Oh my. What a s**t match. We were outclassed, outmuscled and outfought in every department.
Tranmere wanted it more. Far far more. Granted, we have injuries - Waggy, Woody & Will all walk into this side if fit. Mystified that Pinnock still continues to command a starting place. To say he's woeful is an understatement. Guinness Walker was mugged so many times down the left by their winger that I lost count. Mcloughlin is not a right wing back. Nor is O'Neill a centre half. Nothing went through our midfield. Equally mystified that Delaney can't get a start when he was superb at Bolton and continues to impress. The only moments of class were from Forss and Sanders, not coincidentally our players! Alas, nobody was on the end of their cutbacks ( but I bet Osew would've been). Pinnock subbed on about 75 minutes, 74 minutes too late. Wood given far too little time to make an impact . Trott made a world class save first half and was the shining light in a turd-infested match - only he kept the score down below 4-0. We are still shockingly frail at the back, being cut open almost at will. I gave the side a thumbs down at the end, and waved goodbye to Forss as I suspect I won't see him in a Dons shirt again.
However, I was proud to have both my kids at a Wimbledon match for the first time! Proud Dad moment. I feel very sorry for the folks who travelled a very long way and spend a big chunk of their hard-earned to watch that shower of s**te. That was NOT the kind of performance any of us expect from a Wimbledon side. To be outplayed is fair enough, but out-battled is just not on. Merry Christmas to one and all.
On an aside, Tranmere Rovers are a friendly club and I sincerely hope both sides will be plying their trade in League 1 next season.
