Think it will be a tougher game than we think with the heat, just hopefully a better performance than the last 3 games with a win to match

Big babies Andrews and Long!!

Fingers crossed for big Tom. Hard to predict how the game will go in this heat but hope they can muster some fluidity in our play. At least we shouldn't be lumping it up for the big man.

Would love to see a Rowe blockbuster today and Miller carrying on his scoring habit.

We’ve managed 4 points from the first 2 and I don’t know how so anything from today would be nice as well!

Hope we have a plan rather than try and stop theirs. Can we make it past HT without making a sub or changing formation?

The same young men that are there that’s apart from Jones Andrews and Long we signed the others for the future and to put out on loan but they are the only ones  available for the bench. I wonder if Seaman is on his way or a loan.
When and if Molyneux and Close are ready we should look a bit better.

DFP saying....

14 CLOSE!

Maxwell’s cross-cum-shot drifts just wide of the far post.

Fairly confident start by Rovers, this. They’re seeing plenty of the ball.

Title: Re: Wimbledon vs Rovers
Post by: Donny Dub on August 13, 2022, 03:48:15 pm
We’re playing a good passing game today, good tactics in the heat.   Make Wimbledon do the running about.  We do need a goal before the break though.

HT 0-0 Much better performance in posession. A bit slow paced but understandable in the conditions. We are getting forward with some nice passing moves. Just lacking a finish.
Title: Re: Wimbledon vs Rovers
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 13, 2022, 03:57:44 pm
Trouble with BBC text, they miss stuff

45+4 CORNER

More decent build-up play ends with Miller’s shot deflecting behind for a corner.

Shot not recorded on their stats.

Sounds like a good half.

Post by: EasyforDennis on August 13, 2022, 04:00:35 pm
We are by far the better side and playing some great football. Tomlin showing his class. Maybe one day we might get a referee who shows a bit of consistency.

Really good first half performance. Just lacking the final magic. Fair play to Tomlin as he has been excellent. Overall good team performance so far and great to see Big Tom back. I hope he stays fit and has a long run in the side

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 13, 2022, 04:05:02 pm


From DFP

ENCOURAGING SIGNS

That’s the best Rovers have been with the ball so far this season but that final bit of quality has evaded them.

Clayton, Biggins and Tomlin in particular have looked good on the ball.

The build-up has been encouraging but Miller, Rowe and Hurst need to get more involved in the game.

At the other end Mitchell has been alert and made a couple of fairly routine saves. Rovers on top but it’s all square still.

Great result. Such better mentality to not accept defeat like the whole of last seasons from the lads.

Did anyone watch on ifollow? The dons commentators were deluded. They apparently dominated us all game, we were just sitting back and not showing any intent to attack, and we were being cynical and dirty all game.

Utter nonsense, stats show we had 63% possession, 11 corners to their three, similar number of shots. It always amazes me how deluded commentators can be when they are biased towards a particular team.

My view, we were better first all over them, they were better second. Neither team had much cut through, just they got one that bobbled around and in for their first.

The results from last two league games will go a long way to ensure the lads don't give up until the final minute. To me that's worth more than the extra point today.

Some people saying we sat back… utter b*llocks. 379 corners. 107% possession.

Seriously though. Brilliant comeback. Deserved a point and could have won it with that shot from Andrews just wide of the post.

Delighted for Williams. Tommy stepped up. They all put a shift in to pull that one out.

I do like Kuleya. He was good when he played last season. He makes things happen. Very positive player. Tomlin showed some class today. That free kick that hit the post… but his vision and crisp passing. Great.

Onwards. The spirit in this team is immense.
