Wycombe Wanderers prepare to face Notts County at Adams Park this Saturday, aiming to move on from a heavy 4-1 defeat to Luton Town. The League One fixture offers a chance for Tom Hounsell's side to respond against a team struggling near the foot of the table.
Jack Grimmer's stoppage-time consolation was the sole positive from the Luton loss, which saw the hosts concede goals to Kasey Palmer, Jamie Donley, Nahki Wells and Devante Cole. That result left Wycombe 15th in the standings with 10 points from nine games. Their recent form, however, shows resilience with three wins in their last five outings across all competitions, including a 4-1 EFL Trophy victory over Bristol Rovers. The manager will be demanding a reaction, particularly in the opening phase of matches, as the team's goal minutes data shows a clear vulnerability. Wycombe have conceded a significant 40% of their league goals this season within the first 15 minutes of games.
Head-to-head and opposition form
Historical meetings between these sides have often been tight, with three of the last six ending level. Notts County arrive having lost their last three league games, conceding eight times in their last six matches. They fell 2-1 to Oxford United last time out, with Rory Finneran's late goal proving only a consolation. The Magpies sit 18th in the table, having collected 9 points from their opening nine fixtures.
Team news and key men
Goalkeeper Matt Macey remains a long-term absentee with a cruciate ligament injury. Forward Jayden Wareham, who has three league goals this season, will be looked to for a threat. Wycombe's full squad list shows the options available to Hounsell as he considers his selection. Following this match, Wycombe's next fixture is a trip to face Stevenage at the Lamex Stadium on Tuesday night.
The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday at Adams Park.
