It appears not everyone agrees with your summary. We're all biased in some way or another, it's part of the human condition. That's why we have Juries and don't just rely on a Judge to decide in significant legal cases where the stakes are high. The Ref. is Judge, Jury and Executioner... 

In this game he appeared to me to make more decisions against us than for us and for reasons I could not explain other than he had some inherent bias against us, unconscious or not. I rest my case your honour.

 

I 100% agree with @JoeB2

His through ball to Rico (for the third goal) with the outside of his boot took some vision and execution too.  Might be a challenge to hold onto him (as a loan or as a purchase) if he keeps on improving between now and Christmas.

As some have said we need to bag as many points as possible while we have Brandon, Rico and BBB because no one knows what will happen in January. Of the loanees, Brandon’s our most regular starter who lasts a full 90 minutes too, so potentially would be the biggest miss but this season and our squad, we have players we own who’d fill the gap at this level (Kyle John, Tom Sang etc) and there’s no evidence (with the current regime) to suggest we wouldn’t be able to successfully dip in to the loan market again for replacements, if any of the current crop were to move on.

Hopefully their parent clubs will see that we're treating them well, they're getting minutes and more importantly playing in a winning team.  We're not on a losing streak playing poor quality stuff week in week out as we were closer to Christmas last season.

Vastly different this season, our own players will all be immersed in the Moore Way and should be capable of carrying on the higher standards. But hopefully some if not most of the loanees will stay.

Cover great again yesterday. Scored a great goal & then his ball in behind for the 3rd is not being talked about enough. Absolute quality. Kissing the badge when he scored as well, love the bloke.

Watched the first half back. Croasdale was so cool after they hit the post. Outstanding control and turn right in front of his own goal and with a player flying in.

I agree Darren.

I think fans over rate Wimbledon. In the spells we played they really struggled to cope with us.  I felt like the game was too easy for our lads and they just lost concentration with sloppy play, subs weakening the team which allowed them back into the game.

For me Wimbledon are a typical L2 team who are very physical. I’d be surprised if they sneak into the playoffs. 

Of the teams we have played so far I would have them finishing belowChesterfield,MK,Donny,Fleetwood Notts County and Barrow.

Listing those teams we have played only highlights how impressive our run has been.

 

Perhaps a bit disrespectful to Wimbledon? I thought they always looked dangerous and had a goal threat even before they scored.  Easily the most physical side we’ve faced so far but also had some decent players.  As the game wore on we struggled to match their physicality, Garrity and Stockley going off compounding the issue.

Lumping balls in the box to a land of giants will always be dangerous.

Do you think they are a playoff team?

With Vale scoring 2 goals early on changed our game plan and psychology. I never felt we got out of 1st gear because of the early lead. Wimbledon are very Northamptonesque with their physicality and route one football. 

I agree with MBE, I thought that they weren't a very good footballing side. Over-rated for me.

They were effective. Sort out their away form and they'll be top 6 comfortably. I felt they played some decent stuff in the second half for a big, physical side.

Not a chance they will finish in the top 7. 

The only change I see from the current top 7 to the final top 7 is MK swapping with Bradford.
