A closer look at the numbers reveals that Akinfenwa's 15 goals have been scored in just 31 matches; the 35-year-old forward currently averaging 0.48 goals per game. All of Akinfenwa's league strikes this season have come from inside the box - 10 headers, 3 with his right foot and 2 with his left. Nine of Akinfenwa's League Two goals have featured in league wins for the Chairboys - the powerful striker netting two matchwinners so far this term. 

Next up on Saturday, Wycombe will host Morecambe at Adams Park. The Beast will certainly be looking to boost his incredible stats, while also maintaining what is becoming a serious promotion bid from the Buckinghamshire side.
