Match Preview
Brown boost for Robins Scott Brown is expected to overcome a knock and take his place in goal for Cheltenham`s home clash against Wycombe. The keeper ended Tuesday`s 4-0 victory over Bradford nursing the minor problem but, having rested on Wednesday, returned to training on Thursday. Midfielder Dave Bird managed to make a 20-minute cameo at Whaddon Road having been struck down with illness leading up to the encounter but he has now recovered fully and has also returned to training ahead of the New Year`s Day fixture. Winger Josh Low remains the only absentee as he recovers from his hamstring injury. Town climbed into the play-off places with Tuesday`s triumph but know they will be in for a much sterner test when fifth-placed Wanderers come to town, although victory would move the Gloucestershire club to within a point of their promotion rivals. Wycombe will have midfielder Lewis Montrose available. The central midfielder returns from a one-game suspension but may have to sit out as Stuart Lewis is expected to continue his partnership with Matt Bloomfield. Striker Jon-Paul Pittman continues his recovery from a ruptured knee tendon which is expected to keep him out until early in the new year. Winger Josh Parker (foot) remains the only other long-term injury concern and the midfielder will not feature for at least six weeks. Centre-half Chris Westwood will come up against one of his former clubs while Cheltenham could have former Adams Park loanee Marlon Pack in their side. The Chairboys have won their last three games in all competitions.

Match Report
Ainsworth heroics seal Chairboys win Away day specialists Wycombe chalked up another victory on the road as Gareth Ainsworth inspired them to a 2-1 win at Cheltenham. The 37-year-old former QPR ace secured the points with a bullet header from a Chris Westwood cross in the 58th minute to cap a stirring fight back from the promotion hopefuls. It's now just one away defeat all season for the Chairboys who trailed to a brilliant curling free kick from Cheltenham left-back Danny Andrew on 12 minutes. But Wycombe owed a huge debt to keeper Nikki Bull who made a string of saves - starting with a superb double stop to deny Wesley Thomas and Jeff Goulding respectively. The Chairboys hit back just before the interval with an individual effort from Stuart Beavon who twisted and turned before lashing in a left foot shot past Scott Brown. Ainsworth's fifth goal of the season put the visitors ahead but the Robins had opportunities to level with Brian Smikle twice close to snatching an equaliser while Wesley Thomas headed agonisingly wide in the last minute. Thomas headed a David Bird cross wide in the last minute as Gary Waddock's men held on.
