@JordRich97: “You wouldn’t think we got thrashed 5-0 at Orient last week and lost our manager soon after, it’s been a really good response to a difficult week at the club.

"Disappointed not to win but can’t knock drawing to a team 4th in League One. Molyneux, Daly, Ogle, Hendrie and Feaths all fantastic!”

@_tombaxter17: “What a performance against a team pushing for the Championship. TONY SWEENEY’S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY.”

@lloydthomas1999: “Embarrassing that their keeper was time wasting since the 25th minute.”

Some fans were disappointed with the awarding of a penalty for Wycombe which saw them equalise with 16-minutes remaining.

@ndunn53: “How can the ref come past the halfway line to ask the linesman’s advice when the other one is twenty foot away?”

@theellerton: “How on earth was that a penalty? Absolute farcical refereeing for sure!!

@sixmartlets: “As a Wycombe fan, can’t disagree with [Antony Sweeney’s] comments. Good tactics by both sides, and a good game for both sets of fans. Look forward to the replay.”
