Avid Wanderers fan Will Vince is still pinching himself at the thought of the club winning promotion this season...

With only 11 games to go Wycombe’s season is starting to turn into a series of cup finals, which will determine their fate.

It feels surreal to be discussing whether the Blues could win promotion, maybe even the league, but what a refreshing change it is to the near catastrophe of last season.

Saturday’s match at Southend saw the team literally steal a point when defeat looked a near certainty.

Having been dealt a double blow prior to the game with Matt McClure’s suspension and Fred Onyedinma’s calf problem, it looked like everything was going against the team.

This combined with a poor second half performance demonstrates just what a good and maybe crucial point it was at Southend.

A football team can’t always play well but it is often said that a sign of a successful team is not to lose when you are below par, this certainly applied to the Chairboys at the weekend.

A five-point gap from the Blues to the Shrimpers in fourth is a healthy one at this stage of the season and with teams behind stuttering you could say it’s very much in Wycombe’s hands now to go on and achieve the unthinkable.

Gareth Ainsworth’s biggest job is to not let the team feel the pressure that comes with being in a promotion race, so many times before teams have fallen away when the heat gets turned up a notch.

This current group of Wanderers aren’t expected to be where they are and they’re surrounded by teams who feel they should be fighting for the title; this is where Wycombe need to put even more pressure on the teams around them.

The Chairboy’s run-in isn’t as daunting as it could be with six of their 11 remaining games are against teams in the bottom half of the table, of which only Exeter City managed to defeat the Blues in the first half of the season.

Crucially, in terms of the League Two title race, Wycombe will come up against current top two Burton Albion and Shrewsbury Town, if the team are to win the league then surely they will have to win both of these fixtures.

With two home fixtures coming up in the space of four days now is the time for the Chairboys to get their home form back on track.

Usually it’s home form that provides the backbone to a successful season but bizarrely for the Blues the away form has been vastly superior.

Having not won at home since the January 10 it’s crucial the team start winning again on their own patch.

What better time to start than this Saturday at home to Shrewsbury Town, who incidentally haven’t won a league match at Adams Park in their previous nine visits.
