O/T:- Wycombe Wanderers

[the_anticlough]

Yeah, I liked Curtis, you could certainly never fault his effort but I wouldn't be surprised to see him released from Wycombe when his contracts up. Not sure he's Championship quality, he's only ever been a sub for them in the few times I've watched them. But well done to them, one of the smaller budgets in L1 as well.

It was good to see an ex-Notts stalwart get some success - and at a higher level.
I agree with the above though, he seems to be a sub used for 30 mins or so to defend a lead. Although he's probably at his peak now, the playing styles and bigger, slicker pitches in the Championship would be tough step up for many lower league players. Maybe Wycombe will keep him as a squad player, but being involved in the success there should at least earn him a starting role lower down. Good luck to him.

Not sure which games you and the poster you agreed with have watched but you must have been extremely unlucky. Looking at his stats in their last 24 games (he missed their first 10) he missed 3 games, one of which he was suspended for, he started and played over 60 minutes in all but 2 games, most of them (17) he played 80+ minutes.

You think watching Wycombe games makes you lucky

Curtis was 6/10 consistently. It’s funny how some seem to give ‘one of our own’ more time to develop and way more leeway than some of the signings we have made. Some described as ****e before a ball is kicked in anger.
Wycombe are a tin pot club, punching well above their weight. Yes they have a decent manager. Some of the players are OK but it won’t take long for them to slip back down to League 2.
I hope they enjoy there stint in the Championship but I fear it will be a short stint and result in back to back relegations.

Unlucky in terms of managing to pick the two games all season where Thompson had the role you described.

They've been taken over today by the world's 581st richest man worth over 4 billion apparently (Forbes list) . So that's yet another club that was once smaller and lower in the pyramid than us that's struck gold and one that we probably won't be able to keep up with.

It might be a better idea to remember that we have a club and Ray Trew or Alan Hardy are not running it! it also looks very dodgy. A tech guy from Kazakhstan? What could possibly go wrong!

Everything that glistens ain't gold, and even if this particular owner is gold, their ability to shoot Wycombe to the moon will be limited by the so-called Financial Fair Play rules, which in reality weren't put in place to protect small clubs, but to protect big clubs from the potential threat of being usurped by artificially financially enhanced smaller clubs. If the football authorities really wanted to enforce Financial Fair play they could instigate a wage cap across all divisions tomorrow, but that ain't going to happen!

As kill-the-drum says, I'm more than happy to stick with our current owners. They will make mistakes along the way of course, but I'm as certain as I can be that their intentions for the club are good and genuine.
