St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas was happy to take the postives after grinding out a 0-0 draw with Inverness on the final SPL Saturday of 2012.
Billy McKay and Andrew Shinnie both had two one-on-ones in the opening stages while David McCracken's header was cleared off the line.
Lomas said: "I thought it was set up to be two attacking teams and it probably turned out to be a little bit of an anti-climax.
"Inverness had a couple early and then I thought it became pretty even Stevens.
"In these tight games when you get your chances you have got to take them.
"Gregory had a chance, one-on-one with their goalkeeper. You could say he made
a good save but when it's so tight you have got to take those opportunities when
they come along.
"The plus side is we are the first team to stop Inverness scoring in a while so we'll take the positives."
Wanderers took the lead with only meaningful attack of the game, in the 11th minute, immediately after they had survived going behind when Argyle striker Nick Chadwick's shot on the turn cannoned off a post.
Chairboys midfielder Matt Spring, back in the team after suspension, dispossessed his opposite number Luke Young to play in McClure.
The striker, who had also been recalled after a ban, took the ball in his stride and shot across home goalkeeper Rene Gilmartin to bring the home side's five-game unbeaten December run to an end.
It was tough on the Pilgrims, who made all the running throughout the entire game, with Chadwick, Robbie Williams, Paris Cowan-Hall and Conor Hourihane all thwarted by Wycombe's overworked defence in the first half.
It was much more of the same after the interval, with Cowan-Hall hitting the bar and both Chadwick and Darren Purse heading narrowly wide.
