Nick and Stu give their thoughts on this week’s statement from the PLC board, touching many varied aspects of the club as they do. There’s also a review of the Swindon car crash, and debate over what the start of the season looks like.
How do you explain a team’s continuing ability to drop points late in games? The honest answer is you probably don’t. You can lament it, however. And perhaps laugh about it too – because if you don’t, you’ll cry. Anyway, Nick and Stu talk Salford and Harrogate this week, as well as JJ tweets, and our feelings on his position. We also have an interesting Jackson Five for the CCL hardcore.
Nick and Stu discuss first-team affairs, including the defeat to Rochdale, the plans of Craig Cope, the appointment of Andy Thorn, and whether the season is over or not. We also speak to Esther and Kerry from the Women of Wimbledon Supporters Association (WOWSA). There’s then an Easter-themed edition of Jackson Five …
Nick and Stu discuss A WIN. Yes, A WIN. But there are also a lot of other subjects to touch on, including Chris Gunter’s coaching opportunity with Wales, Ali Al-Hamadi, Luke Jenkins, non-attending season ticket holders, Soccer AM, the Hall of Fame, the visit of Rochdale, and WRESTLEMANIA.
Nick is joined by Kris Stewart, Chairman of the Dons Trust Board. They discuss the team’s current predicament, Chris Gunter, Ayoub Assal, finances, and the recent furore over Trust election voting software.
As we continue to lose leads, Nick and Stu ask whether injuries and a lack of sub options are the reasons behind our loss of form in 2023. We also look at the online debate about the manager’s position and ask whether calls for him to go are fair. Modern football, hamburgers, and Crawley Town dismissals make up the rest of our Stone Cold Steve Austin Day edition. A fun listen so check it out!
Nick and Stu look at where our season sits following one win in ten, and a deluge of injuries. We speak of defending set-pieces, substitutions, and entertainment value, before looking at the visit of Personsfield on Saturday, and playing a Jackson Five that takes us back to a different world (1995, to be precise).
Lots of topics to squeeze in this week – and not just our hero and leader, Jay Bothroyd. We have the draw with Hartlepool to discuss, Meet the Manager, Nick’s stadium tour, John Motson, and Ivor Heller. We also have a tough Jackson Five to test the grey matter …
Nick and Stu return to discuss a varied range of topics this week, in lieu of any goals. We do look at a couple of tactical points from the goalless draws with Carlisle and Northampton, but we also venture to such topics as power surges, PA decibels, referee abuse, Nathan Jones, Woolworths, HMV, and the statistically-interesting 1997-98 season. There’s even a mention of Chris’s favourite ever Wimbledon player. Can you guess who it is yet? Also, a quick preview of Saturday’s game with Hartlepool.
