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

Accoring to the Telegraph, Coid and, probably, Kiernan are out for the season:
Accrington Stanley defender out for season (From Lancashire Telegraph)

I'm gutted for Danny. Just as he was becoming a regular starter...

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

Was chatting to Rob on twitter last night. He reckons he is back in 2-3 weeks.

As for Coidy, im actually gutted for him, along with Matt Bates at Middlesborough, Owen Hargreaves & Kieron Dyer, 1 of the unluckiest men in football :(

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

I would go same team as Tuesday, but bring Hatfield in for Evans !!!

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

Give Kurtis a start for me, personally like the guy as a player, just needs a little bit of luck and beefing up a bit to stay at Stanley next season. Oh and Will Hatfield as well.

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

Meself i would leave it alone,reason they need bit of time together.:)

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

Maybe Craney in for Barnett. Otherwise same side as Tuesday.

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

Rochdale 0-2 at home to resurgent Walsall and ten points adrift of safety unfortunately.

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

Jinx :)

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

He's some impact player :D:D:D

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

Well done lads, a great 3 points. Thought a draw was probably a fair result but who cares!!

Thought Evans was pretty pap, did not look interested from the 1st minute of the game till his withdrawal, I would ship him back down the M65 after that today to be honest.

Thought Barnett had his best game of the season :) , did not stop for a minute in the 2nd half, start Craney instead!??! Do me a favour.

Thought Liddle also had his best game in a reds shirt at the back, well done lad.

Yet again Hatfield snatches another goal near the end, what does he have to do get a start!!! Well done super Will :)

Roll on the English Riviera next weekend !!!!!1 :D

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

Barnett was MoM fer me,was good to see him hit some form,;) Think MoM was chosen by the sponsors of L.S.D.?:D Thought it was a good game by two evenly matched sides, coulda gone either way, but happy it went ours. agree Liddle was very good, as was kevin Mc,

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

"0:59 Mat Mitchel-King takes a shot. Save by Ian Dunbavin." - Had that shot gone in, it could've been a very different game. Well played Ian. Man of the match award well deserved in my opinion, though I suspect the humble pie will still be left to go sour on the AccyWeb table.

I'm glad Charlie wasn't dropped as per my pre-game thoughts, as despite his anonymous appearances of late he - along with the brilliant Michael Liddle - took the game by the scruff of the neck in the second half.

Joyce, Devitt and Grant were wasteful, giving the ball away far too often. Evans was as disappointing as ever. Podge on the other hand was tireless. Lindfield hard working yet again. Hatfield the super sub.

Good, hard fought win. Well done Cooky and the boys.

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

Midgets 2, Giants 1. Never have I seen a game with the teams so mis-matched by physique! Even the smallest player in their starting eleven was bigger than Murph, who easily looks to be our tallest. It went from the sublime to the ridiculous when the subs came on. One of theirs was a about 6'7" whilst Hopper is so small his number 24 nearly overlaps round the front of his shirt. Never mind, he really put himself about and got some well deserved applause. They may have had the inches, but we had the bigger hearts. Charlie MOM for me too, closely followed by little Liddle, Craig and Bobby. Great entertainment in the second half after I thought the Dons were going to run away with it in the first.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
