You sit about 9 feet away from the Belgian lad every home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Whatever Wellens says his focus will once again be on not losing. Once that idea surfaces the team will play conservatively which of course means putting the ball in the opposition half so the lucky travellers to Norbiton will see another exhibition of Byrne watching the ball fly over his head. If Wimbledon win that is another team safe. If we draw we are still in the mire and they are one step away from safety. If we win we will then be one step away from safety. I don't like the focus on our two home matches because to use a poker analogy the equity in winning this match is immense. I don't like matches against teams who have nothing to lose or gain and both Southend and Doncaster have nothing to play for which usually allows them the freedom to play well. Northampton are also likely to be relegated when we visit them so I see this next game as not our only chance but definitely our best chance of avoiding the drop.

Problem was when Byrne did get the ball he was either dispossesed or gave it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Wouldn't be surprised to see Byrne left out for this one. Worth starting Davies even if he can't do the full match. Tope/Benteke on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He - and Doyle - are our best players...... and Richie needs to set the team up to suit them both. For me, that means playing one of Davies/Holloway up top with Doyle and letting Byrne play through the middle...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I've just looked at the Wombles website. Apparently there is an athletics meeting on locally and parking will be at a premium. They are also forecasting a sellout and are asking ST holders who won't be attending to let the club know so that they can sell their seats. They only have a limited number of terrace tickets left.

No, that would be suicide. As said above I think Davies will play if at all possible and Tope will come in on the left or right, hopefully left.

Don't count Northampton out, they won at Bury scoring 3 goals in the process, with the old manager gone that could signal a turnaround.

Fyldelatic Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Fishul now says that a small number of tickets are available for Latics fans at AFC Wimbledon, and suggests you arrive there early. Clearly what's left at BP is being taken to AFC by the team, as it usually happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
