It is amazing what could happen in just over a month.

Thirty-four days ago, Wycombe had just beaten Burton Albion 2-0, which meant the Chairboys had secured their sixth consecutive clean sheet in the league.

It was also their 12th league match in a row where they hadn't lost which meant they sat on top of the League One table at Christmas, for the first time in their history. 

However, fast forward to today and Gareth Ainsworth's men are winless in five matches, where they have conceded 12 and have just scored one in that time.

But in every promotion pushing season, there is always going to be a spell during the campaign where the team at the top hit a brick wall.

This is Wycombe's and it's of paramount importance that they stop the rut as soon as possible. 

Today's visit of Rochdale could be the perfect game for the Chairboys to end their winless run as Wycombe, who did lose 4-0 away to Sunderland last weekend, had the luxury of not playing midweek, whilst Dale played Newcastle at St James' Park in an FA Cup third-round replay, where they lost 4-1. 

Speaking to the Wycombe Wanderers website, manager Gareth Ainsworth said: “Today is going to be about what we can do on Saturday against Rochdale and that’s the way I have always worked.

"We have been stretched these last few weeks and these games over Christmas and coming into the New Year, but having this week to prepare for Rochdale has been good fun and I am hoping to do some business in the transfer window."

And if Wycombe want to get back to winning ways, they'll have to put the head-to-head record against Rochdale to one side, as the Chairboys have got a very indifferent record against today's opponents. 

The two sides have faced each other 21 times with Rochdale winning nine of those matches, Wycombe eight, and there being four draws.

In fact, the last time there was a draw between these two sides was way back in January 2007.

Additionally, Wycombe have beaten Rochdale the last two times when Brian Barry-Murphy's men have arrived at Adams Park. 

They also defeated Rochdale when the sides last played each other back in September. 

But Wycombe haven't completed the double of Rochdale since the 2005/06 season, and out of the eight league matches Dale have won this campaign, five of those victories have been away from home. 

So it is a tough one to call, but whatever happens, today is going to be an interesting game as Wycombe need to win to fight for promotion, whilst Rochdale need a win to stay away from the bottom three.
