Matchday Thread: AFC Wimbledon v Port Vale

[Guest]

For this game, I seem to remember Wimbledon launching long balls to their very tall players and scoring 4 late goals against Curzon Ashton.

Doesn’t bode well.

The rest of this post are my views on where we are as a team.

Apologies if it turns into something of any essay!

After Saturday, many, including myself, came away impressed; and with good reason.

Others were expressing concern.

I now agree with both.

The first two months of the season, we held our own.

As injuries and suspensions have kicked in, we have struggled.

We have consistently made other teams look good.

Even on Saturday, whilst playing well, we made Northampton look good!

I see a team of highly talented, young and very inexperienced players, who are playing well.

But it is still not good enough yet.

In time, I feel confident that they will be very good L1 players.

Smurf and his management team have a very important phase to negotiate.

IMHO, we need a couple more no nonsense pro’s with a track record to shepherd the raw talent that we seem to have in abundance.

I seriously hope those at the helm get it right.

Spot on .

Loved the high level of energy in our team but we lost so if u look at it from a fan who wasnt theres perspective u would be not happy at all yet i come away from that game 1 million times happier than v Stevenage won v Charlton drew v Fleetwood won v Coventry lost .

A few more experienced pros we will be going great guns i predict .

So smurf and Browny and Bruno have to get it right

I forsee another defeat as we are on the crest of a slump.

Problem is that you don't get points for potential. We have a lot of inexperienced players who may or may not make it. We need players who can do it now, not next season.

[Conrad]

Yes very true. Aguero also not playing against us on Saturday as he is also suspended.

No need to be sarcastic, I was just pointing out that even if he did still play for Wimbledon he's suspended anyway.

You're thinking of Bury,now that's what you call a slump.Eleven league defeats on the bounce is it now?

[Santa]

What's our own league form like? 1 win in 9 is it?

[Mario]

4th from bottom in the current league table.

[For Us All]

Nothing to worry about,you know the saying.

Form is temporary,class is permanent.

Keep The Faith.

Up The Vale.

I make it P13 W4 D5 L4 in all competitions; P10 W2 D4 L4 in the League - 3 of those defeats were away at Bolton, Charlton and Sheff Utd: at least 2 of these will be getting promotion (imo). But, my glass is at least half-full and I don't very often make a point of looking for the negatives!

Pep out.
