I have never been a fan of Omar as his game was fouling and falling over. Recently he has been terrific and the second half yesterday above even that. He worked so hard, did not dive or foul and gave their dreadful defense something to worry about. Why has it taken so long to get this version? The player himself or the management?

Hope Omar is ok.

Pretty sure Bass loves Wimbledon. He probably wanted us to win and tried his best to help within reason. Not his fault we couldn't finish it.

Italy were knocked out by North Macedonia last time around

Twice they miscued on edge of box and we failed to score - I could hear the clown car starting up - but the back pass when their keeper slipped over and ball rolled just past the post was when it should have come trundling onto the pitch.

Wales & NorIron be drawn with Italy, doesn't give them much chance

Ryan Johnson not included in the NI squad which is good for us so he can play at Stockport

Don't think they would do that during a game and, even if they did, JJ wouldn't then put him on ...

Maybe the police officers were bringing some bad news to Omar which is why he was crying

a4e you could be right, maybe a good time for some supporters to remember our players have other things going on in their lives and that the 90 minutes on the pitch is just one part of it

Karen - I think you’re right, and I suspect that it may be to do with things that are happening in Lebanon right now, but I’d rather not suggest what the precise issue might be…

Not sure how we didn't win that game. Bar a 10-15 min spell we ripped them apart.

D O - agree with MOTM. Everyone round me either laughed or breathed a gulp of surprise when it was announced

Omar appeared to be crying as he went off the field, hope he is ok

Those stats actually say it all. Whilst when they were doing good they were very good they actually created very few chances and had very few real shots. We actually had way more chances. And some very good ones we should have put away.

Bishop must be fitter now to be on the bench so I don’t know we need to worry about JM. We already knew this isn’t his level but he’s done a decent job covering. Some good saves. He did catch the flappy flaps from their defence at one point and retreats too much on back passes. But he makes the saves that he should and his kicking is much better than it was previously.

Anyone know why two police officers appeared from the tunnel just after half time…?

It’ll be good for Joe’s confidence and we need him confident right now.

Agree about Johnson for MotM, Dons O. McDonnell strange choice, but he did make some crucial saves, and wasn't at fault for the goal.

Looking at the stats. Total touches inside the opposition box: Wim 40 Pet 13. Shots: Wim 24 Pet 10. Successful final third passes: Wim 96 Pet 47. Total crosses: Wim 31 Pet 6. Corners: Wim 11 Pet 2. And we hit the post twice.

Were the match sponsors Wimbledon School for the Blind? How anyone could pick McDonnell as MotM is beyond me. Johnson head and shoulders above the rest, got the goal and saved a certain goal with a last ditch block.
