Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Barnsley FC gets underway.
- 5' Sido Jombati needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' It looks surprising Barnsley FC does not make any changes. Nathan Tyson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 20' Wycombe Wanderers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Barnsley FC backline.
- 25' Brad Potts has been relatively quiet despite scoring 34 goals in his last 385 appearances.
- 30' George Moncur picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Zeki Fryers, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 40' Barnsley FC is showing some good football. However, Barnsley FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
- 50' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 54' A change in the Barnsley FC ranks — Cauley Woodrow exits the field as Jordan Williams enters on 54.
- 55' A stunning finish from Randell Williams — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 56' The whistle greets Mike-Steven Bahre as he departs to be replaced by Brad Potts.
- 61' The energy levels are beginning to show. Daniel Stendel might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 66' Wycombe Wanderers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 71' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Barnsley FC that had 385 games and scored 496 goals.
- 76' Zeki Fryers makes way for Mamadou Thiam at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from Barnsley FC.
- 81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jason McCarthy suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' Barnsley FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 86.
- With this win, Wycombe Wanderers FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
