After what has to go down as a disappointing bank holiday weekend for the Blues I’m uplifted by the positivity that is still very much dominating all talk Wycombe Wanderers. A spirited, yet unrewarded performance at Burton on Monday was certainly nothing to get too downhearted about, especially given the dose of fortune that was supplied courtesy of Morecambe’s shock victory at Bury.

The performance against Oxford was disappointing but the result was hardly surprising, Oxford have a good record at Adams Park and after winning away at Bury a month ago, have proved that they’re a match for anyone on their day.

Had Fred Onyedinma’s clear run on goal not been ended with a rugby style tackle from an Oxford defender, or even just spotted and appropriately dealt with, we would have had a completely different game on our hands. That incident, along with the Burton keeper escaping with just a yellow for handling the ball outside his area on Monday, summed up Wycombe’s weekend.

As I watched on from the press box at Burton on Monday I couldn’t help but notice Gareth Ainsworth singing and clapping along to the chant ‘Chairboys, Barmy Army’. At first I thought it was bizarre but it tells you all you need to know about what’s happening at this football club.

There really is no divide between the different elements that make up Wycombe Wanderers at the moment; this is one football club all pulling in the same direction and it was epitomised by Ainsworth on Monday afternoon.

While many teams before have buckled under the pressure that comes with a promotion run in, I’m hoping that the positive vibes that surround Wycombe Wanderers at the moment are a sign that it isn’t being felt. After all, this time last year we were nearly non-league, or worse.

Five games to go, all of which are very winnable, the dream is still very much on. Cheltenham at home on Saturday is an obvious banana skin with the Robins currently propping up the table but having just appointed Gary Johnson as their manager they will be well prepared. Wycombe know what it’s all about to be scrapping for points at the wrong end of the table, the team and staff need to use their experience of last year to outwit a team who will be battling for their lives.
