Well it was a steal.

Live around the corner, so reluctantly going to this. Dragging the missus along too, last time was away at Charlton and she looked thoroughly unimpressed!

I'm in London Wednesday.

If it had been for two days I might have gone to my first away game for 29 years.

That's shocking Otis. Call yourself a proper fan

I have a fear of football grounds other than my own.


I am going to Wembley blindfolded.

Or even "other"

I think it's called stadiumitis

Suggest you get sedated first. I find a gallon of Guinness works a treat but the only problem these days is I spend half the game having a pee.

Can see them being physical again 2-1 loss.

Unless he brings in new players today, right now, signed and able to play tomorrow, we have defeat written all over us before we enter the field of play.

Feeling far too sorry for ourselves and it's not like we can even say we are particularly unlucky. So many of the goals we let in are our own fault, through poor play and though we hit the woodwork on occasion at the other end, we don't create nearly enough chances.

Lack of fight and spirit too.

Showed it in the cup last Tuesday, but not replicating that in the league.

Unless Slade either does something radical with team selection, or Folivi is fit and plays like Messi, or new signings are made, I'm afraid the best we may get out of this is a draw.

As it stands though, 2-0 defeat.

I spend half the game going for a pee too.

Harder in the warmer months though, as whoever is sitting next me tends not to wear a jacket that has pockets.

Suggest you try the thermos flask option. Only problem is I can fill it in one go.

I takw it the bus is off?

Yeah sadly. Shame it's got to this. If filled it would've been a tenner each. I know it's midweek but thought we could've got at least a dozen or so for a minibus!

There's a protest at the FL / SISU before the game isn't there? Be good if the full details were posted up for those who are heading down.

Nothing to lose now so would go three up front.

RCC

DKE Clarke Turnbull Haynes

Rose Bigi Stevenson

Tudgay Yak Kwame

Willis one more game to serve?

Prefer Clarke to Rawson. Most people have been saying how poor Rawson is.

Who is the shittier of the two?

Beavon not injured, but has a dodgy hamstring and hasn't covered himself in glory. 2 other strikers scored on Saturday plus we have the Yak in Attack!

As for dropping Clarke, I do sympathise with that view but a back 4 of Turnbull, DKE, Haynes and Rawson looks too inexperienced - need at least one older head in there.

Hasn't covered himself in glory? How so?

The club do make it hard to book tickets.

Website has a big heading of "TICKETS: AFC Wimbledon v Coventry City - Tickets are available in advance until midnight on Monday 13th February"

Not currently on sale online. So call the 0844 number to be on hold for 10 mins at 7p a minute to be told. Currently not on sale.

That was part of the idea with the coach but only had half a dozen people enquire and some of those then couldn't go.

Well it's looking like Yak won't be available. If Beavon is fit I'd play him. Thought he looked a class above going forward personally. Does what Tudgay should on paper.

We've got a couple of seats spare in the car for anyone needing a lift down there.

Aren't you going to bring them back?

1-2 to Coventry and a win :finger:

Depends if they pay their fuel money when we get down there.

You old romantic.

Very sharp.

Because since his debut goal he hasn't scored in 6 games (if you count the one against Wycombe, I'm a Dutchman).

The start of our comeback. First of 13 wins in a row. Nailed on.

Don't remember beavon crashing one in like tudguy did on Saturday from 20 yards....??? Anyhow team for tomorrow....hmm tricky but think I'd go with following.

Burge. GK
Rose Rb
Haynes. Lb
Turnbull. Cb
Reason. cb
Bigi. Cm
Reilly. Cm
Reid. Lw
Jones. Rw
Tudguy. St
K. Thomas. St

Subs: rcc, dke Clarke lameiras Stevenson g.thomas, yak

Ha I meant rawson ! :bookworm:

I do like the idea of Rose at RB.

Well Wimbledon will go direct so rose at rb a good fit in a way this game may be perfect for Clarke and rawson but think Turnbull deserves another crack!
