Friday October 14th

Tranmere v Crewe (7:45pm)

Saturday October 15th

Harrogate v Hartlepool (12:30pm)
Mansfield v Walsall (1pm)
Wimbledon v Sutton United (3pm)
Carlisle v Doncaster (3pm)
Crawley v Newport (3pm)
Gillingham v Stevenage (3pm)
Leyton Orient v Northampton (3pm)
Rochdale v Barrow (3pm)
Salford v Bradford City (3pm)
Stockport County v Grimsby (3pm)
Swindon Town v Colchester (3pm)

It’s a big derby game at Plough Lane as Wimbledon host Sutton with the honour of South-West London at stake. The away end is a segregation restricted 1200 sell out with 8300 tickets sold in total as of yesterday.

This will be the first time Sutton will have played a Wimbledon club in a league fixture since the 63/64 season, although there’s some history to this fixture, Wimbledon beat Sutton in the 1963 Amateur Cup final at Wembley, and Sutton played Wimbledon in their first game after they reformed following the judicial murder of the old club (the fact that was 20 years ago makes me feel old). Since that day in the summer of 2002 we’ve only played the Wombles in either friendlies, prestigious County Cup games and in a FA Cup 3rd round tie which went to a replay before Sutton won through.

Neither side can be particularly confident. It’s fair to say Wimbledon haven’t really gotten going this season, whilst we’ve lost our last 5 in all competitions, haven’t scored in 3 games and have more long term injuries than away points.

This won’t be a classic.

 

[AR27]

Salford away, a ground where we haven't scored a goal nevermind taken a point from before. First of a few difficult games on paper this month so will be interested to see how we go, especially after last week's no show.

Team is hard to predict really. Don't know if Hughes will make several changes or give those from last week a chance to put it right. 1-1

 

[Soup Ladle]

Harrogate already cacking themselves in the press about this, do or die stuff.

Last week was a kick in the cock for us after the positivity building in the first few games of Curle's stint. Realisation is that this is a shit team who won't get enough results to keep us out of trouble without a few additions in Jan so it is important to take points off the other shite sides in the meantime. Lose and we are well and truly back to square one.

Sold out away following 600 maybe?

 

[Salvador]

Barra at home. We have 2 wins and a draw in the 3 games we have had with them in my lifetime. So that decent mini record and their recent wobble in form is my cause for cautiously hoping we can get our winless home run monkey of our backs. If we can get out of the bottom 2 with a point or 3 the psychological boost will be massive. This weekend and the away game on NYD aside i really hope they pick their form back up. A great club and set of fans at Barrow. I'd love to see the meltdown from likes of Derby fans rocking up at Holker Street.

It's our duty to be beating one of the known lesser evil's of the league and really one we have to win, don't think drawing here is any good personally.

Need Mayo back in desperately, I'd even take a semi concussed Niang at CB over the other two.

Heading down for this one myself, enjoyed the trip last season apart from the two hours of watching a drab 0-0.

I think you'll beat us, we're in a bit of a rut at the moment and we're nowhere near the standard we set early doors, plus you've strung a few results together and it feels inevitable that Quigley will score. Cue panic stations in the Barrow support as we continue our "ominous slide towards the relegation zone."

Just out of interest the return NYD fixture you mention there has been moved to the 2nd Jan.

Carlisle and Doncaster go head to head in a battle between 7th and 8th to find out who is well and truly the the worst team in the EFL.

 

[Stocky]

We know what we need to expect from a Paul Hurst side, they'll be diving, trying to get people sent off, playing the clock etc. But we have to rise above it this time. They've started well, it will be a tough game, their away record is very strong.

Grimsby sold out away great away support as usual from them so could touch 9k.

 

[BogDaddyO]

Home to Northampton, weirdly not looking forward to this one.
Aside from a very average second half vs Doncaster, we haven't dropped our standards but somehow lost at home to Newport and couldn't take advantage of our superiority in the first half vs Donny, resulting in a return of 1 point from the last 2 games despite being the better side in both over the 90 minutes. Most frustrating.

The Cobblers feel like one of those well-drilled, shithousey, nab a goal from a corner then time-waste teams that we regularly lose to, expect they'll sell out their allocation as well.

For us, I believe El Mizouni is injured, a key CM so we will be slightly weaker than in previous weeks, I hope Jordan Brown fills in for him and not Craig Clay, I think there's a real player there in Brown, just need to give him the game time.

We've had an amazing start, and we do have a genuinely excellent team and manager for this level - but its Orient, looking at our history I can't think of a more unlucky side in the 92 so we're bound to mess this up somehow.

Head says 1 - 1, heart says 0 - 1.

 

[Casey]

Two manageress teams meet at Crawley.

Crawley have been very poor. Newport quite poor. Sounds like a recipe for a snooze feat.

Be interesting to see if Telford gets a start. Been on the bench mostly.

[White Army]

We usually win on Friday nights, and expecting the same on this one. 4 wins on the bounce now, and Mellon seems to have settled on a system that works. It may not be pleasing on the eye all the time, but it gets results.

Depending on how many Crewe bring, the crowd should be around 7/7.5 k.

 

[Cas]

3-0 Salford.

Yep three points are vital considering we still haven't put away any of the other dead beats so far.

I don't think it's really regarded as a big derby game for Wimbledon fans. I guess Sutton probably see it that way. If you score first our crowd will be on the player's backs. It's fare to say a lot of our supporter's are totally pissed off with the club both on and off the pitch at the moment.

I don't think it's really regarded as a big derby game for Wimbledon fans . Anyway if you score first our fans will be on our player's backs. A lot of us are totally pissed off with the club both on and off the pitch at the moment. As for the score anything is possible.

It’s not a big derby for Sutton fans either tbh - depending on your age it’s either carshalton or Bromley.

I doubt we’ll be troubling the Wimbledon goal tbh, so you may have to wait to vent your frustrations

 

[Gunit]

It certainly is a big derby game in my book. Far bigger than playing Bromley and Carshalton given the size of Wimbledon and EFL profile. Doubt we’ll ever play Carshalton again in a meaningful competition during my lifetime. And Bromley was always just another game really. I can understand playing little old Sutton means nothing to Wimbledon as they’re way too massive for us. We’ve been pretty bad away particularly recently but I’m hopeful we’ll see a response. Won’t lack for effort, never do.

Really? Diving, Us? Think you've got the wrong team and manager.

You have had four red cards in 12 games so far and your last 16 games last season you also had four sent off. That's 8 in 28 games, does everyone who plays you try and get someone sent off?

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Will Carlisle v Donny be this years el crapico?

 

[Posh Harry]

Really? Diving, Us? Think you've got the wrong team and manager.

Please don’t rise to his poor effort to try and wind you up

 

[pontoonlew]

Salford away kept alive my impressive record of not seeing us beat away since 2019. Stockports team of plodders might put that record at serious risk though, probably boosted by the win at Bradford and the fact nobody has a clue which team we’ll be putting out.

I’m going a tight 1–1.

 

[PuB]

That nice Mr Evans is coming back to visit us on Saturday, I’m sure he’ll get a decent reception…

Anyway it looks like the most obvious away banker of the weekend if you ask me. 3-0 Stevenage

 

[Son of Cod]

Really? Diving, Us? Think you've got the wrong team and manager.

He's on a windup, he knows that Challinor and his band of thugs are much more ardent proponents of the dark arts than us so he was merely pre-empting us highlighting their ongoing atrocious disciplinary record. Challinor vs Hurst is about as Evil vs Good as you can get in football.

I wish we dived more though. I also wish we ran the clock down more, as it would mean we weren't forever relying on last minute equalisers/winners!

As for the fixture, we were robbed of the full points last season at Edgeley Park so hopefully the footballing Gods will exert a bit of justice here.

 

[BarraMatt]

The Carlisle v Donny fixture will be a play off semi come May.

The reception he got at Field Mill was insane, kept him in the safety of his dug out for the majority

Hoping we can get him escorted out of Blundell Park by the police mid-game again this season.

I remember the 62/63 game at Wembley. Was that the game one of the players scored 4 goals ? . I listened to it on the radio.

 

[Son of Cod]

Hoping we can get him escorted out of Blundell Park by the police mid-game again this season.

Just doing a quick fact check on that and found this gem from the then Boston chairman after the match:

"Steve was thrown out of the ground with no money, no mobile phone and was left to fend for himself."

Imagine the heartache of Steve Evans being thrown out of Blundell Park as he walks out the back of the Main Stand, round behind the Osmond Stand and turns the next corner so he's in the main car park at Blundell Park and the first thing he sets his sights on are those delicious golden arches of McDonald's before realising he left his fucking wallet in the changing room.

Yes, Eddie Reynolds scored 4 headers, which should be considered cheating
