Stat Attack: Wycombe Wanderers vs. Notts County

Notts County and Wycombe Wanderers have faced each other a total of 30 times over the years, with the first meeting coming as late as 1995, when the Magpies won 2-0 at Meadow Lane.

The Chairboys are way ahead in the head-to-head, having beaten Notts 15 times and drawn seven – we have beaten them eight times.

The last meeting came on 28 April 2012, a thrilling 4-3 win for us at Adams Park that saw Dele Adebola and Alan Judge turn the game around with goals in the last few minutes.

In 1887, a meeting held at the Steam Engine public house in Station Road, High Wycombe saw the formation of Wycombe Wanderers F.C. It is highly likely the club was named Wanderers after the famous Wanderers, winners of the first FA Cup in 1872. The club played just friendly matches between 1887 and 1896. 

Wycombe first entered the FA Amateur Cup in 1894 and the FA Cup in 1895. In 1895 the club moved to Loakes Park, which would become its home for the next 95 years. 

In 1896 the club joined the Southern League and competed in the Second Division until 1908, but in the summer of 1908 the club declined the invitation to retain their membership of the Southern League. 

The club decided to pursue amateur instead of professional football and joined the Great Western Suburban League and remained there until the outbreak of the First World War. 

After the hostilities had ended the club joined the Spartan League in 1919 and were Champions in successive years. In March 1921 the club's application to join the Isthmian League was accepted.

Wycombe enjoyed a fairytale season in 2000–01 as the club reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. First Division sides Grimsby Town, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Wimbledon were all beaten before a memorable quarter-final with Premier League Leicester City. 

In a game that has gone down in FA Cup history, striker Roy Essandoh headed an injury-time winner to seal a 2–1 win at Filbert Street as manager Lawrie Sanchez looked on from the dressing room, having been dismissed from the touchline during the game. The ensuing semi-final at Villa Park saw Liverpool pushed all the way before claiming a 2–1 victory.

Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth is expected to select from an unchanged squad on Tuesday.

The Chairboys' fixture at Accrington was postponed on Saturday and Ainsworth has no new injury or suspension problems.

Defender Aaron Pierre hopes to return to action following suspension, but midfielder Marcus Bean and defender Joe Jacobson are still out.

Ainsworth's side, three points off the play-offs, have lost only one of their last six league matches.

Notts defender Elliott Hewitt is an injury doubt and will be monitored after sustaining a knock which forced him out of Saturday's home win against Newport.

Midfielder Stanley Aborah has missed the last two games due to a knee injury and is not expected to feature and defender Mike Edwards is also struggling after missing out on Saturday through illness.

Striker Jon Stead overcame a muscle injury in time to play the full 90 minutes at the weekend, while wingers Julian Jenner and Genaro Snijders, plus midfielder Alan Smith, are among those pushing for recalls.

Boss Ricardo Moniz has no other new injury or suspension worries as his side chase their first away win since August.
