Freedom Pass

The in vogue response to Wycombe crashing out of the League Cup at Plymouth is "aye, decent, wouldn't want to win a cup game, the league's our cup final, 45 UEFA Cup Finals left, three points at Dagenham, points points points, all we need is mother freakin' points you mother freaker."

But that response is a foolish one, as it doesn't take a crystal ball and a patterned neckerchief to predict that this season could well be run by Captain Dreary and the Gloom Soldiers. Mid-table in League Two is not a pretty place to be, aesthetically as poor as a seaside town in February but with no red light district to soothe the pain.

Throwing away a chance of a cup run, therefore, is a short sighted decision, and one that too many Wycombe fans have seized upon with delight. Last season's early game at Fulham was a chance for fans to demonstrate the new range of leisurewear and at least three types of haircut had their debut on the banks of the Thames. This season that opportunity has gone and the coming months could be horrifically functional, with dark rumours that Farah slacks could be numerous at Dagenham tomorrow.

Worrying scenes.
