Are they?

Last 5 games.

Wycombe 1-2 Wimbledon
Wimbledon 2-1 Plymouth
Wimbledon 0-0 Blackpool
Portsmouth 2-1 Wimbledon
Fleetwood 2-3 Wimbledon (FA Cup)

That's 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches.

If that's struggling bad I wish we had some of that.

Kelly for Doyle, Bright for Shipley. The latter may seem rash or harsh on Shipley, but if he’s an attacking winger he needs to start; we’re at home, we need a win to stay around the play offs and, most importantly, we look so much better when we actually attack.

I’ll be frustrated if he drops Hiwula for Bright.

2-0 City, Hiwula, Thomas.

I still stand by my team selection and proposed strategy, but I’m actually feeling more optimistic today (no idea why), so I’m changing my prediction to 3-0, with Willis to score the third.

And no, I haven’t started drinking yet, I’m just hopeful MR remembers last year when we needed results and he released the shackles which concluded in proving an attacking mentality is the best way for us to progress. I’d argue that even more so this year, with a stronger defence (better RB), an improved GK and more attack minded and technically gifted players ahead of them.

ACL replacement, some cartilage repair and then they broke my leg to straighten some curvature that had developed because of the previous injuries. Basically they cut through 3/4s of my shin bone, straightened the leg and then screwed in a bone graft from my hip into the gap the straightening left and finally holding it in place with a metal plate.

Not gonna pretend it doesn't hurt!

OUCH!!!! I hope it all works out well for you mate.

No Ogogo or Brown in the squad again, wouldn’t be surprised if both are sold this month.

Good team, other than McCallum, that’s the strongest team we have.

All signs point to MR sending us out to attack, let’s hope he doesn’t put out such an attacking team and then restrict them.

Really excited by that team, so much movement, pace and technical ability.

The only worry is a completely new left side (assuming Bright is starting there).

3-0 City.

Hopefully we need to free up wages and get rid of the passengers

Yes and both are on a decent wage for this level.

I highly doubt they'd be sold in this window. We'll probably have better luck moving them on in the summer.

Hopefully someone desperate trying to avoid relegation comes in for them looking for a few wise heads

I think even then they'll only go out on loan until the end of the season. Ogogo's contract will be worth hundreds of thousands. There's a slim chance of a club paying that, even a desperate one.

Did they both sign long term deals?

If both players leave, I'd love to know who was responsible for bringing them in.

The irony is that they are both 'finished articles'... something we get told we lack by MR after a loss!

Worried about the lack of left back on the bench. Maybe Shipley could cover though.

Hope we're not going to be sitting back for a 0-0 today! Looks like Wimbledon are only playing 1 up front so looks like we'll have to work to break them down which we've struggled with.

Need to get at them from the whistle and get them worried.

I get the impression they both signed for us for financial reasons.

No he's right footed. Sterling and Shipley can both play there if needed.

Sterling could swap to left back with grimmer on the bench or bring on Davies as centre back move Willis to right back and sterling to left so not too concerned
