Match Preview

Trotta blow for Chairboys Marcello Trotta's decision not to extend his loan spell is a blow for Wycombe ahead of the visit of Rochdale. Trotta scored eight goals in as many appearances during his two-month stay at Adams Park but the Italian teenager returned to Fulham this week after rejecting the chance to stay in Buckinghamshire. Manager Gary Waddock is trying to sign a replacement but he is unsure as to whether anything will materialise before Saturday. Should there be no new arrival, Waddock must pick between Scott Rendell, Ben Strevens or the fit-again Matt McClure to partner Stuart Beavon up front. McClure has been injured all season while, between them, Rendell and Strevens have scored just three goals in 35 appearances. With Leon Johnson and Dave Winfield nursing knee injuries, Louis Laing was brought in on loan as defensive cover this week and the Sunderland teenager could make his debut. Joe Widdowson may return to the Rochdale line-up for the crucial clash. Left-back Widdowson served a one-match ban when Dale travelled to Tranmere in midweek following his red card in the 5-1 home defeat to Stevenage. However, he may face a battle to return to caretaker manager Chris Beech's starting line-up after a reshuffled backline held Rovers to a goalless draw, with Stephen Jordan reverting to left-back and Kevin Amankwaah impressing on his full debut at the heart of defence. Goalkeeper Peter Kurucz is fit to continue between the posts despite a dead-leg hindering his kicking in the closing stages at Prenton Park. Midfielder Simon Hackney (abdominal) and defender Marc Twaddle (defender) remain long-term absentees.

Match Report

Wycombe win with Beavon brace Stuart Beavon's double helped Wycombe leapfrog fellow strugglers Rochdale and move closer to escaping the League One relegation zone with a comprehensive 3-0 victory. A goal in each half from the Chairboys' top scorer, who took his tally to 13 in the process, and a third from Dave Winfield ended Wycombe's four-game losing streak in fashion, condemning Dale to a ninth straight game without a win. Just a point separated the two teams before kick-off. It was the home side who took a deserved lead after 32 minutes when Beavon raced onto Ben Strevens' through ball before chipping over advancing goalkeeper Peter Kurucz. Rochdale improved after the break but failed to test Nikki Bull in the Wycombe goal. Grant Basey denied Ashley Grimes with a perfectly timed last-ditch tackle. The home fans were on their feet again after 73 minutes as Beavon grabbed his second, swivelling and firing home on the half-volley into the top corner. The result was put beyond any doubt just two minutes later when Kurucz failed to claim Matt Bloomfield's corner and captain Winfield stabbed home into an empty net.
