Time and again the visitors caught Rochdale on the break and raced into a two-goal lead within the first 22 minutes.
After just six minutes defender Mike Williamson was left unmarked to toe-poke home a Stefan Oakes free-kick and 16 minutes later the smallest player on the field, Matt Bloomfield, headed home a cross from Kevin Betsy.
Dale threatened only briefly, although John Boardman did hit an upright and Grant Holt, who was excellent throughout, forced a great save out of Grant Talia.
The home side were given hope on 78 minutes when Gary Jones slotted home a penalty after substitute Blair Sturrock had been upended but despite frantic efforts they couldn't find an equaliser.

i went to the rochdale vs wycombe game and the fans were great the players needed a lift but unfortuanately the wycombe defence were just too good for are attack.
are good players were as follows:jamei clarke did ok,Tommy J Tried hard,Niel Brisco n Gary Jones Great and Grant Holt Never Gave up .
Hopefully we will play better on saturday
Not too sure that Rochdale 'threatened briefly'. We had 4 or 5 clear cut chances. Holty was through one on one twice and had a number of headers that he should have got on target. Wycombe did look a good side, but I left thinking that a draw wouldn't have been unfair. They had two clear chances and scored both. We had quite a few and missed most.
