Wycombe Wanderers 1 Gillingham 0 - Catch Up

This game was a real war of attrition between two form sides of League Two and the fact that it was settled by Dave Winfield’s goal was no real surprise.

The groundsmen were working until two in the morning to ensure the surface was acceptable following Wasps rugby fixture the day before, but the lack of goal mouth action had little to do with the pitch and everything to do with the fact that the two teams were so evenly matched.

My clipping from today's paper

Wycombe boss Gary Waddock rested his veteran skipper and talisman Gareth Ainsworth and resisted the temptation to bring him off the bench to shake things up and he was rewarded for the faith he showed in midfielders Matt Bloomfield and Stuart Lewis. Both midfielders worked tirelessly for the cause without ever inspiring in the same way that 37 year old Ainsworth does, but they got their reward when Winfield nodded home the winner.
