Team for Wimbledon?

Sun Aug 17, 2025 8:06 pm

Short turnaround before our next game?

Safe to say that Bagan will start instead of Mafico.

But would you make any other changes?

I'd just keep it with that one change, so line up with:


Trott
Kpakio Fish Lawlor Bagan
Wintle Turnbull Rubin
Ashford Salech Tanner

rest wintle for Joel collwill, he's played I'm pretty sure every minute this season including cup. don't get me wrong no complaints if wintle starts but if there's any soreness in him would give him a rest. could always replace tanner with Robinson or Davies but this is just for resting players.

no complaints if the team doesn't change at all apart from bagan for mafico.

Joel is an 8, if you’re resting Wintle then you aim for King, Mafico who are 6’s, and if BBM thinks Chambers can handle a single pivot (maybe he can’t).

Harry, I remember a season or two ago when Wintle was a regular first teamer, he played pretty much every game. Possibly just one of these naturally fit players.

I wouldnt change anything. This forced rotation, for me, shouldnt be an issue this early in the season with a squad this young.

Obtain momentum. Dont change a winning team unless there are injuries or genuine fatigue.

Surely these fit young lads can handle 2 matches in a week.
Keep the same team to start with Bagan reinstated as left back.

There can't be any repeat of Port Vale. If players are not performing they need to be subbed, Willock should never have lasted 90 min. Him and Tanner should have gone at halftime. I expect a big test of character, hoping these youngsters can handle it. I still believe we are a soft side and if we don't get any players in we won't be promoted.

Apart from Bagan, no changes unless someone picked up a knock
