a win is a win .. good to see Morgan and Jaiyesimi having good ones .. however, we need a new goalkeeper next season if we have ambitions of getting anywhere near promotion .. good that Inniss is getting the full 90 and a nice calm goal from Washington .. all in all am 6.5/10 performance0

MacGillivray: dropped a doddle for the first goal, kicking was ropey and flapped again 2nd half - worst game for us so far
Clare: steady
Inniss: steady with ropey passing
Famewo: shaky with very ropey passing
Dobson: industrious, energetic and ever better passing - P.O.S in the making
Matthews: steady, untroubled
Gilbey: anonymous first half, decent 2nd
Morgan: mostly pretty good, trying too hard perhaps towards the end
Aneke: never showed up sulky disinterested and inept
Washington: trojan, we're so much poorer without him
Jaiyesimi: another day he'd have got a red, after that his Charlton game yet, the.pass.of.the.season - more please
CBT n/a
Burstow contributed more in his brief cameo than Chuks bothered
Fraser n/a
Ref: best for ages
Wombles: they're pony at the moment, easy to see why their recent results are so shabby, both goals only came from Charlton errors aside from that they had one shot MacG had to deal with

Look what happened in the game he missed.
Not replacing him in the summer was more costly than not sacking Adkins sooner.
If Aneke hadn't won that header ;DJ can't make that pass.
Chuks was a tad out of salts yesterday but a great signing for 300k. He is good at this level and we do need a target man in League 1. Pleased I went ape when Washington was wasted on the wing under Adkins. Conor has more chance of scoring in a two up front with Chuks or Stockley.
Two players up front attacking the box central is paramount in the iffy 3rd tier.
I thought that was obvious at Cafc but others get too excited about the myriad of permutations. Morgan and Gilbey have flaws but their energy will really help Fraser.
Football stopped being a 11 a side game decades ago.
Dobson is first name down as defensive midfielder but will be interesting calls by JJ as the season move on with the other midfield options.0 -
If y’all wanna know what’s going on with the attendance figures, you just need to buy Voice of the Valley.
I ain’t gonna spill the beans here - shell out, you tightarses - but based on what I have read there, I can assert with confidence that yesterdays real attendance was just shy of 15k, and that the reasons why they are inflated are, as usual, rather boring. And 15k for a mid table L1 game with modest away turnout, is IMO pretty decent.
Y’all welcome14 -

Yes, Aneke was marking a different player.1

On attendances, is Sandgaard inflating the crowd to help attract a buyer or business partner? Embarrassing seeing these numbers in a half full stadium.0 -

A slightly chaotic game, with a few moments of real class punctuating some very poor defending and uninspiring play. Ultimately, however, we deserved the win and all that matters are the three points that move us into the calm waters of mid-table. A very important result, with 5 tough games coming up, including trips to Bolton, Wigan and Wednesday.
Both of Wimbledon's goals came from uncharacteristic defensive errors, although the second was, in fairness, a good headed finish. Our inability to put the game to bed in the second half made for a nervous finish against a dogged, if somewhat limited, Wimbledon side.
DJ had an outstanding game after his early introduction from the bench and his pass to Washington for our second was right up there with Lee’s against Plymouth as assist of the season. Inniss was, as ever, a real threat from Albie’s set plays and once we get Stockley back, we should be as good as anyone in the division in this important aspect of the game.
Clare and Dobson continued their consistently fine form and Morgan and Washington also played well. Aneke looked off the pace and fatigued towards the end and I expect that he’ll be joining Ryan Inniss on the bench on Tuesday. A shame because Ryan really is a potent offensive weapon, with a goal and a couple of assists in his last 4 games. We’ll certainly miss his intimidating presence, as teams really struggle to handle him.
A pretty strong bench yesterday, which is important, given that many of those players, as well as John and Castillo, are going to be needed over the next month or two. At least we have some depth and options, which not all teams in this division possess. Let's hope that Corey-Blackett-Taylor will be fit again soon and that we see Stockley and JFC back in action before the end of the season on 30 April.9 -

If it just doesn't work for us, I assume that's because we never got the right players for it to work? In our 2 best patchs last season we played some sort of 433 hybrid.
As you rightly say its about getting players between the posts in the box. When you play 4231/433 you should always have at least 3 players in the box from a cross. The fact we played it badly this season doesn't make it a bad system.

Aneke unsettles defences even when he isn't having his best game.11

Sounds like a fun one to watch.
What's JJ's record in league since taking over?0 -
Apologes if I am incorrect, but I think it is 1.9 PPG (rounding up) since taking over which is automatic promotion form. Sadly, we were clear in the relegation places when Adkins left us. Jacko is going to need to step up from this already decent record if we are to make the play offs.0

Dont get the "Red Card" possibility for DJ,I had a very clear view,although his foot was a bit high,the contact was made with the side of his leg after his foot had connected with nothing.Only the dying swan act by the Wimbledon player,made the whole situation look serious.

Yes I think you are correct but wasn't a great look for big Ryan Inniss either when it just went over his head as he couldn't move his feet quick enough. (I'm a big fan of Ryan but mistakes are made)2 -

Watch the highlights. Clare was marking the scorer, but the Wimbledon player lurking in an offside position before the free kick ran straight into Clare, leaving Heneghan free. Aneke was marking someone else.1
