You're right but we'll beat them on Saturday and then they'll be out of it again!

I thought we were running out of steam but by all accounts we battered Ipswich today but needed Danny Welbeck up front to put the chances away!

A terrible day for Wycombe. Now need to beat Torquay and hope one of Northampton, or Bristol Rovers lose.

It's going to be tough as although Torquay are down already they're on a winning run and Wycombe aren't. Maybe the only crumb of comfort is that Torquay prior to this last game have had something to play for. Now they haven't and they ain't got the best home record.

Yes, I don't know of it's better playing a team who are already down, to one who are scrapping for every 50/50? A team already down can relax, and play with no pressure, which can be a good thing. All we can do is win, and hope.

It's ironic for you that you need Oxford United to do you a favour next Saturday.

I was thinking the same. We're not massive rivals, but there are quite a few Wycombe and Oxford fans in the village where I grew up.

Would not have expected Wycombe, Bristol Rovers and Northampton to be in a relegation scrap at the start of the season. There is virtually no difference between all sides in League Two.

We are staying up, I say we are staying up!

Not that Bradford were ever in a relegation scrap, but it's a relief that League One status is mathematically secured. A massive period of transition due to a combination of being found out tactically wise and losing Nahki Wells, but Phil Parkinson is working on a new formula.

A lot of players are also out of contract this season; just hope Stephen Darby, James Meredith and Nathan Doyle agree terms as they are key assets.

Kevin Phillips announces his retirement from professional football

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27193835

How he didn't make more than 8 appearances for England is beyond belief, so under-rated.

Came into pro football late didn't he? I suppose being up against Shearer, Owen, Fowler, Sheringham, Heskey(?) amongst others didn't help his international career.

Johnnie Jackson scores an important goal for Charlton in their fight for survival.

Birmingham are losing 1-0 at home to Wigan, in what is Zigics final B'Ham game, he is on OVER 70k a week.
