Super U's to make the Dons an offer they can't refuse on Saturday afternoon 15:53 - Feb 21 with 1220 views

AFC Wimbledon are in Town this Saturday and this will provide another opportunity for the U’s to defeat a top seven team.

Walsall 31 63
Wimbledon 31 56
Doncaster 32 55
Notts County 31 54
Bradford 31 54
PV 30 52
Crewe 32 49
----------------
Salford 31 48
Grimsby 31 48
Chesterfield 30 42
COL U 31 42

Colchester weather on Saturday will be 12 degrees Celsius, breezy and 77% precipitation. None of which is good news for the surface of the pitch.
At home it will be dry and 10 degrees but breezy.

15 games to play and we are probably looking at 30 more points to secure a top seven position. 10 more victories or equivalent will garner 72 points which should be enough.

Wimbledon H
MK Dons A
Chesterfield H
Cheltenham A
PV H
Fleetwood H
Bradford A
Grimsby H
Gillingham A
Notts Co H
Newport A
Crewe H
Doncaster A
Salford A
Barrow H

Johnny Jackson brings his Dons to the JCS having already lost in the Vertu Motors trophy after defeating us 4-2 on the opening game of the season.

It will be like an old boys reunion with Owen Goodman, Riley Harbottle, John Joe O’Toole and Alastair Smith in the Wimbledon ranks. They will also have about 1200 supporters to swell a likely 6,000 crowd.

Two tough games on the road elicited two draws but we should have had more at both Carlisle and at Notts County.

DC needs to show more adventure in his line ups. I agree with the first 7 players. Macey, Egbo, Kells, Flanagan, Iandolo and McDonnell and Bishop.

I also agree with Payne and Edwards but whilst DC loves Anderson I would like to see Thorn or Gordon. In fairness Thorn is probably injured and Samson Tovide is still two weeks away from a welcome return.

Then we have the thorny issue (no pun intended) of Simpson and Taylor. Simpson started against Notts County and should have scored twice in the first half but fluffed his lines he then scored the equaliser by being in the right place at the right time. He certainly worked hard and just when I thought DC would keep him on when Taylor arrived he was withdrawn.

Whether DC likes it or not when Samson is fit he must play two up top. Whether that is Taylor and Tovide or Simpson and Tovide or Taylor remains to be seen.

Of course, we may have Anthony Scully available and Kyreece Lisbie or Ken Aboh all of whom should be considered.

So, DC will likely start with:

Macey

Egbo Kells Flanagan Iandolo

McDonnell Bishop

Anderson Payne Edwards

Simpson

Subs;
Smith, KVY, Aboh, Read, Gordon, Tucker, Taylor

We owe Wimbledon after the opening day and I expect to see a 3-1 home victory with Taylor on the scoresheet and possibly Simpson and Jack Payne (long overdue free kick).

Enjoy the game. A decent crowd and three more home points.

A game we really should have won. Dominant in the first half only to concede in the Wombles only attack. More frustration in the second half, but we score once DC goes two up front with Tovide paired with Taylor. Funny that…….
