Wycombe away...



And so to Buckinghamshire and Wycombe Wanderers tonight.  Despite the form guide indicating it should be a relatively easy run out for the Addicks tonight, it is one of those games where the home side will be up for it and looking to raise there game against 'big' opposition.  Much as they did against Sheffield United, there only home win in the league so far this season.

Having said that, when you look at the stats it was no walk over (50-50% possession, 11 shots on goals to Wycombe, 14 to to United). Apparently Wycombe set there stall out to defend and looked to catch United on the break.  If they defend to deep and don't close us down at every opportunity it will suit the patient build up passing game we do well, and could aid our own tactics greatly.

I don't expect another easy ride like Carlisle, but can see us getting back to winning ways on the road.

It will be interesting to see if any players are rested, I would doubt it.  The only questions I think will be raised would be whether Powell sticks with Hughes in the middle after his workman like performance and who will start on the wide right berth, Wagstaff or Green?

I said before that we'll have a much better idea of how this division is going to pan out coming into November, just tonight's game and a tough away fixture up at Hartlepool before the Preston game. I appreciate the old cliche that is used so often regarding the third tier and how any team can beat any team, but I think we'll be going into the next game at the Valley four more points to the good.
