As the Premier League and EFL Championship pause for a fortnight due to the international break, the grind continues in the lower levels of English football, bar a few exceptions due to postponements caused by international call-ups.

It is fair to say that not many people backed Wycombe Wanderers to have such a positive start to the season, myself included. However, the Chairboys sit just outside the automatic promotion places in EFL League One, currently occupying third place going into the next round of fixtures. Wycombe have only won four games out…

One of the biggest rivalries in lower league football is set to continue tomorrow as AFC Wimbledon travel to Stadium MK in search of 3 points against MK Dons.
