Kevin Nolan has stressed that Notts County cannot just focus on Adebayo Akinfenwa in Saturday's League Two trip to Wycombe Wanderers. The veteran striker is one of the biggest names in lower-league football due to his physique and is a difficult proposition for any opposition back line. He scored at Meadow Lane last season as the Chairboys won 2-0, though he failed to get off the mark in the reverse fixture, but Nolan insists Wycombe have other dangerous players in their front line. "To only focus on Akinfenwa does a disservice to Wycombe and the quality they put into the penalty area," he told the official club website. "They play to their strengths and stretch defences with Nathan Tyson and Paris Cowan-Hall up alongside Akinfenwa. They work well as a team. "It's not about them being reliant on one man because they still do well even when Akinfenwa doesn't. "Gareth Ainsworth has a good, solid unit there with players who are positive on the ball so it will be another tough test for us. "They have a number of threats but if we stop them and play to our own strengths we will hopefully have a good day on Saturday. "We did a good job on them last season; it was one of the best performances after I came in. Hopefully we can emulate that and be a bit more clinical in front of goal."
