Wycombe beat Burton 2–0 as Wareham scores his sixth since arriving and Hounsell praises their attacking play
Sunday 1 November 2026 · By Rupert Shillito
Wycombe Wanderers beat Burton Albion 2–0 at Adams Park on Saturday 31 October, extending their unbeaten run in the league to four games. The BBC table, last updated at 01:25 GMT on Sunday, has Tom Hounsell’s side 13th, up from 15th on 28 October, on 18 points from 13 games, four points behind the play-off places, where Reading have 22. They are level on 18 with MK Dons and Mansfield Town. League One’s top two go up automatically, third to sixth go into the play-offs and the bottom four go down.
Jayden Wareham scored the opener on 21 minutes. According to the BBC, he charged down a clearance from Addai after a back-pass from Sraha. Woodrow added a second on 53 minutes, with Onyedinma providing the assist. The BBC page did not show an attendance, and we have not estimated one.
In a BBC caption, Hounsell said: “We attacked the game really well.” The Express & Star, using Press Association copy, said he was full of praise for Wareham, who now has six goals since signing from Exeter City. The Bucks Free Press recorded the manager’s verdict that it was a “pleasing performance”.
Hounsell took over after Michael Duff left for Bradford City, in September according to the BBC. The BBC and the Press Association say Wycombe have lost only one of their nine league games under him. The Bucks Free Press counts one defeat in ten, so the exact figure depends on the source, but both describe a strong run since the change.
Wycombe have won four, drawn six and lost three of their 13 league games, scoring 21 goals and conceding 23, a goal difference of minus two. The BBC form guide reads D L W D D W. Their six draws are level with Cambridge United and MK Dons for the most in the division.
The next game is a cup tie. Wycombe travel to Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup first round on Saturday 7 November at 15:00 GMT. We have found no Jersey Mike’s Trophy tie for the club.
The league programme then offers a clear test. Huddersfield Town, the leaders, who have won their last four league games, visit Adams Park on Saturday 14 November at 15:00. Wycombe travel to Oxford United on Saturday 21 November at 15:00, host Bradford on Saturday 28 November at 15:00 and visit Barnsley on Tuesday 1 December at 19:45.
Their league game at Bromley has been postponed and has no new date, so Wycombe’s fixture list has a gap that has yet to be filled.
Hounsell’s side go to Accrington on the back of a clean sheet and a goal from Wareham, with the leaders to come at Adams Park a week later.
Adams Park sits at the end of Hillbottom Road on the western edge of High Wycombe, between woodland and the Sands industrial estate. Opened in 1990 after the sale of Loakes Park, it is named after former captain Frank Adams and holds a little under 10,000. For visiting supporters it is a compact League ground: close to the pitch, mostly covered, and with few pillars in the way.
Away fans sit in the WhiffAway Stand behind the eastern goal — the old Hillbottom Road End. It is all-seated, covered, and typically holds around 1,800, with extra seats sometimes opened next door for a large following. Views are unrestricted. Enter via the east turnstiles near Ticket Office 1. Expect a bag search, so travel light. The ground is cashless: card or contactless for tickets, food and the shop.
There is only one road in: Hillbottom Road, postcode HP12 4HJ, from M40 junction 4 via the A4010. Official stadium parking must be booked in advance and often sells out. Industrial units along the approach usually sell matchday spaces more cheaply. After full time the single-road exit crawls, so allow extra time or park off-site and walk the last stretch.
High Wycombe station on the Chiltern line is about two and a half miles away. Matchday shuttle buses from the station and town drop near The Hour Glass in Sands; the regular 32/32A also serves that stop. From there it is a short walk. Taxis from the station are straightforward if you prefer not to wait.
Food and drink for visitors centre on the away village or marquee, which usually opens around midday for a 3pm kick-off. Expect burgers, chips, pies and soft drinks at typical EFL prices. Kiosks inside the east stand serve similar fare. Alcohol is often available in the village but not always inside the stand itself. Street-food vans in the car park are popular if you arrive early. The Hour Glass is the usual pre-match pub; town-centre bars are a short ride if you want more choice.
Opposite the away end is the Beechdean Terrace, the last standing home end and the loudest part of the ground. The two-tier Frank Adams Stand runs along the south side with hospitality, media and the family section. The narrower Origin Stand on the north holds offices, the shop and the tunnel. The Chiltern Hills rise behind the south stand — one of the prettier backdrops in the EFL.
Gates and the village typically open well before kick-off; turnstiles a little later. Facilities are adequate rather than lavish, staff are generally helpful, and the atmosphere is competitive without being hostile on most league days. Keep your ticket handy, leave extra time for the road out, and you should have a straightforward afternoon in Buckinghamshire.
