Joey Barton may tinker with his forward line for Fleetwood’s clash with Wycombe

Posted Monday, August 19, 2019 by PA

Fleetwood manager Joey Barton may ring the changes for Tuesday’s League One encounter with Wycombe after his side were defeated 3-2 by Doncaster in their last outing.

Forward Conor McAleny started ahead of Paddy Madden at the Keepmoat Stadium but both players got on the scoresheet after Madden replaced midfielder Jordan Rossiter at half-time.

Madden will be hoping he has done enough to earn a starting spot.

Barton also has choices to make in midfield, as Josh Morris could again replace Ashley Hunter, and 34-year-old Scotsman Ross Wallace is looking to make the starting XI for the first time this season.

Meanwhile Wycombe bid to continue their unbeaten run in League One after a 3-2 victory over MK Dons left them third in the table.

Substitute David Wheeler scored his first goal since signing for the Chairboys in that game and is likely to feature again, as are fellow forwards Joe Jacobson and Fred Onyedinma who both contributed to the scoreline.

Defender Darius Charles is vying for a place in the starting line-up.

Portuguese defender Sido Jombati and 25-year-old midfielder Curtis Thompson are unlikely to start as both continue to recover from injury.
