Blues midfielder Cameron Humphreys is gutted that his loan side Wycombe Wanderers were beaten 1-0 by Charlton Athletic in the League One play-off semi-final last night but says he will look back on the spell positively once the dust settled.

Matt Godden’s goal nine minutes before the end of the second leg at the Valley won the tie for the Addicks, who will face fellow Londoners Leyton Orient for a place in the Championship at Wembley on Sunday 25th May.

“I’ve had some good days and I’ve really enjoyed my time and when I think back on it in a couple of weeks it will be a really good season for me personally and for the club,” Humphreys told the Chairboys official media after the match.

“But right now, I’m gutted, very disappointed. There wasn’t much in either game. We had a moment, they had a moment and they took theirs. But when I look back on it on the whole, it’s been a really good season.”

The 21-year-old made 44 starts and six sub appearances in all competitions over the course of the season, scoring seven times as Wycombe finished fifth in the table having been firmly in the automatic promotion battle for much of the campaign.

“I thank the fans, I want to thank the staff, all my teammates welcomed me in really well, we’re lucky to have a really good senior group and some good young players as well,” he added.

“I thank everyone connected to the club, I’ve really enjoyed my time here and I think when I look back on it in a few weeks it will be a really good season for me. I have really enjoyed it, but it’s obviously just a shame it has ended how it has.”

Humphreys, who is contracted until the summer of 2026 with the club having an option for a further year, will rejoin the Blues for pre-season aiming to be part of Kieran McKenna’s plans for Town’s 2025/26 Championship campaign.

Linkboy13 added 17:02 - May 16 He's had a good season but didn't really show up last night against a physical Charlton team. A very talented player but will he get many games at Ipswich where the squad is going to be even stronger than when he departed.

41826 added 17:38 - May 16 Very difficult two Playoff games for Cam against Charlton where both Managers decided to play the long ball bypassing Midfield, I think this may have been a mistake by Wycombe who normally go through the midfield. John F.

OliveR16 added 17:39 - May 16 Linkboy13 - He's still so young - he might go back to Wycombe on loan. He isn't Taylor standard yet and I'm not convinced that Taylor will be more than a back-up player next year. But Cam should reach Championship level at least in a year or two.

armchaircritic59 added 19:21 - May 16 Yes the game last night largely passed him by, more by tactics than desire though. Which is a bit odd as he's already acquited himself decently at a higher level than that, so you'd have thought Wycombe would have played to his strengths. On what I've seen of the League One Playoffs so far, I'm starting to realise why Birmingham rattled up a huge number of points!

Bazza8564 added 09:21 - May 18 OliverR16. Spot on fella! At best I can see Humphreys Taylor and Morsy as 3-4-5 in the pecking order (but not necessary in that order) because I believe we will spend good money to bolster MF this summer. Whether thats attempting to keep Cajuste and Phillips (doubtful) or re-sign Downes plus one more (as has been long rumoured). We got caught out this season in CMF, the two loanees never got fit enough and Sam and Mass plus Taylor was nowhere near up to the mark. Sam turns 34 this summer. Im expecting a lot of money to be spent in CMF, but i won't be against Cam returning as one of five midfielders
