Match ends, Wycombe Wanderers 0, Derby County 0.
Derby's push for automatic promotion to the Championship took a hit after they drew away at mid-table Wycombe.
The Rams, who have three matches remaining, stay in second but sit just two points ahead of Bolton, who have a game in hand.
The visitors nearly took the lead in the opening two minutes when a Ryan Tafazolli header almost crept past his own goalkeeper, Franco Ravizzoli.
This started an onslaught of Derby attacks as Corey Blackett-Taylor missed an open goal from a Conor Washington cross inside six minutes.
The latter then had his attempt blocked by Jack Grimmer 10 minutes later before Nathaniel Mendez-Laing's resulting corner nearly snuck in, but Ravizzoli tipped the set-piece over.
Wycombe had several chances but nothing that tested Joe Wildsmith in the Rams goal as Beryly Lubala and Kieran Sadlier fired their attempts wide of the mark.
The second half was on a knife-edge, as Joe Low and Gideon Kodua had Wycombe's best attempts, with Conor Hourihane and James Collins going close for Derby in the final few moments but to no avail.

All the best Bolton đ
Bha man
After Bolton restricted away ticket sales because they're running scared of us, I hope Derby squeeze through.
Pompey could still be home and dry with a point at TS stadium - if other results were favourable.
Whatever the outcome - the best 2 get automatic and the 3rd spotâŚ.. anybodyâs guess !
Thanks to all for the banter this season - good laugh !
From a Pompey fan đ
No shots on target, negative tactics.
Washington should never be in the team and Blackett-Taylor was MIA for most of the match.
No automatic promotion now, playoffs here we come đ¤¨
OINO
Derby County fans - are you starting to smell the fear yet??! đ
