[Archived] Wimbledon

[Husky]

This is awful. Though I don't quite know what I was expecting.

[Tom]

Losing against a team that can barely control a ball 

[Fraserkirky]

Completely out muscled and out paced

[Bigdoggsteel]

Looks like Conway shouldn't have started. With the options we have that shouldn't happen

Defence is fine. Conway 100% at fault for the goal. Ruins 15 minutes good work from the team. 

It's not fine, they look wide open to me, just my opinion of course

[G Somerset Rover]

Tin hat time. But we haven't been playing that well during this run. Just been resolute and taken chances when they've come our way. Therefore, expecting us to win 4-1 MK style will not happen every time at home. Back down to earth today I fear.

[OJRovers]

Rovers need to turn this round.

There's no right to win any game, but worth noting that Wimbledon's wage bill is 15 x smaller than Rovers.

 

[Bigdoggsteel]

We are losing at home to a team that didn't exist a few years ago, while Burnley are drawing away at Liverpool. Normal business as a rovers fan resumed  

[skous18]

so we have 3more players that at least on paper can change the game but we have 2 more changes to make so is it gonna be  Chapman and Graham or Graham and Whitingham

[K-Hod]

Very very poor half. Need some guile, craft or some pace to open them up second half. 

Could this be the game where Whittingham makes his mark?

Dont worry, we'll be back on our rump by the end of today 

We are looking very streaky 

[AAK]

Sometimes Samuel doesn't even look like footballer. His positional sense is so poor, running out wide when there is a winger there, and then the winger gets the ball and he's not in the box waiting for the cross, his first touch is ridiculously bad and his passing is schoolboy like. Very hit and miss player

[Gogger]

Feel like we need to play wider, with dack and bennet we are so narrow. Which results in Samuel and the Swede to play to wide and too deep. Maybe Samuel up front, Dack behind. And sub Swede for Chapman. Bennet left wing and Chapman right.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Not sure what we have learned this half that we didn't know.

Conway and Ward should not be starting.

To be fair to Antonsson, he's done ok this half.  Midfield two have been poor.  They are a good pairing away but no creativity in them.  Worth trying Dack in there and we defo need Chapman on.

[Give 'Em the Axe]

That sinking feeling...

Awful for the goal. Bad miss from Samuel when it was put on a plate for him. See how it goes in the second half, I suppose...

[rhodie]

So far we have had more of the ball, more shots, more corners and had to make less saves. Lets hope that we can get it in the back of the net at least once in the next half, I`m beginning to think this is going to be one of those days...

One of those games where we have a lot of the ball but do nothing with it.

[Irishrover213]

Very bad 1st half. Ward nearly gave them a 2nd. Antonasson is working very hard. They look knackered very laboured.

Hopefully a better 2nd half. 1st 10 mines will be crucial 

[Tom]

Actually think it's a good game for Whittingham, they will sit deep now and his class may shine through with a way to get through them

[RevidgeBlue]

Doubt there's a less effective pair of wide men anywher in the League than Conway and Bennett. Atrocious. Dack on for the injured Conway may be a blessing in disguise.

Unfortunately Smallwood and Evans are having stinkers as well so feel sorry for the 2 frontmen who havent had any service. 

Need Chapman on for Bennett asap.

[des]

played okist  the ball is not being held up front  lets hope that changes snd half

At what point would you look to bring him on? I'd love for him to play well, but I'd be sketchy about subbing him on given how underwhelming he was in the first two home games.

Yeah it's all Bennetts fault.

[perthblue02]

Just replayed the goal , 3 defenders within a couple of metres of the Wimbledon goalscorer (only womble in the box)and another three a tad further away and conway is getting the blame for losing the ball near the halfway line?

Bennet is an enigma.  Lots of effort and endeavour but no real quality.  

Lets hope we come out this half.
