Shrewsbury 2-0 Wycombe: Matt Bloomfield loses first game in charge of Chairboys
Saturday 25 February 2023 18:32, UK
Wycombe started life after Gareth Ainsworth with a 2-0 defeat at fellow play-off chasers Shrewsbury.
Ainsworth racked up 550 games in the Chairboys' dugout before returning to QPR, a club he made over 140 appearances for and twice managed on a caretaker basis.
But there was no new manager bounce for Matt Bloomfield as Jordan Willis' own goal and substitute Rekeil Pyke's late effort did the damage at New Meadow.
Steve Cotterill's Shrews completed the double over their visitors as they stretched their home winning streak to four games.
The visitors had the best early chance as Brandon Hanlan fired into the side-netting after racing into the box.

But Christian Saydee did well to fight his way past two Wycombe defenders before his dangerous cross was turned into his own net by Willis in the 31st minute.
Marko Marosi ensured the hosts went into the break ahead with a brilliant stop to keep out Jordan Obita's free-kick.
Wanderers pushed for a leveller as Obita fired a free-kick over and Chem Campbell forced Marosi into a decent save after cutting inside.
But hopes of a late leveller were squashed when substitute Pyke poked home the rebound after Max Stryjek saved his initial shot.
