Nerves have kicked in nails are getting shorter, would say I’m shifting myself over this game but the Mrs would tell me to get of our sofa
 
I'd got for this starting lineup:

Eastwood
Long Dickie Mous Ruffels
Gorrin
Brannagan Browne
Henry Taylor Sykes

SUBS: Agyei, Mackie, Forde, Woodburn, Kelly, Hanson, Moore, Atkinson, Stevens

Nothing against Moore, he's done well and improved a lot as the season has gone on, and I look forward to him becoming a first team regular in the future, but at the moment, from what I've seen this season, I think we're a better team with Mous in the side, and I feel we need Mous for his experience, composure and leadership skills, and feel he's been such a stand out performer all season, that he deserves his pace in the side.

That said, I don't think my heart could cope with us needing to chase the game in search of goals late on, so start with the most attacking lineup, go for the throat, get an early goal, another before half time, then come out for the second half, grab a third, then make the relevant changes, and shut up shop, please god let it be that simple!!

Whatever happens though, Robbo and the lads have been incredible all season, and given us some amazing occasions, and have made us all very proud. ?

One final push lads, and we're there!!!!

COME ON YOU YELLOWS!!

Moore will play today...with the lack of game time it's not a time for experiments. In fact I'd start with the same XI as the second leg vs Pompey.
The main 90 mins might be very different to the semis, but we/KR still has to consider the possibility of extra time and penalties with his lineup
 
This is like when your a kid clock watching through the night waiting for 7 am so you can wake your parents up to open Xmas presents. Don't know how much more I can bare it. 1 more hour of work to go. ?

It's hardly an experiment, Mous has been one of our standout performers all season, and looked pretty sharp for the few minutes he was on against Pompey, even if it was only a few minutes!

But like I said, I've got nothing against Moore, and will be happy if he starts, I just feel we'll need Mous's experience and leadership out on the pitch, as Wycombe will be a handful.
 
It’s not a rivalry because there is no history. Rivalries grow after years of events good bad and ugly...... To me rivalry needs that edge, even an unsavoury edge, which just isn’t there with Wycombe.
Reckon there will be if we get the wrong result tonight
 
Perhaps a little bit controversial, but I'd start the side that played the first leg, so:

Eastwood
Long Dickie Moore Ruffels
Woodburn Gorrin Brannagan
Henry Taylor Browne

I think there's a chance that Woodburn could do something unexpected, he's a quality player that just didn't have the rub of the green vs Pompey. It'd also mean that Sykes would be an option to bring on, and it would be tantalising to have him and Agyei to come on if the game needed changing, especially if Matty goes off for Mackie. Moore started our last five league games and started both play-off matches, so he almost certainly will start tonight ahead of Mous.
 
Isn't the A404 a trunk between M40 and M4 ? Sorry bazzer, just trying to waste a bit of time really :D
I problem but if the Wycombe want a rivalry with Reading if they win tonight that would be the quickest way but knowing the Wycombe they will probably go M40 M25 M4 and Reading will do the same but in reverse as they’re not the quickest out of the blocks
 
Anyone want to set up some forum zoom meetings so we can go mental together ? [emoji3]

Quickest way then is Trunk-Motorway so it would be the A404/M4 Derby, but known to supporters as the M40/M25/M4 Derby.
There you go, wasted an hour (y)
