It’s the League One play-off final at Wembley this afternoon. That fixture could easily have been Wycombe Wanderers v Stockport County, but both sides suffered late heartbreak in the semi-finals. Wycombe conceded an 81st minute goal at Charlton, whilst County lost to Leyton Orient on penalties.

That’s not the only shared experience between the Chairboys and the Hatters this season. Both sides were top of League One during the campaign. As enjoyable as it was being top of the table during August, I don’t think many County fans expected us to be there at the end of the season. For Wycombe, however, the comedown feels a lot harder to swallow. They were at the League One summit just a couple of days before Christmas Day, but fell away from the automatic promotion places after losing their manager to Luton. An extremely difficult second half to the season at Adams Park, as Jonny King from The Wanderer fanzine explains.
