And they talk about us as the gift that keeps on giving.. They've very recently tied down their current manager by offering an extended contract keeping him there until 2020. That alone is a pure comedy gold moment.

Historically, apart from sliding through the leagues in consecutive seasons then going bust and having to reform as a PLC. Just need Lord Guernsey to pull the plug on them and we can all watch them flushed away like a turd down the u bend. My little glass of sherry at midnight tonight is a toast to them.. Thanks guys happy 2017..

Blimey!  Posh bloke on a forum!

I reckon we will get the win. Our home form is right up there with anyone else in the country and the lads should be feeling confident after Monday's win.

Harrison for Gaffney would be my only change.

Good shout 👏👏

Fecking Taylor? What the hell has he done to deserve a place in the starting 11?

Not much really. Only 64 goals in 126 games.

Hoping Billy goes on a run of form like last season, hopefully he scores again today. Hope Harrison takes his chance too.

I wouldn't have dropped Gaf for Ellis I think Gaf is a better supporting player for Taylor particularly against better opposition but other than that I'm delighted we're going with wingers again.
Wimbledon are a decent side and this will be a tougher test but if we play as well as we can we can still get three or 4 today.

"Our forward-thinking players have done well and hopefully that continues. We want a few more clean sheets and we are working hard on that. It is still important to strike the right balance because we are in an entertainment business."

"I was very tempted to name an unchanged line-up. But we are playing a team from the land of the giants and I just felt that Ellis Harrison is very good at defending in set-piece situations. That swayed my judgement on that one but Rory will come back in to contention when we got to Charlton on Monday."

"They are big and strong but they can also a good football team as well. They have good attributes and good players. It would be disrespectful to say that they are just a ‘big boot’ team but they have a number of big lads and are good at set plays both for and against. We have to be aware of that."

DC is right though in choosing Harrison over Gaffney for defensive duties against a big Wimbledon, Gaffney is poor defending set pieces and has cost us a few goals. I also think Harrison's pace will be more of a threat given the opposition, we will see!
