With Lee Trundle injured (and appearing on Soccer AM), Swansea reverted to a 4-4-1-1 formation, with Andy Robinson playing just behind Paul Connor in attack. Jackett replaced the injured Trundle and Iriekpen with Leon Britton and Garry Monk respectively.
Gueret
Gurney - Monk - Austin - Ricketts
Forbes - Martinez - O'Leary - Britton
Robinson
Connor
The visitors started brightly and dominated the first fifteen minutes with some slick passing and solid defending. Kris O'Leary forced a finger-tip save from Wycombe goalkeeper Frank Talia before Andy Robinson's goal after fifteen minutes. After Forbes was fouled about 30 yards from goal, Andy Gurney fired in a low drive that Talia failed to handle. Robinson fired home the rebound and sent the 800 or so away fans delirious.
Swansea then proceeded to sit back and allow the so-called "league leaders" to attack them, but stood strong under (at times) heavy pressure. Poor clearances were allowing Wycombe to virtually dominate the remainder of the first half, but Swansea remained cool in defence - allowing Wycombe only long-range efforts on target.
Just minutes before half-time, Andy Gurney danced free on the edge of the area and fired just wide of both the far post and the incoming Paul Connor. The Swans could have deemed themselves unlucky not to be two nil up, while their hosts would be receiving an almighty rollicking for a poor first half showing.
Swansea came out in the second half with the same intentions - to defend their lead at all costs and attempt to hit Wycombe on the break. Once again, Wycombe offered little threat in attack and Swansea almost doubled their lead on the hour mark when Kevin Austin was a whisker away from meeting an Andy Robinson corner.
With around half an hour to go, the hosts bought on Ian Stonebridge up front and the substitute should have done better with an immediate chance after Wycombe had broken through Swansea's back-line for the first time - firing wide from a decent position.
Swansea battled and remained solid at the back and, with the exception of one hectic moment when Andy Gurney headed a free-kick against his own bar, stayed composed at the back. As the clock wore down, Wycombe attempted to throw everything at their opponents, but Swansea held on and claimed three more crucial points.
Kenny Jackett will be ecstatic after this victory and the way in which his side defended throughout the 90 minutes. To travel away to the league leaders and have your goalkeeper completely untested is testament to the tactics and team spirit throughout the side. For Tony Adams...its back to the drawing board after an inept display at home.
