Wycombe Wanderers remain in the automatic promotion places after they played out a home 0-0 draw against relegation-threatened Northampton Town.

The opening half was a flat affair with both sides having limited chances at goal.

The visitors started the better of the two teams, as Franco Ravizzoli made a brilliant stop to deny a Tom Eaves header, while Sam Hoskins fired wide in the opening 25 minutes,

For the Chairboys, Cameron Humphreys was pulling the strings, as his through balls found Brandon Hanlan and Beryly Lubala, but to no avail.

Luke Leahy went close on two occasions as he was denied by Nik Tzanev in the Cobblers’ goal, before his cross/shot went just wide moments later.

However, the best chance of the half fell to Wanderers’ Joe Low.

The centre back, who returned to the starting 11 after missing the last two matches with tonsillitis, was brilliantly thwarted by Tzanev from point-blank range.

Seconds later, the Welshman’s header was easily caught by the New Zealand keeper.

The second period was similar to the first in that there were only a handful of chances, but Wycombe looked more likely to score.

Tzanev made himself big to deny Josh Scowen in the final quarter, whilst Fred Onyedinma’s header was again saved by the keeper.

Richard Kone’s introduction with 20 minutes remaining added urgency which Wanderers were lacking, but interim boss Sam Grace will look at his as two points dropped.

For Kevin Nolan, he has now made it five games without defeat versus Wycombe.

The Chairboys stay second, whilst Northampton sit 20th.

Up next for Wycombe is Barnsley at home on Tuesday night - their sixth and final home game of the month.
