Ashley Maynard-Brewer returned to Nathan Jones' matchday squad on Friday, while the in-form Macaulay Gillesphey missed Friday's victory due to muscle stiffness, let's hope everything has loosened up before todays game then eh, Miles Leaburn remains sidelined for the Addicks.
The hosts, who will be without Shamal George and Dan Harvie, are one point above third-placed Wrexham 😂, and have won their last three fixtures on the spin without conceding, including a 2-0 win at Bolton Wanderers on Good Friday courtesy of second-half strikes from Caleb Taylor and Luke Leahy, so an interesting encounter...
We've locked horns on 14 previous occasions winning eight, the Chairboys four and the remaining two meetings ending all square, we ran out 2-1 victors in the reverse fixture at The Valley in December thanks to Miles Leaburn's brilliant brace...
The Addicks who will be wearing their yellow away kit in Buckinghamshire. will be cheered on by another sold-out away end after tickets were snapped up at great speed by our wonderful travelling Addicks...
Here we go then...
Team news...

Blackpool 3 Wrexham 1
If that's not asking too much.
Think this is a fascinating game today. Although we’ve picked up a couple of victories of late on the road, I don’t feel we are the same team away as we are at home.
Hopefully Macca is back (for Macca), and Dixon on he bench if as feared Chuks is out for the season.
COYA!
Means our chances of finishing second are over, and I can relax and not give a shit about the next two games.
I know I'm going to be a nervous wreck today, and if we win, its going to make me even more nervous for Saturday - F**k it, lets do these over, and break Wycombe / Wrexham hearts over the course of the next week, and show the world they were doing nothing more than keeping our seat warm!!
HMS has left port!!!
REALLY looking forward to this game, I reckon both teams will be going for it .. full strength line-up for us please
Team has show that they can be competitivos, so now is time to prove it again!!
Saludos desde Madrid as usual 😉💪🏻😎
Strangely conflicted as I'd love another Wembley win as it's shared with 50,000 fellow Addicks, rather than 24,000 at the Valley (vs Burton) if we get automatic.

Time to hunker down for the playoffs.
I'm expecting a win today and also expecting our end to be bouncing as news filters through that Blackpool have beaten the sheep fidling inbreds.
Let's get into them, put the pressure on, and see how they handle it. Don't expect there to be much in it but both teams need the win, so could be end to end late on if it's level.
