Wimbledon v Swindon Town Matchday Thread

[Jimmy Quinn]

Two hard away games coming up and need to start picking up some points on our travels.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Still haunted by that disgraceful capitulation there last season - not helped by a bench full of kids. I bet Michael Flynn wonders why he couldn’t have had a similar squad to this season.

I’ve a feeling without checking that Wimbledon are strong at home - if Holloway doesn’t tinker too much I think we will draw 1-1.

A Bradford-esque line up and we lose.

Was a disgrace. But the line up was not much different in quality than this year's to be fair. It was the one dimensional Flynn who'd just completely run out of ideas. We still had Kemp and Young then as well

Would probably take a draw. Pity both Morecambe and Carlisle can't both lose as they're playing each other.

[Batch]

Last year was terrible. We can't play that badly there again.

Expecting a closer loss.

[Pericardinho]

Is this sold out?

Pre match keep the ears warm, wear a hat in the Costa in Victoria Place.

It’s Christmas so drink as much as you can, but in this case that will have to wait until 10am.
Pretty much every away game seems to be a lot like Christmas.

Will ruminate over a pint or two before setting off for the muster point & an appointment with the dreaded Tooting beer monster.

Tooting eh, always reminds me of the TPF and "Power to the People!", for those of a certain age.

Used to really look forward to Boxing Day fixtures.
Not so much these days sadly.
A bit of a social beforehand & getting home ok would constitute a good day.

Had to go full bus wanker to get to London for a reasonable time this morning.
Thank you to National Express, at least one form of public transport is operating on Boxing Day.

The last away game was an offensive display but maybe not in the way that the away support were hoping for.
Hopefully the good things that only Holloway saw at Bradford are translated into shots on goal and some final third, let alone box entries today.

Suspect that it will be a far more critical audience today, if there is a repeat then Ian will have his work cut out at the end to work his way through the complainants.

In the main I do appreciate most of his comments that relate to the team & football matters.
Not so much the village of Box is missing its idiot type remarks.

He's got one job only, and to be fair is succeeding in keeping our heads above the water so far.
I do wonder if he might be suited, at some stage, to a DoF role a la Barry Fry at Peterborough?

So, would take a point today after zero shots on target & less than 5 touches in the opposition box.
Would object to a defeat after zero shots on target & less than 5 touches in the opposition box.

Fine line isn't it & illustrates that following this shit around is maybe not the ideal lifestyle choice.

Ian probably wouldn't approve.
I don't care what Ian thinks.

The good times will come again, one day. That’s what keeps me going.

Merry Christmas and enjoy the game folks.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Hope you have a great day WB.... I went to this one last year (as I'm sure you did) and it was an absolute shocker...

[adje]

Yeah,thanks SE trains! Can't bloody go now

[Batch]

Yeah. Trains on boxing day. Red flag!

Hence giving this a miss

[iParadise]

3-1 Wimbledon

[Peter Venkman]

3-1 Wimbledon

Thats where I am at too tbh.

Happy to be proved wrong though.

[Jimmy Quinn]

I’d forgotten Josh Davison had left for Tranmere.

I’d forgotten Josh Davison had left for Tranmere.

Shame!

[Jimmy Quinn]

No better or worse than players we’ve since signed.
