Sandgaard has no class, who’d thought it?

Loads of the posters on here for a start, always come out with the nonsense that Sandgaard meant well. It was always about him and him only, and treated some long standing club people very badly 

Glad to see JJ doing well. Though I personally felt the Charlton job might have been a smidge too soon for him, it obviously wasnt helped by TS and just general shit going on behind the scenes. 

Would love him back at some point for sure. Not before NJ takes us to the premier league promised land though!

Absolutely fantastic interview, Jacko always speaks so well. The Washington thing always blows my mind, a credit to the player too

What happened with Washington?

While Jacko was manager, Connor Washington was negotiating with Charlton about a contract extension, but the club were stalling because they didn’t know who would be manager the next season. Connor told Jacko this. Jacko took this as a red flag from the club, but also as a signal of loyalty from the players (or Connor Washington, at least!)

Thanks

Don't know if they have a lot of injuries at present but tonight's home defeat to Stockport means that Wimbledon have picked up just one point in their last eight matches and are now one place above Exeter who are in the relegation zone.

Wimbledon do have a three point buffer but have a much inferior goal difference to Exeter and have Plymouth (won eight of last 13), Wigan (won last three) and Huddersfield (lost one of last eight) to come. Their saving grace might me that Exeter still have to play Stockport and Bradford (both at home) and Burton (away) but have picked up four points in their last two matches.

I was at the game and the referee was abysmal. As unlikely as I think it is, I can't go back to watching that every week next season.

Stockport's first goal came from a ridiculously soft free kick after Tanto went down. There's no way the ref would have given it if he hadn't given AFC Wimbledon a free kick for a 'foul' in a similar position minutes before where there wasn't even any contact.

The ref then went on to miss a trip and a handball in the Stockport box, both of which were right in front of him.

The worst part was him allowing Stockport's keeper to drop the ball at his feet, waste time, then pick it straight back up again on two separate occasions.

How did Tanto look?  Beginning to think he’s going to go down the route of Ahadme 

They’ve got a lot of injuries at the moment. Them and Exeter have the lowest 2 budgets in the league so either of them staying up would be very impressive

Pretty awful.
League 1 player at the very best.
Doesn't seem able to control the ball first time.

Olaofe had the opportunity to play and the opportunity to score more than the one tap in that he got.
He missed at least 3 one-on-ones, where he hit the keeper every time.
He's just not good enough, even if we were in League One.

Erratic. Any time he found himself in a dangerous position he fluffed it

I had high hopes for him when he signed.  The thing that always frustrated me the most is that I never got the sense he grabbed his opportunity to make himself a regular whenever Jones started him.  

He started the season as a sub, and in those first ten games we were on a high and had a strong approach/gameplan, and his role was impact sub when defenders had tired legs, but apart from the Brum away game, he didn’t really impress when starting.  He was poor against Oxford and Norwich 

I thought he looked quality in his first few appearances. Really wanted it to work out for him but he's shown no improvement and sadly he's not really young enough to still be lacking so much of his game

One or two- ok just one, so ridiculed at the time, but not holding a grudge - saw Tanto's last minute miss versus Orient, in the most important (play-off) game in Stockport's history-  and tried to point out how everyone was getting over-excited with the guy - even though some saw a classy (lucky deflection) back-heel finish in the same game, now we have arrived at this point. Still hopeful he can improve and find a way past the guilt that he must still be carrying from that miss.
