If we continue to provide zilch service for the forwards then it will make little difference if Stevens returns or indeed if we had Haaland.

CW would you let me know what you think of that film please? Interested in it but won’t give Amazon any money to watch it.

Spit-not me, going to watch a film about General de Gaulle instead

New episode of The Womble Coefficient pod now out. A special/bumper episode with Ali Maxwell from Not The Top 20. Should be a good listen, I think! [Link]

We can have him back for the franchise game then

Doncaster away?

Surrey Bob, why would we want to avoid staying out of the bottom 4? 😁

Someone spoke to Stevens last week and he reckoned that he'd be ready for Doncaster.

I can’t see Walton & Hersham existing in their current guise for many more seasons [Link]

As for Bishop, it does appear that our assessment of him before we signed him fell quite short

TF - thanks for heads up re: link. Suitably updated.

REPD - "maybe Stevens will find it harder to get back in the squad now?" Is the guy even near the training paddock? Not sure why, but I don't expect to see him play for us before the end of 2026.

Suppose carshalton at Sutton united today for his football fix?

Let's not be ungracious, wigan allowed us to stay up last season, we mugged them again. My Manchester mate went as a mutual supporter yesterday and said he nearly fell asleep in the first half and the san Miguel in the west stand was appalling. He left just before we scored so he could go and watch man united in the pub.:-)

The subs were great but there was a lull period shortly after they came on (understandable after making multiple subs at once.)

Am sure there have been games when we have missed chances and ended up with nothing. I wouldn't worry about Wigan's missed chances. We were way better than them after the subs anyway.

We can start any improvement with a dismantling of the midfield. Wigan just waltzed through us in the first half and we created absolutely nothing for the forwards.

Looks like a new Zenobia to dive.

Morning all. SW19 proper report on beating Wigan now up - [Link]

Pleased with the win obvs but agree with Bob because that game would have been out of sight if Wigan strikers could finish from three yards out unpressured.

My thoughts on our performance for about 90% of the game against Wigan is in accord with how the Wigan fans saw our performance - collectively best described succinctly with two words "F****** S***"

Yeah Im drinking the coolade more this season.

Timmy is gullible:-)

Nice. Feels like most players who leave have great things to say about club fans vibe etc - I know a lot of clubs have similar, but positive to read, nonetheless!

“I know it's been obvious for a while that I wouldn't be returning to Plough Lane this season, but it would feel wrong to not say some sort of goodbye. The off season can be a weird time when you're not at a club, you never quite know where you'll be or when you'll get there. After a couple of months had passed it seemed right to wait until Eknew both of those things, before saying goodbye. Last season was tough at times, I broke 2 ribs in August, required surgery on a rotation fracture in my finger in October, and in April needed 9 stitches in a wound to my knee, which became infected and needed a weeks worth of IV antibiotics. When I did miss games, I can promise it wasn't for a lack of trying. Probably the opposite. Sticking my head in stupid places and all that. I loved every second of my time at Wimbledon, genuinely. I made friends for life, and my relationship with the fans is something I will cherish. That day at Wembley will always be one of the best days of my life. You Dons.”
