Dreadful performance. I can just about take being done by Norwich or Brentford. But Wycombe? Has it really come to this?
People don’t want to hear it. They think a change of manager and these players all of a sudden become world beaters.
There’s going to be more tough times ahead with most of these players contracted until at least 2022.
The summer 2019 transfer window was an absolute shocker and will cost us fir the next couple of seasons at least.
Since losing to us Stoke have won just one game. They have drawn with:
Derby - 22nd at that time
QPR - 19th at that time
Coventry - 18th at that time
They are currently drawing to:
Forest - 21st in the league.
Our record is going to end up just 4 points worse than theirs over the same amount of games but we have played 3 teams in the top 6, teams who would have taken advantage of Stoke not being able to score a goal across 3 of 4 draws listed. Don't think that teams can have key players out and not struggle.
he's frigging brill on a night out

Please can we sack Harris tonight!
He should never have been appointed in the first place, just a 'two bob' appointment by The Marx Brothers upstairs.
You can't blame him for accepting the job, but really, somewhere like Barnet or Leyton Orient should have been his next stop after Millwall. Get rid tonight FFS and let's move on.
sorry. you can see players taking options to go sideways & backwards when there are better options forward. they dont believe in what they re being told. harris has lost the plot & theplayers. hes gone in the morning. its sad but thats football. our squad is talented & certainly more capable than what we just saw
Down to 15th.
On this day two years ago we beat Leicester 1-0 away to go 16th in the Premier League. We've now lost 2-1 at Wycombe to go 15th in the Championship
Shambles.
So, Harris is exonerated of any blame, as you don't seem to imply that the performances have anything to do with him. In theory then, i doesn't matter who our manager is, in fact, we probably don't need one by your reckoning as there's nothing anyone can do to improve play or performances
Many of our fans have been awful this year, think a lot made up their minds before Harris had managed a game, and have shown they don't really have the patience for a longer term project with bumps in the road. I hate to say it again but we do need more patience to ride out this rough month, and get to a better place when we have key players return.
However, I'm not going to run away from there being criticism to level at Harris. I'm worried he's not standing up to the demands of our hectic schedule and is not protecting players enough - am sure he'll point to how well the replacements have done as sign he can't do any more - and am concerned about our record against the bottom 7 in the league. There are questions he needs to find answers to, but shouldn't have to answer to those who think we can move players around without any drop-off in performance or ask players brought in to play risk-free football to pass the ball around without there being bumps in the road.
Let's not lose our heads though, especially as this season there is always going to be a game a couple of days away until it ends. The sides with the biggest squads are going to have an advantage and the rest of us need not conjure up any further disadvantage by being overly negative or taking the chance to criticise things which started 10 years ago. There will be time to review things at the end of the year with full season of evidence.
I know that you are very keen to blame Warnock for wasting the clubs money and exonerate Harris bizarrely from any blame whatsoever, but you ask whether a change of manager would suddenly turn the players into world beaters....
Do you remember the team that Warnock inherited and then added ‘world beaters’ like Bamba, Hoillett and NML, players that no one else wanted? Do you not remember that and what happened next? Please answer this...
Warnock isn’t the answer but your argument to apportion blame anywhere but on Harris is a joke.
