THE BIG MATCH PREVIEW
By Ross Jeavons
Fixture: Wycombe Wanderers v Lincoln City
Date: Saturday 23rd August, 3pm
Location: Adams Park
Wycombe will look to stretch their unbeaten start to the league season to three games, when Peter Jackson's Lincoln City arrive at Adams Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Imps have been listed as one of the favourites for promotion in the present campaign, but defeats to Dagenham and Redbridge and Rotherham mean they are still looking for their first points in League Two.
Blues boss Peter Taylor has indicated that he is happy with the way his new look team have come together on the opening weeks, but will expect more as they look to hit the ground running.

"Any game we have is going to be difficult and this one is no different. You can't judge teams too early, you loose the first two games and then the manager sorts a few things out, and it all changes," Taylor told wwfc.com.
"We've done ok, four points from two games and I'm delighted with that - if we can try and get our first home win of the season then that will put us in a great position"
Lincoln City manager Peter Jackson told RedImps.co.uk: "The players were disappointed with the way they played on Saturday (in the 3-1 defeat to Dagenham) but I've told them it's the way they react now that counts. Wycombe will be a tough place to go, they've got four points so far but hopefully we can go there and be stronger defensively than we were last time out."
Team News
Wanderers: Peter Taylor will leave it until the last minute to decide whether or not Gary Holt is fit enough to make the line-up, as the Blues look set to name the same squad that travelled to the Deva Stadium last weekend.
Lincoln City: Blues fans will have mixed feelings when they hear that ex-Blue Stefan Oakes looks unlikely to make the trip, as he picked up a calf injury. Frank Sinclair is ruled out with a similar problem. Kevin Gall faces a fitness test but Lee Beevers and Paul Green should feature.
