Wycombe Wanderers v Leyton Orient

Following Saturday's 4-1 reverse at Scunthorpe, it is vital that Wycombe start stringing some wins together and I will be at Adams Park tonight to see how they get on against Orient.

The Chairboys are now propping up League One and - if results are anything to go by - look like they have given up on survival. It will be interesting to see what the mood in the camp is like. I hope that I'm wrong.

Their task isn't going to be made any easier if they are missing striker Stuart Beavon who has a groin strain and whose goals have given the club any hope of staying in the division.

On a positive note, central defender Dave Winfield may return to the side tonight having been out since mid-February.

Following tonight's game, Wycombe have a home fixture against Colchester on Saturday and then two away trips to Bury and Exeter. Given the weekend's defeat, it would be daft to say that they are games Wycombe should win, but I'd suggest that this run of four games could prove to be the turning point in their season or the beginning of the end in League One.

Orient will be without loanees Marek Štěch and Ryan Dickson following juries they picked up in Saturday's draw at Walsall. Russell Slade may also be without David Mooney and Scott Cuthbert are also doubts, while the east London club are waiting to learn the result of their appeal against  Solomon Taiwo's red card from the weekend tie. Nigerian-born Taiwo is currently on loan from Cardiff.
