.
Looks like a 3-5-2 formation is likely with Oakes on the left and Martin playing in a more forward role.
