2011 Prediction League – Game 40; v AFC Wimbledon (home)

So; The Wombles went out and signed midfielder Pim Balkestein on loan from Brentford (he having previously been on loan at Coleydale). Explaining the signing, Wombles manager Great Uncle Bulgaria :p said this;

"He is a Dutchman who can also play a bit, but we have brought him in for his other attributes and hopefully he will provide a strong presence at the back”

Right; if I follow that, they didn’t sign him because he’s Dutch :o (think Neeskens, van Basten, Gullitt, Cruyff), or because “he can play a bit” :o, but they did sign him “for his other attributes” :D. Spiffin’. What are they, Terry? :confused:

They also added ex ProperWimbledon :) player Jason Euell, Jamaican born, now 34, and a striker (I do wonder if the words “34” and “striker” aren’t actually mutually exclusive, but we’ll see :p) from the Addicks (he also counts Blackpool and Doncaster among the teams on his cv); 19 year old Sunderland midfielder Billy Knott; former West Ham centre half Callum McNaughton – also 19 - who had been on loan; Spurs and West Ham legend John Moncur’s :D son George, who’s an England u19 midfielder, also from the Hammers; ex Stevenage striker Byron Harrison (24) – whom Westley :mad: rated highly so who’s probably pants, bless him ;) – who got 10 goals in 46 there, cost Wimbledon a “five figure fee” (£103.99? :rolleyes:) and started out at Carshalton Town; and last, and probably least, 22 year old striker Charlie Strutton, whom they signed from Southern League Division One Central side Chalfont St Peter (wasn’t he a 1960’s pop singer :)), and whom they promptly loaned out to Maidenhead Town. Hmmmmmm!

Currently they’re in 15th place with a record of 39 played, 13 wins, 8 draws, 18 defeats and 47 points (so they’re safe enough with nowt much to play for, you’d think); they’re about as good (or bad) at home as they are away - home it’s W7 D4 L9 F33 A37, away is W6 D4 L9 F21 A29. Their form over the last two months has seen 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses (4 losses and 2 draws in their 6 away games, 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat at home); their best result was probably a 4-0 win over a very demoralised Burton side, while they’ve also beaten Bradford 3-1 and Dagenham 2-1; bad news (for them) is that they haven’t scored at all in four of those 6 away matches :eek:, losing 1-0 at Oxford, Northampton and Bristol Rovers and drawing 0-0 at Cheltenham, and they only got one at Hereford in a 2-1 defeat (although they drew 3-3 at Crewe). That’s a better spell, even so, than October through December, when they drew 3 and lost 9 of a dozen consecutive League games :eek::eek::eek: …..One of those losses was at home to us :D; we won, you’ll recall, 2-0 (our only League meeting), with first half goals from Padraig Amond and Craig Linfield; 100% record against them, eh? :o

Their main goal scorer (by a street) is Jack Midson with 20 :D (18 in the League, putting him joint top with Izale McLeod at Barnet); now 28, Midson did the non-league scene until he came into the League (aged 26) with Oxford (having played for loads of sides including the Daggers, Histon (25 goals in 65 games) and Oxford, non-league and league, for whom he got 10 in 59); his 20 for the Wombles have come in 43 matches; before becoming a full-time goal-machine he was actually a tennis coach (Andy Murray please note! ;)). After him on the list come ex Ebbsfleet striker Luke Moore (23) and ex Kingstonian (and Oxted and District) midfielder Christian Jolley, each with 7

The deadline for entries is, as ever, scheduled kick-off time, which is 3pm on Saturday 31st March. Truth is that neither of us is going up (on current form – prove me wrong! :o), and neither going down either, so it’s a “work on things for next season” game, mayhap ………. That said, there’s no reason not to start with 8 attackers again and see if we can score a hatful! :) Oh yes we can! :D Can't we, Wyn?

Good luck to everyone ………… and thanks for playing!

Re: 2011 Prediction League; Game 40 AFC Wimbledon (home)
 

I think he means, he has a good feeling that his reverse psychology will work today, so am taking it as a predicted loss from which he expects nul points ......

For myself, keping the faith, 2-0 to ASFC ...

2-1 to Stanley please

Re: 2011 Prediction League; Game 40 AFC Wimbledon (home)
 

Bit complicated for me, Boss ........

Re: 2011 Prediction League; Game 40 AFC Wimbledon (home)
 

Happier tonight - 4 going for them, 3 for the draw, the other 30 right and 14 of those (including 6 out of the Top 10) exactly right for the max 5. 5 for Carpon ;) and only 3 for LancsDave :( opens up a 3 point gap at the top (87 v 84) with David1 on 83 and Tom D on 82. With 30 points left to play for, mathematically the winner could still be anyone down to Dave in Germany in 27th :D.

In the real world, 4 of the Top 7 to play in our last 6 matches. And we're bound to lose to Hereford if they're still bottom when we play them on Easter Monday :mad:, so how many points are we going to wind up with? Actually, I don't much mind as long as we beat Crawley on the last day to deny them automatic promotion .....

Sorry, rambling :). Only Top 50 table attached this time, as the file's gone over the attachment limit for some reason (the table's no bigger than it was, so don't know why :confused:).

Re: 2011 Prediction League; Game 40 AFC Wimbledon (home)
 

I've just worked out that I could still come second .......... Flying pigs! :p
