Ahead of the Blues' play-off semi-final with Stockport on Sunday, Sergio Torres has told wwfc.com that the experience in the Wanderers squad could prove vital in achieving a place at Wembley:
"The balance in the team is great," he said. "If we play like we know we can, we can beat anyone on our day. We played excellently against MK Dons and Peterborough, the best two teams in the league, and we should have beaten them both."
There is a real buzz around Adams Park ahead of the clash with the Hatters on Sunday evening, and having missed out on the 2005/06 play-offs against Cheltenham the Argentine winger is chomping at the bit at the prospect of three more games and a potential trip to North London to play under the arch.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to it. I was really disappointed to miss out last time but I'm ready for it this year.
"It's only a couple of days away now and there is a great mood around the place."
Sergio played on the opposite wing to Matty Phillips on Saturday in the 2-1 win over Bradford City and the winger was very impressed with the 17-year-old after he made his first senior start for the club.
Wanderers' no. 22 said: "He was great on Saturday. He took people on, he ran with the ball and he made things happen. It was a fantastic debut from him."
Stockport boss Jim Gannon has recently said that his side will be more sprightly when the two teams meet over the coming weeks, and despite the Hatters having a younger side Torres believes the older heads in the Wanderers squad could give Wycombe the upper hand.
Torres said: "We have got a very good team and we have a great mix between youth and experience.
"However, I think the experience from the likes of Holty (Gary Holt), Doc (Tommy Doherty) and Scott McGleish could prove to be crucial in the end."
To see Sergio and his team-mates in action on Sunday evening at 6pm ring the club's ticket office 01494 441118.
