The interesting thing is that Wimbledon have played 4 away games.One win,one draw and 2 defeats.They have scored one goal and conceded 3.We know what sort of a game it will be based on those stats.It is ***** that we keep a clean sheet .
Whilst one game won’t define a season, this one feels more like it than any thus far.
Wimbledon could be 4 points clear at the top by winning their games in hand. So should not be underestimated, and our record against them is abysmal.
A defeat will feel like a prelude to what many folk on here see as our true position - mid table. And continue the view that Maynard is the love child of Curle and Buzby.
A win will justify our position. And given the dire state of our injuries would be fantastic.
A draw will kick the definition further down the road on midtable and auto predictions, but would be a very decent point for a playoff chaser.
Biggest game so far?

Bradford are the only current top ten side they have played this season, though they did get a 0-0 there.
14th in the away table last season.
So maybe a more winnable fixture than many people may assume, ignoring the ridiculously awful head to head record which includes them doing the double against us last season. They are not a big club though, it's a freak H2H sequence that has to come to an end eventually.
I think if we lose three home games in a row to promotion rivals, it shows that we aren't quite ready to compete at the very top of the division. So yeah, it's a big game. We're still at that stage of the season where a single result can be the difference to feeling like we're finishing top 3 or achieving bugger all. The Maynard Out brigade are waiting eagerly as always.
I don't think anyone is waiting to shout about who was right or wrong but to lose 3 home league games on the bounce (if we were to lose) would not be a great look. Crowds will start to drop and that right there will be the trigger for Maynard to either buck his ideas up or to find a new home
To further this point, it wouldn't surprise me if we do lose again and Mike Williamson becomes available, we'd maybe make a move. He plays the football we play with a squad already set up for it (ironic if hat does happen as he weakened us by taking Nemane from us)
I'd imagine Maynard is miles away from getting sacked as we currently stand. We're third in the league. Yes, we lost twice at home, but those were both tight games that could have gone either way. No way the bros would rock the boat at this stage. If we're outside the playoffs come the new year, then yes, maybe.
Losing 3 on the bounce is never good but I wouldn't say it was time for SM to even think of looking for a new home he is perfectly safe as long as it doesn't go badly wrong & we get involved in a relegation battle. I know this comes as bad news to some but it makes perfect sense to the majority, anyway whoever took over would probably not please some so would face the same problems, the trouble is that some posters have threw their dummies out because their choice of manager wasn't picked by the owners who will never please everyone.
