Wycombe Wanderers faithful need to heed clear club message to win Wrexham AFC tussle | OneFootball

Wycombe Wanderers supporters must heed the rally cries of their players to help beat Wrexham to promotion.

Wycombe Wanderers clawed back an important two points in the race for promotion on Saturday, with Caleb Taylor netting a dramatic last-minute winner to send the Chairboys just a single point behind Wrexham.

With four games to go, the Blues have a tougher run-in on paper, but after two morale-boosting victories over Huddersfield and Stevenage, they will be hoping they can chase down their Welsh rivals and retake the final automatic promotion place.

Despite a dramatic late-winner on Saturday, some supporters were left unhappy with the 89 minutes that went before Taylor's goal. Yet again, Wycombe's opponents set out in a low-block, aiming to frustrate the home side, which they did effectively before Wanderers snatched it at the death.

This led to senior players such as Garath McCleary and Jack Grimmer speaking out, urging the supporters to stick with them and cheer, rather than jeer. These messages must be taken onboard, as support is required now more than ever, with the Chairboys hoping to make history.

It's no secret that Saturday's match won't go down in the history books as a classic, or at least the first 89 minutes won't. As we've seen in recent weeks, visiting teams set up to aim to frustrate the hosts by playing a low-block, which has led to Wycombe struggling to find the net.

However, instead of willing their team on, some supporters jeered the players when things weren't going their way, ultimately piling pressure onto an already tense environment. Fortunately, when Taylor found the net, it was like someone had released that valve of pressure around Adams Park.

After the match, senior players such as McCleary and Grimmer urged the supporters to stick with them, turning those jeers into cheers. Wycombe are playing for something they've never achieved before, so naturally there will be nerves running through everyone associated with the club. But, as the two influential players pointed out, the supporters can help calm those nerves by being loud and proud in tough games.

With four huge fixtures to go, all of which are against sides currently occupying a spot in the top eight of the League One table, supporters must heed these rally cries from their players. Wanderers need a 12th-man to help get them over the line, and with the full backing of their loyal fans, confidence in the squad will be sky-high.

Wycombe has always been a family club and a tight-knit community. From promotion to the EFL in the 1990s to Gareth Ainsworth's incredible tenure as manager, the sense of togetherness around Adams Park has been ever-present, and this season has been no different.

Football can be a frustrating game, especially when there's something massive on the line. However, when a mountain is in front of the players is when they need that family around them to come together and roar them on, rather than voicing those frustrations and adding further pressure to the players.

Wrexham's slip-up on Saturday means that just a single point separates the Red Dragons and the Chairboys with four games to play. With all eyes on Ryan Reynolds' side, Mike Dodds and his players have the chance to write their own Hollywood script.

Sure, Wycombe have a harder run-in on paper, but as the Buckinghamshire club has proven time and time again - anything is possible with belief. That's why the message is simple to a fanbase who've been immense this season - stick with the players and the manager, and you might just be that extra shot of confidence they need to oust Wrexham.
