South Stand Food Update 12th Jan [Link]

 For dear jon [Link]

 From fixture list - Monday 12th Jan 7:00pm - West Ham Utd (U21) - Rush Green [Link]

 Wimbledon will take on West Ham United Under-21s at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in the Vertu Trophy Round of 16 on Monday, 12 January at 7pm.

 Are Jersey the new Hereford?

 Is the West Ham U21 game at Rush Green or Plough Lane - our OS has both venues listed in different places ? On the London FA site it has our LSC tie at Woodford on Wednesday 21 January

 Whilst I think Asiimwe is good, I don't think we have improved him during his stay so if I were Charlton I'd be tempted to get him back.

 It’ll be a shame if Asiimwe goes back, I’ve enjoyed his freshness and enthusiasm - he has seemingly embraced his adoptive club ☺️

 Looking at the Charlton forum they reckon Asiimwe will go back as they have injuries

 I reckon Asimwe will go back in January so we’ll be on the look out for a replacement.

 One thing with Asimwe is heccan beat his opposing full back and 9 times out of 10 he puts decents crosses in and nearly always picks out a blue shirt. Only Seddon comes close

 Went to a Chris Rea concert at Wembly Arena years ago. Really great show.

 West Ham Monday 12th Jan 7pm

 The big success for me has been Seddon, arguably better than Tilley. A great signing. Not convinced with Asiimwe, not seen enough of Bauer. Smith - you know what you were going to get, done ok. Bishop steady, nothing better. Hackford shows promise. Orsi awful.

 Surbiton: completely disagree on that. It’s systematic if what is wrong at AFCW

 Mark - as a second choice, he is fine. Like you say, probably cheap and hasn't been a disaster. You would obviously like a number 2 who challenges Bishop a bit more but I would rather money would be spent elsewhere.

 Surbiton : McDonnell ? Really ?

 RIP Chris Rea

 I would say Seddon, Asiimwe, McDonnell, Bauer and getting Smith on a permanent have been good signings. Bishop (mostly cause of the length of his contract), and Hackford have a bit to prove still. Orsi, Hughes and Splatt are the ones that I have been disappointed with. Orsi because I imagine he wasn't cheap and doesn't look up to it, Splatt cause of his injury record and Hughes cause I am not 100% sure if he is real.

 The way we set up ain't great to be a striker that gets no/little service. NOTE,when we were getting lots of crosses in from wide areas we were scoring plenty of goals earlier in the season...

 To be fair to Orsi he was excellent t Crawley as they played to his strengths

 I agree that our recruitment this year seems to not be really as good as in previous years. I wonder, though if this is mainly down to our budget (ie even if you recruit well, if your budget is way below what is needed the players who yet get won't be good enough - basically nobody can do miracles). Given that our financial position is getting worse and the budgets of our competitors in L1 are much higher than they were in L2, that is at least a plausible reason for the apparent decline in standard of recruits.

 Craig Cope gets a lot of plaudits for his recruitment record but this season it has been a bit mixed and when he makes a mistake it is usually when we've paid a fee for somebody and they don't fit into the way we play. Kelly was a significant panic purchase that has not worked out. I've no idea why he thought Orsi would be good enough for us when he wasn't for Burton, who soon realised their error and loaded him out. This followed on from another expensive purchase error of Davidson, albeit that was a Jackson error and he didn’t play him out of position (he was just crap).
