Manager Peter Taylor has led Wycombe into League One

Wycombe dramatically sealed promotion to League One by the tiniest margin after they slumped to a last-day defeat at home against Notts County.

The Chairboys went up by a single goal after finishing on the same points as Bury, who beat Accrington 1-0.

Wycombe went behind as John Thompson's long-range shot squeezed past Jamie Young, but they levelled when David McCracken slotted in Gary Holt's pass.

Thompson won it with a superb shot late on, but Wycombe were not to be denied.

Had Bury scored one more goal in their match at Gigg Lane, Wycombe would have had to settle for a place in the play-offs.

But despite needing only a draw to secure their promotion, they will be playing in League One next season.

Wycombe:

Young, Hunt, McCracken, Sinclair, Woodman, Sawyer (Bloomfield 82), Doherty, Holt, Zebroski, Pittman (Harrold 71), Akinde.
Subs Not Used: Jones, Oliver, Phillips.

Goals: McCracken 52.

Notts County:

Pilkington, Picken, Edwards, Hunt, Clapham, Hamshaw, Thompson, Strachan (Richards 57), Weston, Canham (Facey 64), Fairclough (Tann 70).
Subs Not Used: Forrester, Butcher.

Goals: Thompson 30, 90.

Wycombe are promoted.
