What a night, what a game!!

Last night was a quality night, heading down to The Valley with over 4000 others from Wycombe to support the Wanderers as they took on Chalton in the Carling Cup. It was a great game, Wycombe on top from the word go, I know they are having a rough season but it was as if Chalton didn't turn up in the first half, Wycombe could have happily been two or three a head at half time. We had to settle for one, a fine 25 yard strike from Jermaine Easter on 35 min. Charton did turn up for the second half, but couldn't muster anything. Their best (and most comical) chance falling to their goalkeeper Scott Carson, in injury time, only for Jimmy-Floyd to get his head in the way, and then scream at Carson for putting him off! There is a full report of the game here, and reaction.

The game was quality, but to be honest, what was going on, on the pitch was only half of it. I don't think I've ever been to a game with such a great atmosphere. The Wycombe fans didn't cease singing and drumming the whole game. These big premiership clubs might have a massive fans base, but it is the true, loyal supporters of football that make it a game worth watching; fans who are committed to clubs not in the top flight. There were many fair weather fans there last night (i was one of them) singing and shouting as well, but it was very impressive to see the active commitment, love and enthusiasm that the obvious core committed fans had for the club.

Why can't we show God that a bit more?
