The line up was a mixture of youth, experience and potential cast offs. Cole was in goal behind a back four of Yelland, Ukah, Evatt and Hislop. Miller, Bean, Lomas and Howell were in midfield with Townsend and Moore up top.

Rangers took the lead in the first half thanks to a twice taken penalty. Stefan Moore climbed to head a Miller cross against the bar and the referee saw an infringement. Moore took the pen but it was saved by Wanderers keeper Sean Alloway saved his poor effort. The ref decided that he had moved too soon though and Moore gave him no chance with his second attempt.

Jake Cole was forced off with an ankle injury midway through the first half. It remains to be seen how long he is out for, if it is for any length of time then he may well be able to get his impending FA ban out of the way. For those that don’t know he has been charged with violent conduct for rushing to the aid of a team mate who was being assaulted. How dare he…

Halfway through the second half Wycombe equalised thanks to Jonny Dixon (a player who always seems to impress against Rangers). Rashid Kamara made the opening for Dixon and he slotted calmly past sub keeper Sean Thomas.

Rangers retook the lead when Adam Miller’s headed pass sent Moore racing goalward. He kept cool to slide the ball past Alloway and claim his second of the game. Things seemed rosy until a contentious penalty in the dying seconds handed Wycombe a lifeline.

Evatt was adjudged to have fouled Dixon and the same player dusted himself off to claim his brace from the spot. Although the team may have been disappointed not to have won the main aim of the afternoon was accomplished and that was to get Steve Lomas through the full ninety minutes. Hopefully we will see him in the middle of the park for the first team sooner rather than later.
