Match Thread: AFC Wimbledon v Lincoln City

[NottyImp]

Pleased for edun today whilst i didnt see his goal i thought he had a very decent second half . I actually think hes a decent player and tbf has done thejob well with a few hiccups thrown in

I like him. If he can improve his defensive wirk he will be a diamond.

Ah, depends on definitions. AFC technically a phoenix club?

Both games technically at the same ground but I know exactly what you mean, first win against this version of Wimbledon

Technically but you can hear from the commentary they consider this a continuation of old Wimbledon

Good interview with Tom Hopper and David Kerslake. Shows we’re in safe hands while MA recuperates

Nice to see MA was following the match thread and went with my plan A to switch TJ inside at half time.

I am pleased to say, that my Lucky Lincoln City socks are now seven games seven wins, I often forget to put them on, today I changed at half time, please can people put a reminder for the next time we play.

Good second half performance that. I thought we nullified their aerial threat and created some half chances of our own with Brennan and Grant getting into the box. Scully also impressive. Please to see Hopper bag that winner!

Is that what happened? I noticed that Palmer was nowhere near as threatening second half, but couldn't work out why.

I have a lucky LCFC condom which I re-use regularly.

And i must say how disappointed with how we are now in the new year we are only 12 points ahead of that Sunderland pub team. Heads must roll.

I liked that, but I am not sure why.

 

[Davidimp]

From listening only one team was going to win that for me and that was us and so it proved to be the case.

Actually I unliked it!

Yeah, DK addressed it at half time - after MA had been on the phone by the sounds of things!

He also told them to up the physicality although that's probably not the terminology used in a football changing room.

 

[DonnyImp]

Yep. The Champions elect just thrashed Northampton 0-0.

Another manager change?

It has red and white stripes.

i see Oxford are motoring up the table after a dreadful start to the season. Only 4 points off the play offs. i expect to see them in the mix.

You'd expect their run to continue with upcoming fixtures in their sweet spot but you can see where their problem has been against the top teams - albeit they'll probably fancy playing them at home in better form.

 

[impsimps]

Palmer is still crap despite his goal, no different to when he was with us.
Can we have Woodyard back please, I thought he was their MOM.

Palmer did get a few crucial goals for us when he fancied it. Never knew which one would turn up.

 

[Max Arnold]

It has red and white stripes.

Are they go faster stripes?

Another good win. Good finish from Drewe Broughton MKII as well.

As others have said, Wimbledon were a lot better side than Northampton or Burton and will surely climb the table - although may depend on whether they can keep hold of Pigott.

1-1 at half time was just about a fair scoreline, but in the second half we were the better side, looking sharper than Wimbledon for the first time and the worry was that we wouldn't make the most of the openings we had. As it was, it looked at times as if both sides might give a sloppy goal away, and that's what Wimbledon did.

But a deserved win, and perhaps means that just a point against Peterborough next week wouldn't be a bad result.

I thought Brennan Johnson looked our most dangerous player, but was playing a bit with fire in the second half when not retreating from a free kick after already being booked - although as others have said, the Wimbledon players seemed to get away with it.

Well as Grant has been playing when filling in for Liam Bridcutt in recent games I think it showed today we need him further forward.

Good performances from Hopper and Joe Walsh, who I thought was better than Montsma today, also Tayo Edun - starting the move for the second goal and scoring the first. If I remember right, his goal against Liverpool was also scored with his right foot - not bad for a left-footed player!
