Apparently it's grim up north. Perhaps those who say so have never been further north than Peterborough for anything other than a football match, or have never had the pleasure to waltz around the narrow back streets of York or swanned around Harrogate with the sun high in the sky; saying that, Grimsby wasn't the finest place to venture for a brief visit on a Tuesday night.

Caught up in the action, I've been looking out for you

Hereford United 1 Wycombe Wanderers 0

Play-offs: do you relish the thought of another day out at Wembley, or do the memories of semi-final failure put you off a tad? I know where I am. That’s why Hereford is last chance saloon time, a top of the table shoot-out that Wanderers simply have to win. The heat is on.

Stand By Your Men

Wycombe 2 Wrexham 1

Rochdale 0 Wycombe Wanderers 1

Approaching Rochdale is a strange experience. With the surrounding homes already plundered for raw materials to burn upon the pitch, it appeared that the local population had been sacrificed too. No people, no parking restrictions and no over zealous stewarding, “you can do what you like here as long as you don’t cause trouble”. Er, righto.

We're not shivering, we're excited

Wycombe Wanderers 1 Rotherham United 0

The usual people were along for this one. There was Captain Scott, Roald Amundsen, Captain Oates and that Ben Fogle, all men with experience of the cold, but none of them were prepared for the Valley End. As leering specialists with Nikons snapped the red kites shitting frozen pellets onto the pitch like dark rain, the mutterers prepared for Wycombe’s latest attempt to win a home game since the bad run had begun after someone had said “oh we’re strong at home, yeah”.
