Wimbledon today thread.

Agreed, was referring more to today’s game.
Conneely one of our better players today.

Dan plays too deep for my liking. Silly free kick to give away on edge of area.

Would like to see him play further forward but we don’t know what he’s been instructed to do, was slightly bemused by the team selection today and I’m disappointed with a point however not had a impact just makes Tuesday nights game a even bigger one.

The ref was a disgrace ...

The fact you could see that from where you, KJ, just about sums up the ref’s performance!
However, that was an extremely nervy 95 minutes of football.
There was no Stanley MotM for me, but equally no-one who let the side down.
At times the goal mouth scrambles were like The Alamo and the Stanley players rarely looked comfortable, not least because Wimbledon closed them down quickly and in numbers.
I’m sure Wimbledon will feel they dropped two points whilst I reckon Stanley are mighty glad to come away with one.
Although Billy missed, I thought the penalty was a tad soft. It may have been compensation from the ref for booking Smyth earlier for diving when it looked more of a foul from the defender. Maybe the video will prove me wrong.
Wimbledon were generally quicker and stronger, and certainly bigger. Had to smile when Stanley were defending yet another free kick just outside the box and their “wall” consisted of Smyth, Clark, and Kee!
Over to the home fans now for the next two nerve-wracking instalments! I’m off to lie down in a darkened room.

i dont think so josh, i think and always have we will remain in league one, but the simple fact is neither us nor wimbledon will go any higher given our players, not asking anyone to like it but thats my opinion, not that i'm that bothered oer going higher, this is a great level for us imho.

Try harder :D, Havnt been the same team since his Departure and replaced with Donacien. Also think Ihiekwe was a massive loss, what I’d do for a back four of Johnson Sykes Ihiekwe Anderton.

Love Hughesy and he’s our only real leader but his legs have gone.
 
Controversial comment coming up.
If Barlaser and Finlay had started in centre mid today we would have lost.
Conneely and Brown doing the dirty work.


Delighted to see Clark back and firing on all cylinders. The enforced lay off has helped no end with his injury.
How on earth he’s accumulated the yellow card tally I do not know.
I really want to see that “penalty” back again before saying anything but it looked nailed on to me.
We’re going to be fine.
I’m actually looking forward to midweek.
 
I was wrong. Just seen the 47 seconds of “highlights” and it was certainly a penalty. Maybe the Wimbledon player figured he could get away with it twice.

Also agree with 28 (:eek:). Messrs Conneely and Brown turned out to be a good choice in a roughty-toughty game, and neither Finlay nor (briefly) Barlaser made that much impact.
But, at home, Stanley will need to be more creative in midfield.
For much of this game Stanley’s tactic comprised the back four passing the ball sideways across the pitch, with Wimbledon backing off until they slowly approached the half way line, only for a long ball to be then hoofed up for our ‘midget gems’ to try and win headers against much bigger defenders.
 
I take your point Exile.
However we need one in midfield with a defensive mentality even at home. It would be wrong to go trigger happy against Rochdale.
I’d go three at the back.
Dimi
Sykes Hughes Ben
Johnson Finlay Conneeely McConville
Clark
Kee Smyth

Time to give Janoi a break.
 
I would suggest sousa should start up front for a few games. Billy on the bench and used as an impact sub. This will give him the time he needs to recover from the battering he gets every week. Smyth is quick but inexperienced, He wastes a lot of energy chasing fresh air. However I do think we will scrape through.

Sousa is a five aside player IMO

I thought Sykes was the outstanding player for Stanley today and must be in contention for Young Player of the season, if not , with Finley a possible Player of Season. Tough game today. Nervy and twitchy for the last twenty minutes. Both sides are probably very happy with a point given other results at the bottom of L1. Tuesday v Rochdale is a must win.

so it was like every week. agree with a more creative mid fielder to start on tuesday night though. the sunderland game showed that we were better second half by getting on the front foot than being defensive like the first half.

Rochdale on Tuesday will be a battle apparently they played quite well against Sunderland so the team selected has to be up for a fight tactics and guile go out the window at this stage alright a win would be nice but we could settle for a point just don't lose.

On the money mate.
Plus if that’s the case bench him.
Loanees allegedly not putting the effort in make my blood boil.
It happens all over the place not just Accy.
Said it before said it again too much reliance on the loan market leaves you open to this.
Anyone else think Barlaser has mysteriously lost form as end of season approaches ?
Probably because he’s an idea where he’ll be next season and it’s not with us.
