Just been down to the ground to try and get into the club shop. Can confirm it’s not bad weather at all, a bit cold, but nowhere near our top ten worst. We’ve played in far colder conditions, with worse snow and ice, and still gone ahead.
Macclesfield at home. Dagenham & Redbridge at home. Supporters clearing snow. Minus five against Pompey in the FA Cup last year.
We hardly ever call games off, so I’m not sure why anyone thought this one would be. By Wycombe standards, today’s a six-pointer. Should be winning, heart says win, head says draw.
Lowry needs minutes, he’s our most naturally talented player. His decision-making will only improve with game time and age. With Westy injured, Abbott, Scowen and Hendo all out, and Leahy carrying a niggle, there’s never been a better chance for him to start today.
Wimbledon are super direct and in poor form so I suspect will try and disrupt the game and turn it into a battle where possible. Probably a sensible ploy for any team given how weak we are in any sort of physical contest.
That sort of game might be a sensible one in which to give Fink a start.
I’ve seen at most half of the games in which Fink has featured.
However, other than an admittedly very well-taken header v Gills, where he outmuscled a defender, I’ve seen no evidence that he is either suited to or inclined towards physical battling.
What I have seen has been mostly half-arsed loping around the pitch, refusal to press or chase lost causes…which I can’t imagine goes down well with Duff.
I think the polite term for such a style is generally “languid”. Other less polite terms are also available.
Anyone else watching the Bolton match. Just put it on and it’s not looking good for the Whites. Commentator is one of those you dread having to listen to. Epitome of monotonous.
