    Ricoh Parking For Wimbledon two passes left

    This parking at Wimbledon. Is it Underground? Overground? And is Wombling free?

    Interesting that Westbrooke is anchoring that midfield 3.

    Burge 6 Sterling 6 Willis 6 Hyam 7 Mason 5 Doyle 4 Bayliss 5 Shipley 5 Thomas 6 Chaplin 6 Hiwula 5 JCH 6 Ref 3 - Awful from the off. Can see why he's only reffed 3 games this season. Robins 5 - Don't think we deliberately set out to be negative today but his selection of Doyle neutered us.

    Dunno what he was thinking starting Doyle while retaining Hiwula and Chaplin as the strikers. He undermines the whole teams ability to attack by dragging all our attacking players deep. Not a coincidence that all our attacking players simultaneously had ineffectual games. Gave ourselves 20...

    That one doesn't count for Chaplin though, came from a deflection and a keeper fumble. Still 1 in 10.

    Not much on the bench to change this up in the areas we need to. I'd still be tempted to bring Davies on and put Hyam to defensive midfield at HT. Chaplin out to the left and JCH up with Hiwula after 60. Sky Blues Xl: Lee Burge (GK), Dujon Sterling, Jordan Willis, Dom Hyam, Brandon Mason...

    The whole team, not just Chaplin. We just notice him more because he's tiny and supposed to be up front.

    A symptom of where he's having to play again - too much defensive work from him. His heat map must be midway in his own half - getting on the ball far too deeply again

    Same issues as always when Doyle is in there. Badly missing the easy pass and composure that Kelly always offers when we regain possession and Doyle doesn't win the ball off Scunthorpe, having to wait til they make a mistake to pick up the scraps. Then too many long balls or panicked clearances...

    This ref is another one who has barely reffed all season. 3 games. Don't get it.

    Didn't Hammill do some time for assaulting a female paramedic or have I invented that?

    It might not be as bad as we fear, we have a lot more positive intent as a team since Doyle last started. Just concerned over how much ball we will win in midfield away from home.

    Chaplin Move Completed

    Never understand why fans blame the player for the price his club have paid for him.

    Declan Drysdale

    Can't believe we've signed James Acaster.

    Burge, Willis and Davies

    Bit harsh. Well on course for his 3rd consecutive season of 40+ matches. 200 first team matches at the age of 24. Hyam is 23 and has less than half of that.

    Burge, Willis and Davies

    Haven't seen Willis taking any shit on here for a couple of years. I did start a thread last year on one particular area I'd like to see him improve but it was largely taken as a criticism when it really wasn't meant that way - I could go through our whole team and do the same and am a firm...

    Do you think the extent of the Kelly injury may affect that?
