One shot on target & one corner against this lot ....simply not good enough.
Thank god I didn't go & freeze my nuts off.

now Stevenage winning

Now Stevenage equalise !

C'Mon JB let's have some proactive substitutions.......gosh, DWP must be shocking in training, why don't Stoke call him back

Well what poor defending ....opportunities to block or clear .....and Kingy surely should have got across to the shot.

[Appéré]

Can't see any other choice.....

Appéré

(well apart the views from Tony & John)

[match day programme]

And at least the U's still do a good match day programme....& even more, it's usually free!

Well we must go there as underdogs.... a couple of draws lately at home which seems a likely result, with  the Gills the last to win there, but then they actually recruited well in January.

Things can only get better....can't they

At least it should be a good stop off at Sudbury with our sold-out TeynAwayDays trip.

I think he was "Johnny on the spot". He'd done well at non-league Brackley and with our younger players. I think its called natural progression. He hasn't done badly but he is at a turning point. The rest of the season is going to be interesting.

Well I think he was the cheap option.

Now is the time for JB to show his strength, his tactics, his substitutions & his nerve, his lack of experience ?
 
Turning on the fans never ends well....I am sure he realises that after Wimbledon & didn't repeat after the Grimsby debacle.

Who is really responsible for the recruitment?

What effect does CC have on matters ? I do hold him in high regard .

Come on now his the time for clear heads.....sadly our current form doesn't bode well....let's see after Colchester....who must be favourites., but lose this and the play-offs will be disappearing, but still a lot to play for.

I did vote for Play-offs as the likely outcome.

COYC....are we up for this ?

[Lintott]

Lintott shines out from the gloom.

[FOXY.]

FOXY......is becoming absolutely vital after previously somewhat a fringe player.....hope the injury is not serious.

They could play all night...no chance of a goal

A bright start start but ...what a load of cr@p !

Beware, tonight, I was surprised to read that AFC Wimbledon are the " dirtiest" team in the league ( as per The Chronic') racking up 64 yellows & 2 Reds..... recording 74 points ......followed by Barrow & Orient.

We currently rack -up in 7th place with 60 pts.

Amazingly only Stevenage & Hartlepool ( good ol' Keith) remain the only sides not have been red carded. Obviously these Stats don't include the bl00dy Managers.

Automatic: 
              I think it is possible if the new guys come good and quick & perhaps someone could kidnap JB or just talk to him .....because unless they get game time & not 20 minutes or less then we are going to continue to beshort of goals.

 And as for his tactics/ style of play & substitutions, well, beyond belief. I can't fault his passion ....but no plan B & delayed response is clear most games.

Our position in a current form table is lamentable.

Sammy has gone off the boil, The Postman at left back is beyond stupid & we now seem to be dropping bollox to give teams a head start.....virtually everyone can see it , bar Jon.Oh & how could I not mention Appere .........how does he seem to please so many fans.All he does is run around ineffectively , never wins a header & plain & simple hasn't got a goal in him....talk about a false number 9. Effort full marks ...contribution negligible, the centre halves must be licking their lips at the prospect of marking him.

Don't say look at our position because that is down to our form of long ago.

We need a shake up before more teams overtake us .....it's not too late.....starting tomorrow. Freshen it up. 

[Fox]

Fox last gasp, how did that go in, the way the net sagged, looked like the side netting............just pips Clare-t Balding.

Carlisle have Mansfield, Stevenage, Cobblers, Stockport and Salford at home and Swindon, Bradford and Orient away.
Salford have Swindon and Orient at home and Mansfield ,Stevenage and Stockport away.
We have Stevenage, Mansfield and Bradford at home and only Carlisle away.
As I see it we are in the best position of the 3 teams, we were picking up points earlier in the season with a weakened squad so it is time to grasp the nettle and hope we don't get get stung.

Trouble with that is ....we seem so much better AWAY from home......when in fact records are identical ...with just more goals scored away.

Sowerby.

Walsall away he was dreadful got run ragged agin I’m afraid, just not a defender.

It was presumably no surprise either with Haynes' former Manager now in charge at Walsall ....they just targeted him as the weak link from the get-go....with an aerial bombardment that he just couldn't deal with.
