The club loitered around the automatic promotion places for most of the season, being top of the table for a total of 10 weeks throughout the campaign.

Before the initial suspension of the league in March, Wycombe was in eighth but due to the points-per-game system, Gareth Ainsworth’s men leapfrogged into third.

We look back on Wycombe’s history-making season exploring the highs and lows of the campaign to date.

August

Wycombe were unbeaten for the whole of August, winning three and drawing three.

The three wins all came at Adams Park with the draws coming away from home.

This foreshadowed the rest of the season as the Chairboys had one of the best home records in the division but were struggling on the road.

The only downside of the opening month was that they were unable to produce back-to-back wins.

Wycombe started the season in fine form with a 2-0 home win against League One newcomers Bolton Wanderers.

The next home game saw a local derby that entertained fans with a five-goal thriller as MK Dons travelled to Adams Park.

David Wheeler scored a stoppage-time winner to win the game 3-2 for the home side, against his old club.

And an early play-off clash away from home against Fleetwood ended in frustrating fashion, as Joey Barton’s men snatched a point with a stoppage-time equaliser.

Wycombe bounced back four days later with a seven-goal thriller at home to Southend, with late goals from Anthony Stewart and Scott Kashket saw Wycombe recover from 3-1 down to win 4-3.

September

After an impressive 3-1 win against Lincoln, which included a Joe Jacobson hat trick, Wycombe lost their first game of the season on the road against Gillingham, going down 2-0.

However, Ainsworth’s army reacted well as they earned seven points out a possible nine form the rest of the games in September.

A 1-1 draw against Accrington was followed by an impressive win against promotion favourites Portsmouth with Akinfenwa’s penalty being the only goal of the game.

Ainsworth’s men then won their first game away from home with a dominant performance against Rochdale winning 3-0, and this meant the club won back-to-back games for the first time of the season.

This string of results left the club in the automatic promotion places going into October.

Four goals were enough for Wycombe to win three games on the bounce, as the Chairboys didn’t concede a goal all month.

A 2-0 away victory against Tranmere came in-between home wins against Shrewsbury and Doncaster.

November ended with a goalless draw in a top of the table clash against Ipswich.

A late goal by Joe Jacobson saw Wycombe defeat Rochdale at Adams Park in mid-January, but three days later, they were again smashed 4-0, this time by the powerful Peterborough.

And following the news that Wycombe would be in the play-offs thanks to the points-per-game formula, the Chairboys will face Fleetwood on July 3 and July 6.

Will this season fairy tale story have its happy ending?
