If the loan players aren't good enough to make the starting XI why are they here? :?


Impact subs?

They have most certainly hit the skids of late! What is it, 5 defeats on the bounce? Now 1-0 down to Oldham!

Rovrum doing us a favour, bringing Wimbledon back into the mix, (and NOT buying Ozz!)

Plymouth Argyle 2 Blackburn Rovers 0 :shock: :shock: :shock:

Fleetwood Town 0 Scunthorpe Utd 1

Wigan Athletic 2 Gillingham 0

With the egg chasers, it's Wales 20 Scotland 0 well into the 2nd half.......

Injury break at the Banks's' .... and it isn't Cuvelier !! (Don't worry, it was a Franchisee)

Don't worry folks we have Flanagan on the bench he'll save us! :(

With Baky up front it looks like another goal fest again! Does Whitters owe him money?

Fleetwood Town 1 Scunthorpe Utd 2

Dons' 'keeper being kept busy retrieving the ball from anywhere between the post and the corner flag.........

44 minutes, and our 2nd corner ....... and our 3rd immediately after ...... leading to a Dons' goal kick.

Oh ye of little faith, we have the best hot-shot striker in the division, ask Whitney, Baka never misses the target! :wink:

Well, that must have been an exciting first half, bet the home crowd finding it hard to keep track of all the goals!
Shambles.

0-0 at half time, so we need to score. Now how on earth can we do that??? Is it at all possible that we could utilise a STRIKER currently on the bench?????

The betting exchange (which had us as favourites at 3pm) now has the draw as clear favourite result (2.3 to 1) with Saddlers at 2.7 to1 and Dons outsiders at 3.8 to 1

Your missing the point, we take loans on, so that they can sit on the subs bench, why should we need a new striker when we have Bakayoko?

I say bring on Shaibu and Ngoy for Bakayoko and Morris. And if Ozzy is having a bad game try Cuvelier.

(BUT ...... DO SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING!!!!!!!!!)

Waits for same fans that said Ngoy was a way too risky signing to demand to know why we haven't offered Stoke 1mil and signed him on a six year contract. Plus Scott to get a nose bleed over me posting just because we scored.

Come on you Saddlers!

Huge win given Oldham won. Certainly going to need 50 + points to stay up this season.

I have faith in the squad to get four more wins but please JW start someone other than Bakayoko next week!

Morris instead of Ozzy? :wink:

BTW beautiful to see Franchise get relegated. Winkleman giving it the big 'un with their 30k ground and yet here they are below Wimbledon in the league pyramid.

Hopefully non league for them soon.
