Wycombe midfielder David Wheeler believes witnessing the fans celebrate Jordan Obita’s goal which he assisted against Burton Albion is what ‘makes football’.
The former QPR man battled well in the six-yard box to win the ball back and square it to an unmarked Obita, who tapped-in from close range.
The goal won the Chairboys the match 2-1at the Pirelli Stadium, which booked a place in the League One play-offs.
They will now face another old side of his in Milton Keynes on May 5 and May 8 respectively.
Up the football league we go…🎶

He said: “It was incredible.
“It’s what makes football, especially after last year.
“It is such a contrast to having no fans at all.
“When you get those moments and you get those goals, you can really feel the energy and see a sea of blue.
“It’s great and those are the memories that make football."
Speaking on MK, a side that he played 19 times for and won promotion with back in 2019, he said: "From my time there, it was a successful period and it’s always going to add that little bit of spice into it for me personally.
Two more Buckinghamshire derbies lined up 💪💪 this will mean Wycombe and MK would have faced each other five times this season #Chairboys https://t.co/PXa4lKwaHk

“However, we will approach the game as normal and over two legs, we’ve just got to do the business and execute the plan the gaffer wants us to follow.”
