Title: Is anyone ACTUALLY going to watch Walsall v Wimbledon
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on May 17, 2025, 02:25:45 pm
0-0 after Extra Time & Penalties ??

Any takers ?

That approach has worked for them!

The top 6 teams for average possession in League 2 haven’t been promoted.

Probably the most pointless statistic in football today.

The tippy-tappy process-driven bores have been defeated.

Given way to the snooze fest anti football cheating shite!
The sooner this lot are wiped from the football world the better in my view.
This should be a game about winning and trying to be the best. It’s about entertainment, what these teams do is not, I hate it. Clearly.

Wimbledon take cheating to a whole new level. Horrible team.

I had some sympathy for Wimbledon when their club was turned into Franchise FC. But now they seem to channeling everything that was bad about the original club

Horrible team but if they win the play off final then it will prove that sometimes cheats can prosper.

It’s not just the cheating I despise, it’s the score a goal and defend for your life - do not attempt to attack unless the opponent scores and only then.

This is how they both play, but from watching them they don’t need to play that way, they are relatively competent at attacking.

I’d be sooo frustrated as a fan of a team playing that way, I would just stop watching.

But I must admit apart from Macari misreading the flight of the ball it was a Premiership (and above) great control and finish.

But could he ever do it again - unlikely me thinx

I will be watching. Wife and Father in law are from Walsall but one of my best mates is Wimbledon fan and it is my favourite away day.
Win - win.

Wimbledon and Walsall fans.

It's a wild stab in the dark but I'll run with it.

Right time for one of my famous predictions

well not quite - I will come back to this post in 5 YEARS

Q.1) At what level will the Crystal Palace goalkeeper loaned to Wimbledon Owen Olamidayo Goodman (born 27 November 2003)

 Jackson Smith
Q.2 SAME FOR THE Stoke one
 Jackson Smith  (if he doesn't go into the music business)  loaned to Walsall

and for the crack

Q.3 What level will our Chelsea loanee goalkeeper be at

ok

Q.4
I might as well do all 4 play off keepers

  the Notts County goalkeeper Alex Bass  produced some great saves and he is obviously going up the leagues  (I expect Jatta to Plymouth by the way)

So where will the quartet be in 5 years ?

Which one do you prefer ? it isn't easy  to pick

Whoever scores first will win. I expect it to be Walsall. They have more attacking threat and will outscore Wimbledon.

Two teams that want to play a similar style. Whoever has less of the ball likely to win. That’s probably going to be Walsall I think. Bit of a coin toss of a match though.
