Match Preview
Gradi wants Moore to think about Crewe boss Dario Gradi is likely to name an unchanged team for the visit of Wycombe - unless Byron Moore can regain fitness. Moore missed the victory over Shrewsbury with an ankle knock and Alex are monitoring the winger`s recovery. Joel Grant, who made a first league start since the end of October at Greenhous Meadow, will be the man to drop out should Moore make it. Antoni Sarcevic is fit again after his ankle problem and is likely to be joined on the bench by fellow midfielder Danny Shelley, defenders Harry Davis and Adam Dugdale and striker Nick Powell. Last season`s top scorer Calvin Zola has recovered from his knock but will not be considered for a return to the first team until he has more training under his belt. Wycombe midfielder Gareth Ainsworth is set to return. The 37-year-old scored the winner at Cheltenham last weekend but was rested for Monday's 1-0 win over Gillingham which saw the Chairboys climb to third in the table. Swansea loanee Scott Donnelly could make his debut. The creative midfielder made his name under Wanderers boss Gary Waddock at Aldershot but was an unused substitute against the Gills as he began his loan spell at Adams Park. Striker Jon-Paul Pittman remains a long-term absentee as he continues his recovery from a ruptured knee tendon which has kept him out since September. Winger Josh Parker (foot) remains the only other long-term injury concern and the midfielder will not feature for at least six weeks.

Match Report
Donaldson the hero for Alex Clayton Donaldson hit two goals in two minutes as Crewe claimed a 3-0 win over Wycombe, which ended the Chairboys five-game winning streak. Shaun Miller completed the scoring with a late strike as the Alex moved into the play-off zone and recorded their third clean sheet on the bounce. Crewe made all the early inroads, with the excellent Byron Moore providing three crosses which his forwards should have at least connected with. Wycombe had to wait until the 20th minute to have their first shots, long-range efforts from Lewis Montrose and Stuart Beavon which were saved by Rhys Taylor. Taylor then leapt to keep out Scott Rendell's looping header before Clayton Donaldson and Luke Murphy went close at the other end. Donaldson should have broken the deadlock minutes before half-time but he clipped the ball wide of keeper Nikki Bull and the post when put through by Murphy. Moore hit the crossbar with a cross-cum-shot before Shaun Miller then bamboozled David Winfield with a superb flick but the striker's 30-yard volley just missed the target. Donaldson gave Crewe the lead with two goals in quick succession. First he left Winfield for dead before clipping the ball over Bull in the 71st minute. Then sixty seconds later he raced onto Danny Shelley's ball and hit a first-time shot low into the bottom corner of the net. Miller put the icing on the cake for the hosts by side-footing home on the rebound after Lee Bell's 86th-minute shot crashed back off the upright.
