Jervis was superb today and Songo’o was a rock protecting the back four.
The last minute was so tense, especially with I think miller throwing his head on the floor to block a shot. Players are fighting for each other.
Funny isn't it ? DA criticised by some at the start of the matchday thread for playing Jervis up front and taking Songo'o out of defence. Managers in the making ....
Things DA has been criticised for on here in the last few days:
Bringing in another keeper when we've got Michael Cooper (who made two or three good saves on Tuesday so is therefore a capable League One keeper in every department).
Taking the in form Songo'o into midfield when he should be in defence.
Playing Jervis up front when he's awful there, and Blissett who is better is on the bench.
All three decisions quite vital to a desperately fought 3 points.
Posters are far quicker to kick the manager in the ribs for not doing what they would have, than to begrudgingly acknowledge he got a few decisions right.

I am one who has been very critical of Adams over the last month.
What you list above no way makes up for the first 3rd of the season and I will remain critical of his tactics as its dire football.
That being said his dire football got us out of the 4th division and I am a happier man this week after 5 points from 9 but this week no way makes up for the decisions he has made pre season (recruitment) and during the first 3rd of this season.
3 things have improved the team of which one I give him 100%credit for
1. Carey has found his form after a very poor start for obvious reasons.
2. Songo has been superb since he has been picked but lets not forget he was behind a host of players at the beginning of the season and because of poor discipline and injuries he got his chance.
3 Toums has joined (this one I credit DA for) and has been a revelation. We have not a midfielder like him since McHue left.
I will remaim critical of DAs tactics and football until proven otherwise but I am a happier man this week

Songo, Jervis & Carey outstanding.
The new Goalie made a fantastic save tipping the ball into the crossbar to keep us the lead with 10 mins? to go.
Why do we sit back when we take the lead, we had it in the bag always looking in control, then sat back, brought Miller on (WTF) & then hardly got back into their half as they came on to us wave after wave. Wimbledon then had at least 3 good chances in the last 10 mins, not having had 1 the whole game before.
Considering all the players changes, that was an excellent team performance, all involved should take credit.
Crummy ground, glad the real Wimbledon will be getting a new ground soon, more befitting their history.

In a higher division l am still uncertain that playing this brand of football can keep you up. For me, you are giving away so much space & possession to the opposition that your basically not stopping them getting their efforts in on goal. You are therefore relying on these sides having an "off day" which to me is asking for trouble.
