Just on the way back now. It was a really frustrating match, we started with a high tempo for the first 15 minutes but didn't have a real clear cut chance. Wimbledon go down the other end of the pitch and score with their first shot, that smug prick Wagstaff to put the icing on the cake unfortunately.
Once Wimbledon scored you could see it being a 1-0 to Wombles FT scoreline because we're so toothless upfront. Hanlan for all his good work midweek in the FA Cup just hasn't got the confidence to perform consistently and score goals, he had about three good chances that he hit over the bar, not even on target.
On today's performance I was not at all impressed with Evans tactics. I was baffled when O'Keefe came off he brought on O'Connor who is naturally a defender when we're chasing an equaliser and Wimbledon were there for the taking. In the second half it become more and more clear the current set of players on the pitch weren't gonna do anything.
Evans and Raynor stood there like tweddle dumb and tweddle dee looking clueless while we had corner after corner which hit the first man. On the rare occasions we did win headers in their box the heading ability from our lads was shocking flying over the bar each time.
Evans should have brought on someone more create than O'Connor as the first sub and the second and third subs should have come with about 25 maybe even 30 minutes to go not leaving them until the last few minutes, it was a joke and everyone around me could see it apart from Evans.
Ben Pringle got sent off late on and while not defending a red card I'm sure he was just very frustrated not to be brought on much earlier.
Overall after feeling promising signs at home to Lincoln my optimism got crashing back down to earth today vs Wimbledon.
