Reesh Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Another easy looking game on paper but this Wednesday and doing things easy aren't our way. Dons, manager less, without a win in 21. You know the script. Quote
Hirstys 12th Pint Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 Berahino in for NML who can be brought on from bench. Quote
Jim Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 After throwing it away at their place earlier in the season we know they've got it in them to fight back, and we have been known to be helpful when ending other teams losing runs.. but we're a different animal now so I'm saying 3-1. Quote
owl71 Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 On a serious note, they are a very good example of a football club that is active in the community. As an example, their Dons Local Action Group does food collections every weekend outside the supermarkets near me. Despite that, they are just about the most out of form side in all four divisions, so we really need an efficient, ruthless performance. Harder games coming up. Quote
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 It has banana 🍌 written all over it but with a full week to prepare we are usually OK these days. Last week was another stepping stone that we conceded early but turned it round. Good for the players but also for us the fans Quote
M42Owl Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Unless there’s drastic changes, we should have enough to win comfortably, even if they pack the defence. This and Crewe are the games to improve our goal difference: only three behind Oxford. 2-0 if they take the same approach as Accrington. 5-0 if they play like Cambridge. Quote
Reesh Posted March 31, 2022 Author Posted March 31, 2022 They've appointed ex Reading boss Mark Bowen til the end of the season! Remember him thundercunting one in from distance for Norwich at the Kop end to start their comeback from 3-0 to earn a draw Quote
Reesh Posted March 31, 2022 Author Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Looking at the pics from training up on the OS looks like we have a decent squad to pick from, the only noticeable absentees being Windass, Adeniran and Gibson, ignore Palmer, cos he's shite. Byers has a reyt shiner! https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2022/march/-gallery-from-the-training-ground/ Edited March 31, 2022 by Walkley Quote

KrolMong Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Heard a bit of rumour, and it’s only a rumour, that Windass might be back next weekend. Quote
owl4ever1867 Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Wednesday 3-0 Wimbledon Berahino Gregory Byers Quote
Billysboy Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Pessimism's engrained in us following this club, but let's be reyt losing to these and getting a play off spot shouldn't be in the same sentence. Quote

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Need to be patient again here. Will be red hot favourites. Looking at other fixtures its one just to make sure we don't slip up with MK, Sunderland and Wycombe having easy games. Possibility to put pressure on Plymouth or Oxford. Quote
Reesh Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 Shrewsbury are 1 place below us in the form table, hardly easy, Gillingham also found a fair bit of form under Neil Harris Quote
HoylandOwl Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Some bits from the gaffer pre game. DM: Saido has come back fine, straight back into training and is fine. He had 90 minutes of game time, come back unscathed and has trained DM: Lewis Gibson is back now, back on the pitch and we're just making sure with him. He's back on the pitch and progressing, if everything goes well then he will join back up with the team. I would say at least a couple of weeks before we can consider him DM: Shodipo will be named in the squad tomorrow, he has progressed really well. He has trained well this week DM: Palms is fine, he is back training and looking strong. I am hoping he joins back up with us after the weekend DM: The highlight for me last week; we went a goal down from a deflected effort and the energy from the crowd that we got.. I was really pleased and left the stadium delighted with that response from the fans. They had a real energy, we felt it and I want to thank them DM: Wimbledon will be difficult opponents. There is a new manager in, new voice, new ideas, players come in, training changes.. you get a natural reaction. That's why it's important that we have worked hard this week on focus and detail DM: We want to keep moving forward, everyone has their part to play and that's all we are focused on at the moment. There is a good atmosphere here, a unity but we have to work and get on with the job at hand DM: I was really disappointed (with the reverse fixture v Wimbledon). What should have been a convincing win turned into a point. We switched off and allowed them back into the game. We have to make sure we apply ourselves and are 100% in all departments tomorrow DM: There has definitely been a progression with us this season and even now, there are things we need to be better at, things we can be better at and that's what we have been working on Quote
Reesh Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 Proof you can be a teachers pet to get in the squad..... What has Shodipo done to warrant it Quote
HoylandOwl Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Be fit enough to be chosen? (You do have a point though) Quote

Reesh Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 For anyone who reads the OS previews. Do they normally show last 5 fixtures in the previous meetings bit? Probably just me being cantankerous but wouldn't have minded if we'd used the games between the clubs before the MK bollocks occurred to fill it out Quote
HappyOwl Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Can’t believe it was shorts and T shirt last Saturday gunna be bloody freezing for this one 🥶🥶🥶 Quote
HappyOwl Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Jordan Storey not well according to rumours 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Quote

Reesh Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 Got another Hillsborough debutant in the middle tomorrow so expect him to make it all about him Quote
Reesh Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 Played for both (old Wimbledon counts for this) Andy Pearce Efan Ekoku Wade Small Paul Heald Deji Olishaja Quote

Reesh Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 Heald was a Wednesday fan who pulled off a reyt save at Lane in a 0-0 midweek, think Ekoku missed a sitter for us too. Quote

I don't think he actually played a game for them did he? And I suppose youth team/reserve games don't count. Quote

Baresi Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 4-1 win for Wednesday. Straightforward win following a similar performance to last week. Quote

HappyOwl Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 Sorry just to let you know it’s all my fault well not really she’s forgot to wash my lucky shirt for today ffs I’m gunna say 2-1 to them 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Quote
Reesh Posted April 2, 2022 Author Posted April 2, 2022 Pleasing to see he's not making changes for the sake of it. Not sure how Shodipo warrants inclusion mind. Quote
M42Owl Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 Can't argue with that team. 3 - 0 Gregory, Iorfa, Bannan. Quote
Supercockle Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 12 minutes ago, Reesh said: Pleasing to see he's not making changes for the sake of it. Not sure how Shodipo warrants inclusion mind. Looks a solid side. Agree with you about Shodipo. That’s a decent bench too. Quote
Tylluan Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 18 minutes ago, Reesh said: Pleasing to see he's not making changes for the sake of it. Not sure how Shodipo warrants inclusion mind. Possibly because there's no one else can fill the left wing back spot if Johnson gets injured, unless he changes shape or asks NML to drop back. It's Kamberi that misses out so maybe no big deal on Shodipo's inclusion in that sense Quote
