| Wrexham's second away game in only three days is a
difficult trip to fifth placed Wycombe.
It is a full League Two midweek fixture list and Wrexham will be looking
to build on the win at rivals Chester on Sunday after we moved to within
a point of second bottom Mansfield and three points adrift of
Macclesfield with games in hand on our rivals.
Wycombe have had an extra day to recover following
their impressive 2-0 home win against third placed Darlington on Saturday and this
result leaves the Chairboys in fifth position with sixty points from their
thirty-five
games.
Wycombe have been in play off contention all season
and the foundation for this success has been their form at Adams Park as
they have the third best home record this season.
The Chairboys are also mean at the back and with only
thirty-four conceded all season, they also boast the third best
defensive record in the league but their record against teams down the
bottom is not the best with defeats against Mansfield, Dagenham and
Lincoln in recent weeks.
It is a case of either a win or a defeat at the moment
at Adams Park for the Chairboys with the other recent three matches
ending up in victories against Accrington and promotion chasing
Rotherham and Darlington.
Manager Paul Lambert is in his second season in charge
of the club but rubbished rumours in the Scottish press on the weekend
linking him with a move to SPL side Motherwell at the end of the season.
Top goal scorer for Wycombe is Scott McGleish and he
has scored twenty goals so far this season.
The striker has made a good start to his career with
the Chairboys after arriving from Northampton in the summer and his goal
on the weekend ended a run of four games without a goal.
Recent Encounters:
The first game at the Racecourse back in November
ended goalless in what was Brian Carey's last league game in charge of
Wrexham.
We did have the opportunity to take all three points
but the now departed Ryan Valentine failed to convert his first half
penalty.
Our last victory over the Chairboys came at home two
year's ago and you have to go back to August 1999 for our only victory
at Adams Park in eleven attempts.
The overall record sees Wycombe out in front with nine
wins compared to our six and there have been ten draws in the
twenty-five games between the two sides.
Team News:
There is no official team news as of Monday night, but
reports suggest that Danny Sonner will miss his fourth successive game
with his Achilles tendon injury.
There are also doubts over striker Rob Duffy after he
injured his knee after coming on as late second half substitute at
Chester on the weekend, whilst Steve Evans and Neil Roberts are again
ruled out.
Wycombe manager Paul Lambert is set to hand a recall to Neil Lennon as
Matt Bloomfield is out with a leg injury.
Sergio Torres has still not quite recovered from a knee injury and Will
Antwi is short of match fitness.
Elsewhere in League Two:
Second bottom Mansfield, who parted company with Billy
Dearden on the weekend, have a difficult task when they entertain fourth
placed Hereford.
Third bottom Macclesfield also have a difficult trip
to the in form Dagenham who have pulled away from danger in recent weeks
and three points on Tuesday night will more of less make them safe.
Fourth bottom Notts County are six points clear of us
and have a home match against mid table Lincoln. |
