No rain, bit windy at 16 mph. 8°C / 46°F Top scorers are Luke Leahy with 6 & 4 assists. Brandon Hanlan 3&3 Dale Taylor 3&1 Joe Low 3&1 Ex O Kieran Sadlier has scored 1 league goal (2 games ago) & 0 assists from 16 games.
Wycombe are called the Chairboys because of the tradition of chair-making in the town of High Wycombe. The nickname was used in the early days of the Club but was only resurrected after the 1980's fanzine Chairboys Gas dug out the name from the history books.
Chairboys badge: The de Bohuns used the badge because they claimed descent from the mythical “Knight of the Swan” who figures in French Medieval romance.

High Wycombe was the town most instrumental in preventing the closure of Marylebone rail terminus which, they argued, provided the place with a connection to "London and the rest of the world". The Great Central Railway to Leicester and Nottingham was not so lucky.

Feel confident for this one. Wycombe in midst of very poor form (winless in 11 in the league) plus a slew of injuries on top. Calls for Ainsworth to return.
Where we keep the ball relatively well at this level they do not - less than 60% pass completion in majority of their most recent games.

Teams on bad runs seem to turn it around when they play us, or is that 60 years of supporting the O’s talking 🤔

Would have preferred this to be a Saturday game,maybe if they knew the Blackpool game would be called off it could have been.

Their last match was a 1-0 defeat at Exeter. 1-0 Cox. Where have I heard that before?

We have a really poor record against Wycombe over the years. Let's hope we can turn that around tonight

I am literally smashing the granny out of my speakers listening to the Arctic Monkeys getting myself revved up for tonight's game.
Wonder what the players are listening to, too fire themselves up with in the dressing room?

Same team as Tuesday except Rob Hunt out ( for the next 3 or 4 games evidently 🙁). Jordan Brown steps in to replace him.
