And now for the answers provided by Graham:

How long have you supported Wycombe Wanderers?

Since our first great FA Cup run in 1975.

Where did you finish last season?

One point from survival in our first ever Championship season, so our best season ever.

What do you think of your manager?

We love Gareth Ainsworth even more than you Imps, he has a job for life if he wants it.

What are your hopes and expectations for the 2021/22 season?

A strong squad funded by great American owners and a Championship seasons money mean we hope for play-offs at least.

One(s) to watch?

Gareth McCleary Championship quality, Sam Vokes Premier League experience, Anis Mehmeti the Albanian Messi, oh and Bayo The Beast for the last ten minutes!

Which teams do you think will finish in the top six in League One?

Rotherham, Wigan, Sheffield Wednesday, Oxford, Sunderland, and us. Can’t bring myself to admit MK Franchise could be there.

Which teams do you think will finish in the bottom four in League One?

Doncaster, Crewe, Gillingham, and Wimbledon.

What are your thoughts on Lincoln City?

Always tough at your place, keeping out of the relegation battle means I don’t expect anything too pretty from you, it’s always close and the atmosphere is intense.

What do you think the score will be?

Heart 1-0 to us, head 1-1.

Random fact about your Club?

We have the oldest average age first-team squad in the EFL.

If you could steal one Lincoln City player for your own team, who would it be and why?

Chris Maguire. He is a bit on the young side by our standards but we had 26 shots on Tuesday night but didn’t score so a fresh striker might gee things up.

What are your proudest and most embarrassing moments as a Wycombe Wanderers supporter?

Proudest – Play-off Final win into The Championship at Wembley.

Most embarrassing – a club tweet celebrating the pre-match car park sell out vs Sunderland last month maybe looked a bit tin-pot.

Who would you say is your most underrated player?

Curtis Thompson, not by us we all love him, but you probably won’t have heard of him and he will boss the defensive midfield.

Do you have a Supporters Trust and what role do they play at the Club?

The Trust is massively important, it still owns 25% of the club and kept us afloat before they found our American 75% owners.

Which was your favourite match involving Wycombe Wanderers?

Favourite match: FA Cup Semi-Final 2001. Wycombe 1 Liverpool 2 at Villa Park. We took them all the way.

Which was your least favourite match involving Wycombe Wanderers?

My least favourite: going into the last game of the 13/14 season we had to win away at Torquay and hope other teams lost to stay in the Football League, sickening anticipation and a heart-stopping 90 minutes. But we did win and Bristol Rovers lost, so the least favourite turned into one of the greatest days out – that’s football!

Do you have a Former Players Association at Wycombe Wanderers?

Our ex-players association is very active, and I believe one of, if not the, biggest in the EFL, they have a box at every home game, fans dinners, golf days and they are all welcomed back as heroes.
