Wycombe Wanderers Reserves were beaten 2-0 by Brentford B on 12 August 2026 at Wheatsheaf Park, as Josh Dasilva and Michel Boni found the net in the Premier League Cup Group J opener.
Brentford B dominated early, pressing the Blues deep in their half. A chance from Gustavo Nunes curled just wide before Michel Boni’s cross sparked a scramble that saw Mohamed Keita’s deflection nearly land in his own net. Josh Dasilva broke the deadlock just before the hour mark, finishing from close range after a corner from Nunes. The second goal arrived when Jacob Hanson delivered a perfect ball to Boni, who steered it home.
The Bees fielded a mix of first‑team hopefuls and academy talent: goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe, midfielders Ji‑soo Kim, Yunus Emre Konak, Jayden Meghoma, Gustavo Nunes, and Jannik Schuster. Wycombe’s line‑up included keeper Samuel Keller, defenders King, Gidaree, Keita, and Kandala, with Stones receiving a booking at the 20th minute.
Although a reserve fixture, the result offers insight into the depth of Wycombe’s squad ahead of the new League One campaign. The club finished 11th in the 2025 table with 63 points, recording 17 wins, 12 draws and 17 losses, and posted a goal difference of +11 after scoring 69 and conceding 58. A solid defensive showing against a strong Brentford side could bode well for the first team’s upcoming fixtures.
Brentford B will travel to Hull City on 8 September for their next Group J match, while Wycombe Wanderers’ senior side prepares for the League One season, still 40 points behind leaders Lincoln. The reserve side will look to tighten up defensively and add goal‑scoring options as the campaign progresses.
