Matches The League 1 Promotion Run In

Was at Wimbledon Wycombe today with two friends who were both neutrals, both by the end fully gunning for a Wombles win they were so pissed off by the Wycombe antics. Such an intensely unpleasant side. Whole second half was just bombing balls into Vokes and Akinfenwa in the box, no imagination, creativity or quality on display at all. Wycombe should have had two reds for elbows to the face right in front of the fourth official and the goal came about on about the third phase of play of Wimbledon having a man go down off the ball clutching his thigh in agony unable to walk. Standard fare.

That Hanlan up top was utterly dire. Seems just our luck we caught him on the one day he decided to hve a worldy. And no Mehmeti, who looked a real handful.

Had no idea Osei Yaw played for them. Absolute, absolute pony. So bad, don’t think he had a touch. How on Earth did he sign for us.
 
It's no good looking back at those matches. Over the season we have conceded almost as many goals as the team in 18th. Solving that problem has to be top of Karl's "to do" list.
Getting repetitive, this sort of post

"There's no point looking back ..... unless I can use the past to make yet another dig at the club/KR!"

Well, true, and we could have conceded only 43 goals, as the Shrews had done before today's game (same number played as us), and reached the giddy heights of 16th. Or be in 3rd place, like MK.
 
I agree that it’s most likely Wycombe win on paper, but I would not be remotely surprised if Wimbledon get a result. Wycombe haven’t beaten them in their last six meetings. It’s been three wins for Wimbledon and three draws, and in 14 meetings in total Wycombe have only won twice, the first of which came in the FA Cup when AFC were still in the Conference South. Wycombe really don’t do well against them traditionally - they can’t seem to bully and sh*thouse them like they can many others.

Fast forward to Wycombe winning comfortably tomorrow and me putting my big book of stats into a flaming bin.
Well, I stand corrected.

Can you convince me that Crewe can get something off of Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow night now please?
 
We have to win tomorrow now. No excuses.

How’s our bottle?
Not sure that it is all about bottle.
We are playing a better team.
We need to take our chances and in any game of football you can get the breaks (we will definitely get chances)
And we clearly need to defend better.
Get the breaks and we have a chance.
Which would set Saturday up beautifully.

We cant say we’re playing a better team if we still have aspirations of getting out of this league surely...? Lets say luckier 😉
 
Derby County for us next season. Been to the Baseball Ground twice, but looking forward to a new ground next season.
 
Looking at the table, a point didn't do the Wombles much good did it?
Absolutely garguantuan game for them at Fleetwood on Saturday. Gone unless they win it.

Anyways, after the final whistle against Sunderland, our season was on life support. Ten days later and we're still going......just need a massive performance tomorrow to keep hope alive until the weekend.

Also, today's results make it a racing certainty that Derby are going to be playing Forest Green next season.
Would have taken a world-leading display of pessimism for any Derby fan to have seen that coming three years ago when Lampard was taking them to Wembley!
