Loan signings Scott Dobie and Kevin Ellison were handed their debuts and there was a welcome return for defender Simon Ramsden, who has been dogged by hip and calf problems since the start of the season.

City lost striker James Hanson due to a leg injury in the 18th minute, Gareth Evans coming on to take a central striking role flanked by Ellison and Dobie.

The closest either side came in the first half was when Luke O’Brien cleared off the line from Chris Westwood following a corner from Wycombe’s Matt Bloomfield.

Tom Adeyemi replaced Jon Worthington at the break and City also lost David Syers through injury before taking a 70th-minute lead, Ellison sliding in at the far post to convert Luke O’Brien’s cross and celebrate his debut in style.
