Wimbledon have a proper season-long relegation scrap ahead of them. Absolutely no goals in the side at all and they can dominate games like this evening’s at Southend for large periods but if they concede first they’re beaten.
There are simply no finishers in the squad, or at least none on form. They ended the game tonight bringing on a centre-half only just back from injury for the last ten minutes and sticking him up front as target man which is emblematic of their desperation.
The one hope I have is that Harry Forrester looks to have something about him and if they get him starting and seeing a decent amount of the ball he will create or score goals. It’s a slim hope though and only based on a few cameo sub appearances so could well come to naught...much like The Dons right now.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 26-09-2017, 21:35.

Scunny drew 0-0 at Gillingham and now have their arse firmly planted in the play off sofa.
Best defence in the league with just 3 goals conceded, 7 clean sheets in 10, although we have scored 4 fewer goals than Oldham in 23rd.
Away at relegation favourites Shrewsbury on Saturday. This weekend last season we beat surprise high fliers Bury, who then proceeded to lose their next 20 games or something, and barely survived. Let's hope foorball's the winner on Saturday.

It was more a nod to the disproportionate number of Shrews fans on this thread rightly enjoying their start to the season, but aye, I've learned a lesson about not checking upcoming fixtures before posting.
Reports from last night are that Rovers were generally on top, until we scored. Then we switched off and Shrewsbury were in control 'til the break. Second half could've swung either way going from tweets from fans of each club, but in the end Town nicked it. When things are going for you they're going for you; fair play to Shrewsbury - nice to see a side sticking it to those who tipped them to go down (myself included).
Seeing increasing calls for Darren Ferguson to go among Rovers fans; owing most likely to an extended run of poor home form. As someone who doesn't get to many home games I'm pretty happy with him... though would be happier if we stopped throwing away games in injury time mind.

There are at Ieast 3 Shrewsbury fans commenting on here. It was the same last year but we had much less to rejoice over.

I'm guessing, he said in an attempt to widen the conversation, that we can't be the only ones who've broadly given up on our own club's message boards on account of the arsehole factor.
It can't just be a 'small town' thing, can it?

Plus there's the UKIP stuff too, of course.

There's quite a split between the two main sites. One extols our chairman and quells any dissent against his plans for the new grandstand and associated offices, restaurants and hotel. It's run by someone who is extremely pro-Brent, to the extent he sometimes acts as his chaffeur for away games and gets director box privileges.
The other is a response to the heavy moderation and censure that goes with it on the other site. Many of the posters have been banned from the other board for the slightest criticism of the regime. It's Brent Out and against all but the grandstand part of the planning application.
It spiils across the Facebook page too - also set up as a result of the bannings.
I'm sure you lot aren't interested in the internecine politics of Argyle message boards but it's the important issue for many. The shiteness of the team is just a by-product.

More of the same today, the third game in a row (and the fifteenth time in the last twenty-one league games) that The Dons haven’t scored. Getting a point is at least an improvement on the last two results but Rochdale were wretched and it meant Wimbledon dropped in to the relegation zone.
The game again finished with a centre half up front, a right midfielder at left back and a striker (who scored twenty goals two seasons ago) wide right in a front three. The opening hour’s two most impressive attacking performers were also subbed off by then.
Clearly the club’s financial restrictions and small squad limit the options but this is the first time I’ve heard any significant criticism of Ardley - in terms of recruitment, selection, tactics and substitutions.

Re Shrewsbury. Well I know nothing about Division 3 or Shrewsbury but Paul Hurst was a very good manager for us (Boston) and has got every club he has managed promoted. Given that, I was more surprised they were tipped for relegation pre-season than that they are doing so well now. Hope I don't jinx things for you...
