Wycombe sit in their usual spot just one place outside the playoffs with 17 points and an impressive home record with only one defeat this season. Former Livingston manager Paul Lambert is in his second season in charge at Adams Park and hopes to build on a mid table finish from last season. Wycombe have had a line of recent successful managers with Martin O’Neil John Gregory and Lawrie Sanchez all sitting in the dug out for the Chairboys Lambert has a tough act to follow firstly be getting Wycombe out of the bottom tier of league football. Lamberts career itself has been short but eventful his first and only other previous club was former SPL team Livingston with only five wins and 20 defeats Lambert was moved on in just 8 months adding to Livingston’s fall out of the Scottish Elite tier. At home this season Wycombe have turned a little part of Buckinghamshire in to a fortress while on the road The Wanderers have won only twice against struggling Bradford and inconsistent Macclesfield.

Wycombe are Grimsby's ultimate bogey side, only Sunderland only a better record than the Chairboys against Town in their history. Grimsby have only even beaten Wycombe once in their 12 meetings, and have never won in six visits to Adams Park. One crumb of comfort is that half the games between the sides have been draws.
