Mansfield and Wycombe both impotent in boring draw

Neither Mansfield Town nor Wycombe Wanderers could find a way past each other in a dire League Two match at Field Mill.

The first incident of note was an accidental collision between Ricky Ravenhill and Peter Murphy, with the latter requiring a bandage around his head.

Sido Jombati got involved and this set the tone for the rest of the half, with a number of rough challenges coming in from both sides, but the referee's only concern was Peter Murphy's dissent which earned the Wanderers midfielder a yellow card.

Most of the action was in the middle of the park, with a long-range effort from Wycombe's Marcus Bean that was tipped around the corner by on-loan keeper Adam Smith the closest that either side would come before the break.

It was Mansfield who upped the ante just before half time. Matty Blair was through on goal, but his shot was deflected away before Ryan Tafazolli's header caused a goalmouth scramble which was eventually cleared off the line.

The game continued to break down in the second half - Fred Onyedinma, Alfie Mawson and Aaron Pierre becoming the latest Wycombe players to be given yellow cards.

Vadaine Oliver then had a great chance for the Stags, but he could only shoot wide from six yards out after Chris Clements's cross, before Junior Brown headed wide under pressure late on as the score remain deadlocked.

Despite drawing, Wycombe remain top of League Two, while Mansfield remain in 20th place.
