The Man In The Middle
Saturday's referee is avid Blades fan Colin Webster* who was brought up in the shadows of Bramall Lane before moving to his current home in Tyne & Wear. His last Wycombe game was a 4-3 defeat at Stockport County in February 2010 which I had successfully erased from my memory until a few moments ago. So far this season he's issued 7 red and 85 yellow cards in 37 games.
Prediction
Sheffield Wednesday 5 Wycombe 1
