Gareth Ainsworth has credited his ‘tool-sharpening’ backroom staff ahead of their visit to Morecambe.

The Chairboys are travelling up to the Mazuma Stadium for the first time in four seasons, with the Adams Park side boasting a very good record in Lancashire.

Wycombe have visited the stadium on nine occasions and have left with points on eight occasions, with their only loss away at Morecambe in the Football League being on their previous trip, which was in November 2017 where they lost 2-1.

Wanderers were promoted to League One at the end of that season.

Speaking ahead of their visit to the North West, Ainsworth said: “My job becomes so easy when everyone around me is so good at theirs.

"I think that not enough credit goes to my backroom team.

“When Saturday and Tuesday games are coming, my job is dissecting the opposition and how we beat them.

“I know how to do that, but I cannot do it without the tools they give me, and they sharpen those tools like you would not believe.

“There’s so much science in the game now.

“Fitness is huge, bigger than it has ever been to keep your players fit and in tip-top condition.

“Over the 10 years in my managerial tenure, we have got thousands of percentages better than we were.

“We work so hard on that side of things.”

On injuries, Sam Vokes and Chris Forino could return to the match against Morecambe, whilst no update was given on midfielders Dom Gape and Nick Freeman.

Freeman hasn’t played since August, whilst Gape has only featured in seven matches this season.

His last appearance was in the 2-2 draw against Hartlepool United in November.

On fixtures, sparing any Covid postponements, Wycombe have a ‘set-in-stone’ fixture list towards the end of the season and that can only benefit the Wanderers as they aim to return to the Championship.

A new date for their away trip at Cambridge United is the only fixture that needs to be penned in, due to the Amber Army’s FA Cup commitments.
