Stuart LewisChairboys midfielder Stuart Lewis spoke to the Bucks Free Press ahead of his side's League One game against Carlisle at Adams Park on Good Friday afternoon, Lewis saying there is nothing to lose now for the Wanderers as they look to avoid relegation :

 

"I don't think now we can fear anyone. It's a massive six games for us, six cup finals, and we've got to really go for it. What's there to lose now? We're on a great run now and the confidence in that dressing room is flying high. We're never giving up now, we believe in ourselves. We can really attack the next fixtures and I really do believe in us as a team.

"Carlisle are going for promotion but when we played them up at their place I thought we deserved a win. We've got to take that into the game and attack every fixture now. The way we're playing we can adapt to any sort of team. We've got to stamp our authority and that's what we're doing, we're matching teams physically and technically.

"It was a great point last week at Stevenage and shows the spirit. Sometimes that word spirit is easy to use but we showed really good fighting qualities in the team. You know what you're going to get from Stevenage.They're that sort of team. It was very bitty and at times the game was very stop-start. At times we really stamped our authority on the game. You've got to match them and that's what we did. There's no point going there and not giving as much as they do because they'll trample all over you."

 

 

 

As far as team news is concerned for the Chairboys tomorrow they will be missing five first team squad members, while another player who had been out on loan for the season is also injured, that being centre-half James Tunnicliffe who was at Crewe until May only to have to undergo an operation on a dislocated shoulder in mid-March. Two players who have been in the picture for Wycombe though are right-back Danny Foster and central defender Dave Winfield, the pair sidelined for the Carlisle match due to respective shoulder and thigh injuries.

Into midfield and Scott Donnelly and John Halls will also be absentees against the Cumbrians, Donnelly, on loan from Swansea for the season, out after suffering a cruciate ligament knee injury in mid-December, while Halls had surgery in late January on a long-term Achilles problem. The final player missing for Wanderers tomorrow being frontman Joel Grant who has been out since mid-February after injuring his ankle in a Berks & Bucks semi-final win over Hungerford Town. In better news for Chairboys boss Gary Waddock tomorrow though he does have Leon Johnson back in his squad after the centre-half recently served a two-match ban for picking up ten yellow cards this season.

 

 

 

The referee for tomorrow's match is Rob Lewis from Shrewsbury in Shropshire and he will be assisted down the lines by Adam Crysell from Braintree in Essex and Ashley Slaughter from Brighton in East Sussex, Slaughter having three weeks ago collapsed on the pitch and drifted in and out of consciousness at Whyteleafe's Church Road ground due to a severe allergic reaction from a bee sting, although fortunately he was released from hospital the following morning. Meanwhile the fourth official is William Bull from Winchester in Hampshire.
