The Chairboys cup run continues on Sunday when the Wombles visit Adams Park for the 3rd time this calendar year and let hope for the same result as seven weeks ago when goals from Josh Scowen and Sam Wood secured a comfortable win. Team news is that Paris will not play as he picked up his 5th yellow last Saturday Hogan Ephraim, Sam Wood and Aaron Holloway could return from injury while Gary Doherty remains sidelined no news yet from Rotherham and Brentford on the availability of Mawson and Rowe. This is a game I will have to watch on TV I think itâs on the red button as I start a 12hr night shift at 6pm but Iâm hoping to have an interest in the 3rd round draw on Monday
surely they would still be unavailable, neither of these two have been involved yet and if they wouldn't let us use them for Barnet id find that a strange change of heart... As ever hope we can win this then get a big team in the third round, still fancy a trip to old Trafford an I will be back in the UK by then
I am off to this one for a change managed to get away for the day hoping for a good result to the third round
For those that can't make the game i found a streaming site that is showing the game live - livetv. I use it a lot and the picture is much better than wiziwig.
Just back from a piss poor game. It should have deservedly been a 0-0 draw. AFC predictably hoofed it up all game to Akifenwa and we stupidly played hoofball in return getting no joy at all out of their centre backs. As much as I am an admirer of Bloomfield or his commitment and effort. Today he was truly woeful as was Kretch. The changes in midfield seemed to affect us most as we had no potency down the flanks. In fact we only seemed to come to life when the substitutions wer made and Holoways height paid dividends up front. Hayes was surprisingly inconspicuous for most of the game, but them again he has been great so far so you can allow him an off day. Craig was ineffective and seemed to win nothing in the air. Ironically the Dons fans were singing about us diving and cheating and yet their players were appalling. It paid dividends for them though as it disrupted the game when we started to get a bit of rhythm about our play. Akifenwa must have been pulled up for around 8 fouls and how he never got a yellow card is beyond me. Perhaps the ref was scared of him...I certainly wouldn't want to meet him down a dark alley! All in all a poor day where we missed the likes of PCH giving us width etc. the defence coped quite well with bombardment considering the changes. Not sour grapes at all, but AFC looked extremely one dimensional and weren't any more deserving of a win than us. Lastly a few were calling offside for their goal, but I couldn't see for sure. The linesman was miles away from play so he was never going to give it. Did anyone see it on tv? Oh well, I was hoping for a greAt 3rd round tie to fill the coffers and maybe enable some squad strengthening. We do look distinctly average when we lose the loanees. Back to the old cliche......we can concentrate on the league!
Back from the game Wimbledon had done there homework on us came with game plan to stop us took the chance went it came along. They could have scored first minute, we had two chances first half both from good dead balls. Wimbledon very physical more what you expect from up t'north. Midfield did'nt exist today overpowered, we did not put them under any pressure at all for the first 70mins. With our small squad we needed the cash from a third round game what we did not need was a draw I don't think it would have done us any favours at all.
