Since that painful night in the League 2 2014-2015 play-offs, Wycombe Wanderers had not visited Home Park.

That was until last Saturday when they arrived in the South West to play Plymouth Argyle, although this time it was under very different circumstances.

With league leaders Northampton Town not playing a fixture, it once again gave the Greens the chance to return to the top of the table.

The visitors named three former-Pilgrims in their line-up – Ugwu, Hayes and Cowan-Hall – all of which started in attacking positions.

Due to these players being in advanced positions for the Chairboys there was a chance that they may score against their former-club.

It took just three minutes for this to take place, and an in-swinging corner from Jacobson caused a scramble in the goalmouth before Ugwu poked the ball home.

Shortly after 19-year-old Wycombe goalkeeper Lynch sustained an injury that led to him being substituted after just 15 minutes had been played, his replacement was 46-year-old Richardson.

Despite this change looking to weaken the visitors’ defence, the Greens were unable to put the opposition goal under any significant threat.

That was, perhaps, other than a couple of chances for Reuben Reid who went through on-goal only to be seemingly hauled down by a Wycombe defender, any calls for a penalty were waved away by the officials.

This was one of many controversial decisions from referee Phil Gibbs.

His lack of control over the game led to it becoming a somewhat feisty affair in which there were moments of agitation among the players.

Another chance was squandered by Reid when injured goalkeeper Lynch was on the floor, the Argyle striker had the goal at his mercy before firing wide.

The second-half brought excitement for the Green Army with the introduction of Graham Carey for the first time at Home Park since his injury earlier in the season.

Chances fell to Nelson, Carey and McHugh. The former of which had a shot cleared off of the line while the latter had numerous goal-scoring opportunities.

The Pilgrims failed to convert any of the chances that came their way, meaning another home defeat and a failure to capitalise on their league position.

The nature of the game and the way it was officiated were catalysts for what were some unsavoury scenes at the end of the game as Wycombe manager Ainsworth appeared to launch a verbal attack on Argyle’s Derek Adams.

Tomorrow Argyle make the relatively short journey to Yeovil Town as they hope to complete ‘the double’ over their Westcountry rivals.
