Keeping the ball is going to be crucial on Saturday, and keeping loose passes to a minimum because these don't mess around when they win the ball back. Shape, position and communication please!

 

I think Tolaj is the one attacking player who seems to suffer from the rotating attack. Last night he didn't seem his blustering self to me. He's a player who needs a run to unlock his potential I reckon. Not that he was bad at Harrogate, but he'd have marched through them and got 3 if it was after the County game.

Off day for Lorent. Wishing him a happy birthday today nonetheless 🥳 rotation is key if we are to achieve promotion. Nobody gets complacent, horses for courses depending on the opponents, and in case of injuries they all need to be ready & able to adapt. Tolaj is still learning his trade coming from non league so he’s going to have these dips from time to time but he will be back to his normal self in no time. UTV

The one thing you could say about that is that MK are the only decent side they've beaten and that was when they were in really bad form. Possibly to a degree Fleetwood but Notts aside and Bradford they've not faced many of the top sides yet.

Interesting situation. They are 8 points behind us and 3 home games in hand, so a six pointer at this stage?

Morning all. Can anyone help: I’ve got a mate who’s a Wimbledon fan and travelling up for the game… Can anyone tell me what’s the best pub for away fans to recommend to him?

Not sure what's the best pub, not sure if there is a designated away pub but we drink in the Green Star, it's a 15 minute walk from the ground and he will have no problems.
No hot food but free parking.

The Bulls Head is open to away fans.

Thanks both, much appreciated. Any other suggestions also welcome.

I can't see us starting without Stockley. I think the whole reason he didn't play on Tuesday was to rest him / not get him injured ahead of Saturday.

After Tuesday, I can see Paton perhaps starting with Stockley but not in place of him.

The partnership that will give defenders absolute kittens!

The club are doing their best to make me well up today with their twitter posts. Those fist pumps from the gaffer, Patons face when the fans are singing his name & Connor Halls song at the end! Wow love it 🥰

There may well be other partnerships to emerge as well. With 3 tough games with 8 days changes had to be made, the days of fixed forward lines have long gone.

True. By no means am I saying stick with those pair, just be nice to see them alongside each other. Really feel they’ll compliment each other’s games 👍🏻
