We've often struggled against Wimbledon.  I remember, years ago, when Colin Addison I believe was their manager, Rovers got into trouble with the FL because one of the many, many incensed supporters had thrown a cup of coffee over their directors sat in our directors box. They were effing awful that day. And they still are. I never, ever get my hopes up when we play 'em

I think we can take comfort for the fact that Wimbledon were far more dangerous when they were attacking with 11 men than they are defending.  When they’ve tried to preserve a lead recently they’ve not succeeded - eg vs Barrow.

3 minutes of added time seemed a bit tight, given Wimbledon had a mini summit after the sending off.

We look good. We need to keep the movement going to open them up and the goals will come. Huge second half for the season.

Post by: Colemans Left Hook on April 12, 2025, 01:34:21 pm
YOU WILL BE SHOCKED when you see the BRADFORD CHARITY goals (all 3)

ist goal scored from a Halliday long throw scorer unmarked  near post  -scored with his foot not his head !! and the next two goals were horrible defending

3rd goal came from a lHalliday long throw in ball allowed to bounce

2nd goal swindon hit a Bradford player with his clearance

Wimbledon have a Lebanese on the pitch let's  hope their promotion chances go up in smoke not ours

We could have played 70 mins with an extra man with a clinical striker on to hopefully get us 3 points and put us 2nd but because he's a petulant child we had to even it up and we're lucky to get a point.

Is that the last we will see of Sharp in a rovers shirt? 3 match ban. Which I can’t see the club appealing . His behaviour today will not endear him to Mcann at all

He won’t call out Billy, Billy Sharp. Can guarantee his post-match will be complaining about the referee’s decision.

Full time. Performance wasn't good enough in my opinion.
It was good enough for a point from one of our main rivals and keeps them below us!
Decent result for us

Very on brand from you.

We had a man advantage for 40-odd minutes.

Very on brand from you too,
We need 80 points, so 9 points from 5 games will do it

Thanks for that pretty irrelevant comment.

Sharp might have cost us promotion.
Don’t agree at all. All to play for. I think most of would have taken a point off the team directly below us. And anything can happen… Look at the Bradford result, for example.

Keep the faith, my good man.



We could have played 70 mins with an extra man with a clinical striker on to hopefully get us 3 points and put us 2nd but because he's a petulant child we had to even it up and we're lucky to get a point.

Yes. But to say he might have cost us promotion is a but overly dramatic I feel. Just my opinion of course.

Billy head butted their player in the back. If it is the other way around we would be screaming for a red. Absolutely stupid from Billy


Is that 100 per cent correct?

Yep. It happened right in front of me. I was inline about 8 rows away

Stupid of Sharp, a seasoned professional. I wonder if Lewis did or said something… The fact remains that the ref didn’t see it, he didn’t consult his assistant and seemed to send Sharp off solely on the say so of Lewis. Bizarre.

Lewis did do something.
As the ball went behind for a corner he put a forearm smash into the back of Billy’s neck.
Poor of Billy to react like he did though.

Will he b*llocks.!!

It’s a 46 game season with plenty opportunities to get points, not just a one-off game.

If we’re not good enough to get sufficient points to finish 3rd or above, one red card against a tough opponent isn’t going to be the deciding factor..
