On 30 January 2010 Rovers faced a Wycombe Wanderers team that were second from bottom of League One, having only won four games all season, while Rovers had won their previous five home games. The Pirates had not conceded a goal at home since the previous November, so they were clear favourites for this clash.

The game went against the form book with Wycombe, managed by Rovers old boy Gary Waddock, running out 3–2 winners. Wycombe took the lead early on from the penalty spot through future Rovers player Matt Harrold, but two strikes from midfielder Chris Lines past ex-Pirates 'keeper Scott Shearer shortly before the break made it 2–1 to The Gas at half time. Wycombe scored from a second penalty kick in the second half before Stuart Beavon secured all three points for The Chairboys ten minutes from time. It was only Wycombe's second away win of the season, and they became the first team to complete a league double over Rovers during the 2009-10 campaign.
