 Wycombe just keep going

I've just watched the highlights of their cup loss to Tranmere. They consisted mostly of Wycombe hitting the woodwork, drawing great saves out of the Tranmere keeper and missing chances that would be taken more often than not. Tranmere scored with what appeared to be their two attacks in 120 minutes (!). I don't think we should take the result as an indicator of how they are playing.

They did miss some sitters and some very good saves! Definitely a red card as well.
 
I'm not convinced the Championship is a money-spinner. Players' wages go up, there will have been promotion bonuses, transfer fees go up.

Most clubs in the Championship lose money at an unbelievable rate.

 
and when you scroll down to the wage bill, Burton are lowest at £11M. So somebody else's idea that we could somehow use a year in the Championship to bank some cash looks pretty unlikely to me.

Looking at some of the other figures from this guy - only Hull made a profit of ~£100K. Burton still lost £300K, Barnsley lost £4M - These were three best performances.
 
So clubs in the Championship receive:

£2.3m basic award
£4.5m solidarity payment. So

£6.8m plus £100k for each home game televised and £10k for each away game.

But Huddersfield will receive circa £42m on parachute payments this season !!!!
 
It's ok - we'll just do what Reading, Villa, Sheff Wed and Derby have allegedly done and sell our ground to the owners at an inflated rate - oh hold on...……….
 
Wycombe are “ relentless “ at what they do says Darren Moore:
 
talking to a Watford supporting acquaintance last night, who witnessed his team get emphatically beaten at home (0-3)
yesterday.
Albeit not a happy bunny after such a defeat ( Watford failed to convert any chances created), he also asserted that Burnley's anti- football approach was 'horrible' to watch

Seeing as we got Agyei from Burnley ( therefore he should be aware of how anti football is played- at PL level-, and how to counter it), and Agyei has found his scoring boots (at last), perhaps Agyei would be a good option to start against League 1s leading exponents of anti-football in a few weeks?
