Iā€™d settle for a point, some interesting decisions for Matt, fitness of those returning from international duty for one.
DD or Harry in defence where does Osin fit in. Could we have done training of a back three of Osin, Harry, Allen whilst the others were away.
Weather means we might not get out on the grass between yesterday to Saturday ???
Get it right and we might just sneak a point or three

0-0 just for a change.

Even though the original Plough Lane was a difficult ground for visiting supporters, the new ground is a lot easier in terms of its approach. The North stand of the Plough Lane will be used for the purpose of accommodating the opposition spectators, who will get access to a world of facilities and advantages in this new ground. A visiting Tranmere Rovers fan was literally agog at the facilities on offer. There is sufficient space for 800 banqueting and conferencing spaces, which makes it the largest in the borough. The visiting supporters should also be able to reach the stadium quite comfortably due to its close proximity to the bus stops and London underground stations.

There are a number of away friendly pubs near Plough Lane, all of which cater to different needs. Please note, however, that some bars require club colours to be covered and some do not allow children. Out of an abundance of caution it is advised to keep club colours discrete in the surroundings of the arena and local vicinity.

Food is available within the stadium itself with concession stands serving:
Jellied Eels (Ā£3.75)
Pukka Pies (Ā£5.95)
Pot Noodles (Ā£3.05)
Gourmet Fries (Ā£6.55)
Oriental Noodles (Ā£6.65)
Hot and cold refreshments are also available including a range of teas, and coffees including flat whites and skinny lattes (from Ā£4)

Belph he is not a well man. I recently messaged him

Would happily take a draw, but that would be three draws on the spin, 3pts out of 9 - so am going for a 1-0 win

Weā€™ll be 3-0 up, then a sinkhole will appear on the halfway line and the game will be postponed :joy:

Thatā€™s a bit steep, they were available free in the club offices and shop a few weeks ago.

What do they do? Lay them on a bed of cuss-cuss finished off with a lemon crisp crumb.

Last term, Wimbledon gave us a tough lesson and looked like a particularly good, strong team.

We have improved considerably since that spanking and this will serve to be a proper test of our promotion credentials.

A feel a bump in the road with a 2-1 defeat.

ā€œGourmetā€ fries or chips are a huge rip off.
Just frozen chips either pre coated or with a bit of cheese thrown over the top.

Ā£6.55 for about 50 pence worth of grub.
Disgusting!

Back to the football.
I donā€™t think I have ever seen us win at Wimbledon, first went there in the early 80ā€™s.

Not optimistic for some reason.
2-0 to them.

Belg told me a while back that he was ok, but taking a break from the site. Sorry to hear that he isnā€™t well. :frowning:

We certainly miss him. He was a good counter to my optimism in the really bad times. I wish him well if anyone is in touch with him.

Saturdays referee is in his first year as an EFL official. He officiated our 1-0 win over Morecambe on the opening day.

If WIlliams is cleared, he should come right back in for me.

I think he should as well but i reckon Daniels will stay in now

Daniels didnā€™t play in the second international. Is he fit I wonder?

Or did he refuse to play because the pitch was dreadful?

We were exceptionally poor last year and I think we were back out the gates after an hour, but the wind had been knocked out of us by then and with largely a different team Iā€™m not putting too much on that. However, still hoping the players that were a part of that disaster are out to put it right.

Tough one as a point wouldnā€™t be the end of the world, although with County, Vale and Donny all to come next month 3 draws on the spin wouldnā€™t exactly be ideal.

I do think Williams needs to come straight back in if cleared, we were bullied a bit at the back last time out I thought, werenā€™t anywhere near as commanding.
