Wycombe Wanderers look to go into the winter window in a position of almost curiosity. Multiple seasons of heavy spending and plenty of additions have still not seen Wycombe ultimately create a team that's ready to battle at the very top under Michael Duff, and the first part of that stems from the defence.

Anders Hagelskjaer's integration into the team since joining in January of 2025 has been slow, but under Duff he has quickly cemented his place as the left-sided centre-back. Now eyes turn to finding his potential long term partner on the right hand side.

Dan Casey, Connor Taylor and Taylor Allen were brought in the summer window to shore up the right hand of defence, while Declan Skura remains locked in purgatory for crimes as yet unknown to fans. Casey and Taylor as right footed center backs have both had gametime to show their abilities, but both haven't convinced. Taylor is an exceptional asset in the air but has made a few errors in defence, while Casey is a jack of all trades who even played at RB, but is also master of none.
