Overall, a satisfying Christmas period for Wimbledon. I’m sure many would settle for 2 wins, one draw and one loss, plus more goals than our average and a couple of new scorers. In the cyclical nature of results and form for fitba teams, perhaps this is the start of Wimbledon’s upwards swing? Let’s hope so. A quick glance at MK’s results shows…[Read more]

I can’t imagine that the players on the bench are that much better than those on the pitch. Would they make much of a difference? The magic faeries arrive! We are not going to benefit from losing the Gaffer. I think it would be a mistake. The players need to start using their heaps of training time to actually improve and to learn to play as a…[Read more]

One spot above the relegation zone would be the perfect end to a disappointing season. So far, so good. I look forward to hearing your views on the latest ‘crunch’ game.

Reads like a miserable game. However, we are only 4 points adrift of where we were last season, so it is all redeemable. It is a tad worrying though that 40% of our goals have come against just Doncaster Rovers and attendances are down. But I suppose the club is totally skint and pinning all hopes on the return to Merton – though what has happened…[Read more]

From a huge distance, I’m predicting a relatively straightforward 3-1 win to the Wombles. Milton Keynes have lost their mojo of late – they had some good young talent, but sold them for journeymen from the globe. I think we will be much the hungrier, and the fans will be in a mood. But you know, easy as it is to target one’s anger against a club…[Read more]

Famous last words, but I just can’t see how bad it can become before the club sack the Gaffer. He has delivered the goods in previous years. He has little money to work with. He would not be replaced by anyone decent. There is surely no money for a new Gaffer or paying-out our old Gaffer (and all the messy back-room changes that occur). The club…[Read more]

We are only one point adrift of where we were last season, so any calls for the Gaffer to seek a (no doubt) better job will hopefully have to wait. With the budget he has, I’m surprised the Gaffer has stuck it thus far. We should hope that he does not go, as any replacement would likely also struggle and the home crowd would just have to enjoy a…[Read more]

We are all Happy Campers. Though I cannot attend games, and enjoy/rely on your expert blogs, I do feel there will be a bit of the same-old, same-old this season. Too good to go down, too average to go up? Probably just as well. Of course, to keep the fanatics happy, we will need some dramas this season. I wonder where such events will arise? Will…[Read more]

Lucky trialists not to have to attend camp in…Wales. Crikey, whatever happened to A Place in the Sun? Odd to hear about the deal whereby we try and sign a player, Milwall re-sign the player, and then we sign the player on loan. It’s not bleedin’ Wall Street is it? League One fitba! No wonder the managers and admin staff don’t have time to…[Read more]

Agreed, fantastic insights! If the Gaffer remains this articulate, he will surely prejudice his chances of moving on. One of the reasons that the likes of Poleon may have brewed discontent is that he burst onto the scene when the club were in a malaise, and did what he was supposed to do, which was score some goals and contribute to results. At…[Read more]

Colum. I am sure the Gaffer will have this on the agenda for the first team meeting (you know, the one with all of the new players who are really Championship players and are commanding such R E S P E C T). It may be that the players have to learn some Portuguese to get the ball back. Where is Eastleigh and why was the game postponed? For some…[Read more]

There have been some detailed reviews players over the last few weeks. Reading between the lines, it sounds as thought that most of them are fairly average. Six games since a goal, only scored twice in the last ten games, only won five in the last twenty games. Not much entertainment for the fans. Let us hope the management team can reverse this…[Read more]

Very interesting. But alas personally I cannot chip-in with any informed views, seeing so little of the action and not the live games (or the players off the ball). In fact there is so little sport here that one has to wonder if this is some Asian conspiracy. All I can pick up is that there is a general air of being resigned to us not having the…[Read more]

I liked your editorial Rob. Has the Gaffer got the will to resist the offers that are going to be coming his way? The stadium looks to be years off. Surely the odds of him lasting the course are too long. He would probably be the longest serving manager in the entire country if he made the first game at the New Plough Lane given Wenger is on his…[Read more]

Maybe we have a quota against the Cods?

What to you say when you have nothing to add? Maybe just “Yay”!.

I just saw a league table that places our Gaffer as the 5th longest serving manager in the four top leagues in England. This surprised me. No job security in that business. He hasn’t done too badly overall, especially in comparison to many of the sad-sack managers of other teams. In our thinking of what the Gaffer needs to do next season to build…[Read more]

Are we MK in disguise? Both won 11, though we are slightly more likely to draw than lose. Both scoring about the same for, both conceding exactly the same against. Both next to each other on the table. Honestly, if we are going to be so similar, then let’s just merge and get it all over with. I have this feeling that the (long lost art of)…[Read more]

Did anyone ever really believe we were heading towards the relegation dogfight? There has been no indication that our mid-table mediocrity was going in that trajectory. Anyone would think that the journalists barred from Spicer’s briefings were suddenly bored enough to cross the Pond and hype up stories of Wimbledon doom and gloom. The 50-51…[Read more]

Aha – are we now hearing the latest sproutings of a more widespread discontent with the Gaffer? The last time we had such a germination was about one and a half years ago. Clearly we need some new potting mixture upfront. Taylor appears to be a liability and Poleon was fortunate enough to have a purple patch upon gaining a first team place, but…[Read more]
