Agreed, but he doesn't do enough for me in terms of end product. Rarely makes the ball stick or beats his man. I'll probably get stick for this as he's a popular lad.

No that's a fair enough point. His goals tally isn't the greatest. I do think though that if Grant and Devitt were better in their support play and less concerned with scoring a curler from the edge of the box, Podge could've bagged a few more since the start of their respective loan spells. Then again, if the aforementioned pair were complete in their roles, they wouldn't currently be on loan to League 2.

Great entertainment today with two sides that were polar opposites in terms of physique but what the Don's showed in pass and move Stanley matched with heart & effort, we probably had a little rub of the green for a change which helps a good team effort all round.

Agree with Shaker in terms of Padraig he is relentless and often has to come short for the ball and somtimes lacks the quick support needed to further his goal tally, Lindfield really beginning to look the part at right back and still offers support going forward, Liddle small in stature but a big performance.

Not yet convinced with Micha likes too many touches for my liking and it always seems to be in three's?

Special mention for Super Sub Will Hatfield & the Don's fans who made the journey great vocal support:)

Surely he can only be playing to keep the relationship with Rovers sweet? That's the trouble with duff loans from local clubs.
I see the BBC's "views from the dressing room" are from....................Wimbledon's. What a surprise. Terry Brown moaning about their missed opportunities - what about ours????

Re: Nice and early AFC Wimbledon Match Thread...........
 

You're making the same mistake that Fergie made when refused to speak to the whole of the BBC because Panorama had a go at his son.

The BBC isn't one homogeneous entity, controlled from the centre. It's a collection of little empires, independent of each other. For reasons only known to themselves, the management at Radio Lancashire choose to hang on to their content rather than share it with the rest of the nation.

The BBC website doesn't have Stanley's "view from the dressing room" because Radio Lancashire don't pass on their interviews.

It isn't just Stanley. There are never any recordings of interviews with any of the "Radio Lancashire" managers on the BBC website.

Coley's interviews never appeared when he was Stanley Boss. But as soon as he took over at Rochdale his interviews appeared on the BBC Sport website.

By way of contrast, most BBC regions do put post-match interviews on the BBC website. Hence the appearance of bias against Stanley.

Re: Nice and early AFC Wimbledon Match Thread...........
 

I thought it was just that Radio Lancs never bothered to interview anyone from Stanley. I feel better now (I think :confused:)

Re: Nice and early AFC Wimbledon Match Thread...........
 

Me too. I can let go of my unseemly persecution complex now.

Re: Nice and early AFC Wimbledon Match Thread...........
 

Really good to come away with three points yesterday. I've been surviving at recent games with not expecting to get anything and being pleasantly surprised with a point. Still the effort all the individual players have put in recently at least leaves me thinking they ARE playing for the shirt. I'm not a fan of Charlie's and I thought he had a poor first half with the ball seeming as usual to be passing him by an him unable to make a tackle. However, his second half performance especialy down the left hand side was outstanding and worth mentioning. Altogether, enjoyed the game, effort and the the result and yes it was close but I do think we shaded it and were worth the three points.

I think Kipax deserves congratulating on the photo of Will on the fishy site match report, just after scoring the winner. Absolutely wonderful. Well done Tony (and Will)!

He does look a bit like Luke Joyce, as well. Even down to the Captains armband.
