And only five points behind this morningâs table toppers. We should also be above Wimbledon of course.
Contentious.

The next time we get a shit reffing decision go against us though, I will have to remember Lincolnâs equaliser being ruled out through Grimmer and Norris clattering into one another.
Heartbreak In Buckinghamshire As City Washed Out: Wycombe Wanderers 3-2 Imps | The Stacey West
The bit about Leahyâs challenge being potentially red card-worthy in the above report from Lincoln is hilarious though.
With the bit where the Lincoln player got booked for diving, I do agree that there did seem to be contact outside the area though. Hard to see at speed and from the refâs angle however.
Glad to hear that youâre no longer âdoneâ with Fred, like you said after the Fulham pen!
POTD for me

I thought there were sime quite contentious decisions that went against both sides. Leahyâs early booking was harsh to say the least, as he didnât make any contact with the Lincoln player whatsoever. Couldnât believe he booked their player for diving though, seemed a clear foul by Anders.
The disallowed goal looked correct though. Looked to me like the Lincoln player absolutely clattered Norris after heâd caught the ball. Didnât seem to be any complaints from the Lincoln players on that one at least.
Ignore button. Sorts such ting.
Leahy himself had a tackle on him which was far worse , think the person writing that report was in the ground rather then watching it on TV as I was , seeing it from the way end only gave one perspective. Yes they deserved a draw but sometimes it doesnât go your way ie Wimbledon disallowed goal they all even out at the end of the season.
Looked good in going 2-0 up, then like everyone has already said we delayed on the subs.
Oddly I thought weâd still win - thatâs the best thing Duffsy has introduced. Before his time we knew going behind was game over.
Iâd been looking forward to seeing Bradley back, but genuinely didnât even realise Reach was playing.
Any chance of bringing the programme back 
in fairness to Reach he did get the assist for the second LC goal.
This is why I said realise instead of notice.
Notice would have meant I thought the player in his position did nothing all game. Whereas I just didnât recognise him like I instantly did Bradley.
Also helped that a bloke in a nearby block kept screaming âooh Sonny Bradleyâ to the Terry Evans chant.
Though he also kept shouting âSIT DOWNâ 30-40 times a game. Must be an in joke.
As you say Malone, I also thought we would still win even though they had come back and looked pretty lively.

First half I thought how are this lot top of table?
Second half they roasted us and deserved a draw at least. Good on Captain Jack.
I also said: âBell has hardly had a touchâ a minute before he scored and âMullins looks a bit off the paceâ just before he sent Bell through.
I am handing in my managerial resignation.
Fingers crossed everyone else loses their games in hand.
(I agree about the subs thoughâŚwe needed fresh legs to take some pressure off the defence.)

In fairness to @glasshalfempty we would have been if the incumbent manager had not been dismissed.

All is looking rosy.
Quite a few teams above us have games in hand - and madly Stevenage have THREE games in hand on us, but theyâll have a pile up at some stage.
But not only are we touching distance from the playoffs on points, weâre not a million miles off top itself.
Thank goodness we only left it 7games in to make the switch!

Whilst I donât dispute that at points in the past, Fred has had plenty of indifferent games for us, for whoever it was the other day complaining that he didnât look arsed enough and fired up to be here, I would refer you to this:

Duff may have left the subs a bit late but going three at the back worked an absolute treat.

To be fair, Lincoln looked pretty tidy in the first half, but we kept them from troubling our goal much. In the second half they completely suffocated us and were half a yard quicker to everything. We showed great resilience to claw our way back in at the end after being under the cosh for so long. Duff possibly could have made changes sooner, though Finkâs introduction in particular really gave us some new impetus. He showed great tenacity and willingness to get stuck in, ultimately led to him winning the corner that Grimmer lashed home.
After some commanding wins over opponents that havenât truly stretched us, this was definitely an acid test of Duffâs tenure at Wycombe, and itâs definitely shown things are on the right track.

Pulling away quite nicely now arenât we?
One thing I certainly underestimated was the quality of the division this season. Itâs complete and utter pony which gives us a real chance.
Nevertheless we began this year top of the table, but that still wasnât enough for the manager to keep his job. Our Machiavellian overlords then bungled the appointment of his successor, having shown similar ineptitude in the transfer window. I think Iâll wait until February 3rd, 2026 before joining you and going all Pollyanna.

Superb 3 points.
Moylanâs dive to try and win a penalty was rightly spotted by the ref who was only 5 yards away and had clear sight of the dive which incidentally was outside the area anyhow.
The disallowed goal was a push which caused our two players to collide.
Delighted for Duff and the lads, great entertainment. The Lincoln lads were so gutted they were trying to pick fights after the game with Norris and Casey.
We should easily pass Lincoln by Xmas.
