Only twice in the club's history have Wycombe suffered a similar poor sequence of results, so there was a massive sigh of relief around the Causeway when Nathan Tyson netted the vital equaliser with twenty minutes remaining.
The Chairboys had been so poor in outfield positions at Oxford United's Kassam Stadium on NewYear's Day, that manager John Gorman afterwards admitted: "It would have been a travesty to have taken a point from a game, that if I was honest, we didn't deserve."
Wycombe had their captain Frank Talia to thank for not allowing the results at Christmas and the New Year to become any more demoralising than they ended up being. The Melbourne born stopper went a long way to ensuring that the club discuss a new contract before his current deal runs out in the summer.
The 32-year-old made vital saves to prevent Wycombe's goals-conceded column from taking a real bashing.
Talia denied Southend United's Wayne Gray on two separate occasions on Boxing Day, and then pulled off an acrobatic save to stop Paul Harsley scoring from 25 yards and with it any hope of Wycombe staging their short-lived revival during stoppage time at Macclesfield on Tuesday.
And against Cheltenham he made a delightful save to halt Martin Devaney extending the Robins lead very early in the second half, before saving a point-blank effort from Kayode Odejayi that threatened to steal the points away from the nervy hosts right at the death.
