Sorry to be a doom monger, but I think we will lose today. Obviously I hope not, but it'll be typical of a Wimbledon team to lose the 3 games v the bottom 3 and then win v Bolton.

Blimy you get to keep your lids on bottles at Millwall

Exiled - likewise, quite surprised that we are playing a very similar team except Hippolyte in for Maycock. Would have liked to seen Bugiel in for Stevens. I feel Stevens is struggling. May click today.

6mdm there’s a warmth in these here parts it’s just different.

Kite - when I lived for a year in Sydney, the greatest danger in the waters at Bondi were the rip currents and the box jellyfish… 🪼😲

6M - do you mean to say that it’s worse than Gillingham…? 👀😯

Two new signings and both on the bench. Why does he keep picking the same team and expecting something different to happen ? Why not start the pair of them and see if they can have an impact?

We're playing in green.

It's turned into a decent day weather-wise. A bit cloudy but tge sun's out and it isn't too cold.

Careful what you look for TF with regard to local culture. I ran out of towpath so have been exploring Rotherham and the surrounding area inland. Deary me. Deprived is an understatement. There is a high immigrant population and it is very run down. Shame.

I'm pumping for a two clear goals win today, just got that feeling that the atmosphere of last week has opened a door to relieve the pressure on the team and they'll come good.

Hope we give it a bit of a go today. Our away form isn't too bad, seem to score quite freely so stick to what works.

It’s shite defence vs shite attack today Tommy - they’ve conceded 15 goals in their last 6 games (2.5 goals per game) and we’ve scored an equally impressive 4 goals in our last 6 games so it’s got 0-0 written all over it but we know that there’s always someone willing to fuck up when we’re in these phases.

Four shark attacks in 48 hours around Sydney. Has someone been watching Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

Rotherham are averaging conceding 3 goals per game in recent games losing them all.

That’s a Wetherspoons, Spit. I don’t do Wetherspoons on away trips as whilst they definitely provide a decent consumer option they don’t give me an insight into the underlying local culture and that’s what I seek.

Get yourself to The Bluecoat, Guinness £2.89. Oakham Bishops farewell £2.10

£3.35 for a pint of Cruzcampo.

Tbh Im suprised the press hasn’t picked up on any of our travails- they’re all over us when we’re chatting shite about let’s just have a beer, but nothing probing ever seems to come out

6M - yes, I think that Lewington was colloquially known as “the ginger fingered one” 😂

Al,it's been a closed shop,in the know for years, . I'm sure everything will come out into the open when it's too late. Bit like the panic money shortfall for the ground build..

Silk - the alternative was almost certainly sanctions on us from the FA so avoidng them seems a major win for 'mediation'.

Totally agree with your view on mediation Silk. All because we didn’t put their name on our scoreboard. Something that’s been done recently at a number of other games in higher divisions.

Spit, I wasn't implying that the mediation was high on the agenda, but mearly that there's so much, owners, are kept out of the loop. So much investment in keeping the boards looking to a type (of person) rather than what outsider owners have to offer. This closed door approach enhances mis-trust[sic] it elevates people to adapt a false sense of importance and it gets on the tit's of those exposing the emperor's new clothes for what they are.

Silk - do you mean Buffalo Bills? Maybe they are owned by John Galt. At the other end of the spectrum a Bolton fan who likes the Dons too was sat next to me recently and said that the latest owner at the Trotters had worked out that someone on state pension alone could not afford a season ticket so prices were reduced accordingly. (Mind you, they have a big stadium with plenty of seats to fill.)
