    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    Norwich centre-back Grant Hanley gets frustrated and flings his arm into the midriff of Scott Kashket, who goes down and makes a meal of things.

    It was a bit cheeky of Hanley but nothing that warranted any great punishment, and the game goes on.

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    When you're allowed to change half of your outfielders, as Wycombe have done, I guess fatigue becomes less of an issue.

    Expect the hosts to throw the kitchen sink at this final 15 minutes, if they can get enough of the ball.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 75 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    The one flaw in Emi Buendia's game is he does tend to pick up more than his fair share of cards.

    Wycombe sub Scott Kashket beats the Norwich man and is fouled, so the Argentine is yellow-carded - probably for an accumulation of offences.

  4. Postpublished at 72 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    Wycombe have a little spell of possession and Daryl Horgan floats in a cross but it's meat and drink for Norwich keeper Tim Krul.

    Uche Ikpeazu needs a better quality of delivery to make something happen.

  5. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    There was around a four-minute stoppage there for the injury to Jordan Obita and the resulting changes, giving time for Wycombe to regroup.

    Can they find a second wind for this final 20 minutes?

  6. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 69 mins

    And there are plenty more Wycombe changes.

    Daryl Horgan, Scott Kashket, Curtis Thompson and Nnamdi Ofoborh are all on - that's all five subs made by Gareth Ainsworth.

    Anis Mehmeti, Garath McCleary, David Wheeler and Dominic Gape come off.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    Wycombe full-back Jordan Obita has been struggling with an injury for a little while and eventually he goes down for treatment.

    Luckily the hosts have a ready-made replacement as veteran Joe Jacobson - himself just returning from injury - comes on.

  8. Postpublished at 65 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    That would've been outstanding had it gone in!

    Norwich only half-clear a long throw, David Wheeler heads it back into the mix and Uche Ikpeazu connects perfectly with a scissor kick which flies not too far off-target.

    While it's only 1-0 Wycombe have a chance.

  9. Postpublished at 63 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    Anis Mehmeti wins a useful free-kick is his own half to give Wycombe some respite. Having said that, a counter attack may have been on.

    It looks like Gareth Ainsworth is preparing some changes for the hosts.

  10. Postpublished at 61 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    Has anyone worked out why Norwich playmaker Emi Buendia wasn't picked up by a Premier League club last summer?

    Young, a box of tricks, pretty consistent and lots of end product.

    Garath McCleary is the third Wycombe player to be booked since half-time, for catching Canaries left-back Dimitris Giannoulis.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 58 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    Wycombe's Dominic Gape goes to ground, doesn't get the ball and is promptly booked.

    That Teemu Pukki opener had some luck about it, but since going ahead Norwich have really gone for the kill.

  12. CLOSE!published at 56 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    If Wycombe aren't careful all their hard work in the first half is going to count for nothing, as Norwich are threatening to take this game away from them.

    This time Onel Hernandez picks out Emi Buendia around 10 yards out and the Argentine blazes over the bar.

  13. CLOSE!published at 54 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    Onel Hernandez has spurned another great chance to score for Norwich.

    Mario Vrancic picks him out but as he bears down on goal he fluffs his lines and the ball goes harmlessly wide.

    Meanwhile, David Wheeler has been booked for Wycombe, who are rocking.

  14. Postpublished at 53 mins

    Wycombe 0-1 Norwich

    That's seven goals in five games for Teemu Pukki, who's back to his poaching best.

    And of course Emi Buendia had to be involved in the build-up. The pair have an unbelievable understanding.

    Teemu Pukki (51 mins)

    Emi Buendia beats his man out wide and crosses for Norwich talisman Teemu Pukki, whose shot takes a deflection on its way in.

    It's a pretty average strike that Wycombe keeper David Stockdale would probably have saved, but the nick off Josh Knight takes it past him.

    Gutting for Wycombe but the Championship leaders are ahead.

    Wycombe 0-0 Norwich

    Max Aarons gets in down the right for Norwich but Wycombe defend the cross.

    However the full-back beats Jordan Obita again and this time Onel Hernandez heads the cross wide.

    Aarons is an absolute menace for Norwich and Hernandez should do better.

  17. Second halfpublished at 46 mins

    Wycombe 0-0 Norwich

    They're back up and running at Adams Park.

    We're yet to see much of a gulf between the sides but maybe that'll change as the teams turn to their benches.

    It only loosely has to be about the game and anything light-hearted is always welcome.

    I'm quite looking forward to seeing how this second half plays out.
