Wimbledon vs Bolton: Match Thread

I want us to be party poopers OM but not with just a draw but with a win. I suspect if that happens though it will be another 1-0 backs to the wall nail biter because for all the good signings we’ve made, I still don’t believe we’ve fixed the attack to the extent that we can expect comfortable wins, even at home. There’s still time left in the window of course and if IE can find a home for one or two of our fringe players or possibly loans for Darcy and Politic, it will maybe allow us to bring in a young loanee from a PL or Championship club.

As for today, I expect him to revert to Gillo between the sticks and Rico and Baps in centre defence in view of the likely direct and physical way that Wimbledon will play. I also expect Lee instead of Sheehan alongside MJ and probably also a start for Baka instead of Doyle, who hasn’t looked fit and doesn’t have the physicality despite his hard work rate. One thing I don’t want to see is Delf’s name anywhere in the squad after his usual inept performance against Barnsley. I think it’s time the old pals act was shelved on that one and in fact if possible I’d like to see Delf loaned out or moved on because we now have much better than him with the signings of Sheehan and Kachunga. I expect another draw today so I’ll go for 1-1 but I still hope we might sneak it and spoil the Wombles party.

What’s with all this negativity again?



We played well against MK Dons and also against Barnsley. I agree that we didn’t look much like scoring against Barnsley but they are a league above and we certainly deserved to win.

I will be amazed if your team forecast is right, Whites.

I agree that Gilks will play but I would think that Johnston is a certainty so maybe Baptiste may drop out. There is no chance that Sheehan will be dropped. Bakayoko will start but alongside Doyle.

I think the team will be as the MK Dons team with the exception of Santos in, probably instead of Baptiste.



I am confident that we can put on another of our solid away 1-0 wins.

looks pretty solid to me

I think Johnson is a must. He seems like a Rolls Royce defender as they say.

Suspect too that we will see a back 3 with those wing backs. Though Jones or Brockbank are not wing backs. But I dont think we should see that today.

I don’t at all disagree on the RR bit OM and on the ground I’d have a left footed Johnson every day but I just think today may be a bombardment and against both MK and Barnsley, Johnson won few headers so in my opinion I’d go with Baps today but if it is Johnson, maybe his other attributes might make up for it. He’s obviously the future and if he is to make it then he’s going to have to learn how to operate aerially but Brentford showed Arsenals aerial weakness at the back yesterday and how much it counts.

As I thought, IE has gone with Baps and Rico to counter the Dons aerial threat, which I think makes sense but I’d expect to see Johnson at some point in the second half when we’ve weathered the storm and likewise Lee for Sheehan assuming no forced changes. Looks a lovely day to spoil someone’s party!! 😊

Bloody big shame that, but not too downhearted
Scoring 3 away should be yielding 3 points and I’m sure once Evatt has the back 3 4 5 sorted out, we’ll have more wins than draws on the board

Still not enough threat up front and I’d love to see that Elanga kid as a 2 up top, that would worry the L1 defences

Onto the next game
