I think he will put a mixed team out. Our B team has had quite a few games over the course of this season already.
Wycombe are a recently promoted championship side, they won't be able to keep up with the fitness of a decent PL side. We saw that against Brentford too, they were struggling badly in the second half.
We should play:
Hart
Doherty Sanchez Tanganga Cirkin
Alli Sissoko Lamela
Lucas Vinicius Bale
Hart
Doherty Sanchez Tanganga Cirkin
Alli Sissoko Lamela
Lucas Vinicius Bale
I used to go to WWFC when their pitch sloped 9 feet corner to corner.
New pitch is much less fun !

Going to have to be a B team isn't it with the dippers 3 days later?
Don't know much about Wycombe but I'm sure something like this should get it done.
Hart
Doherty Sanchez Rodon Davies
Winks Sissoko
Lucas Dele (if still here) Lamela
Vinny
That's what we have a big squad for after all.
Bale doesn't even make my B team.....

Fuck sake this long until our next game, i'm going to die of boredom
Their pitch isn't that high up !
Just noticed Everton don't have a game this week.
To help fixture congestion we could have played our FA Cup 5th Round tie?
Wycombe Have Shown That You Don't Need Glitz & Glamour to Be Successful
Wycombe Wanderers weren't far off imploding in 2012. Financial instability and disappointing performances had them all the way down in League Two and flirting w

There was a fascinating stat which surfaced in the build-up to the game which told you everything you needed to know about Wycombe. Out of the 23 League One teams, Wycombe ranked 23rd in average possession, passes, short passes, sequences of more than ten passes and width per passing sequence.
Wycombe don't play attractive football. They play effective football.
The boss sensed a need for change but did not have the resources to do so. Instead of moping around and blaming his surroundings, he set about fixing things. Ainsworth pulled together a motley crew of lower-league rejects and told them to do nothing but play hard.
The defenders stand tall and firm and are rarely scared to put their body on the line to recover possession. Once they get the ball, it goes straight up to the striker, whose job is to bully defenders, win headers and let his teammates get forward away from possession.
Why waste time passing the ball up the field when you can just hoof it in one go? You don't win games by not getting the ball into the final third.
Ainsworth knew that was the style he needed to play, so he found the perfect man - Adebayo Akinfenwa, the behemoth who bears a striking resemblance to a monster truck and who many believed couldn't make it in football because of his size.
At 38 years old, Akinfenwa looks set to enjoy his first taste of second-tier football next season, and like Ainsworth, he hopes to prove why people were so wrong to doubt him.
Here's a guess at the team and subs:
| 1 | LLORIS Hugo |
| 24 | AURIER Serge |
| 14 | RODON Joe |
| 6 | SANCHEZ Davinson |
| 15 | DIER Eric |
| 33 | DAVIES Ben |
| 8 | WINKS Harry |
| 11 | LAMELA Erik |
| 9 | BALE Gareth |
| 27 | MOURA Lucas |
| 45 | VINICIUS Carlos |
| Substitutes | |
| 2 | DOHERTY Matt |
| 4 | ALDERWEIRELD Toby |
| 7 | SON Heung-min |
| 10 | KANE Harry |
| 12 | HART Joe |
| 17 | SISSOKO Moussa |
| 25 | TANGANGA Japhet |
| 28 | NDOMBELE Tanguy |
| 54 | DEVINE Alfie |
It’s hard not to have one eye on the Liverpool game. These lads are bottom of the championship for a reason. I don’t think we need to go wholesale changes but Kane and Son shouldn’t be playing this. Moura and Vinicius should mop the floor with them. Every other position can be case by case
Is this game going ahead? Didn’t they have a COVID outbreak?
Wednesday had a Covid outbreak hence their game with Wycombe was suspended

lamela is key for me as he brings such a high intensity he forces his team mates to up theirs. think we can even get away with playing winks and sissoko as long as we have that front four. have ndombele on the bench just in case but hopefully winks and sissoko is enough
