Play-off battle ends scoreless

Mon 24 Mar, 08:00 PM


Stockport's charge towards the automatic promotion places was dented as Jim Gannon's men were held to a 0-0 draw at fellow high-flyers Wycombe.In stark contrast to the 6-0 thrashing County gave the Chairboys earlier this season, Paul Lambert's 100th game in charge of Wanderers was an extremely tight contest with only three shots on target.

The first decent effort on goal did not arrive until three minutes before the break when Stockport's Anthony Pilkington hit a curling effort just wide of Frank Fielding's post.

Wycombe's only chance of the first half fell to Leon Knight, but the former Swansea striker blazed over after being picked out in good position by Russell Martin.

The hosts came bursting out of the blocks after half-time and a surging run and cross from Gary Holt found Scott McGleish, but his goalbound header was blocked by Tommy Rowe.

Stockport substitute Johann Smith then headed a late chance straight at Fielding as both sides lost ground in the scramble for promotion.
