In the Dockers for this one (19 upper).
Also truncated travel owing to the ubiquitous weekend rail engineering works.
Dorchester South 🚆to Bournemouth
Bournemouth 🚎 bus replacement service to Southampton Central
Southampton Central 🚆 to London Waterloo
London Waterloo 🚉 tube to London Blackfriars
London Blackfriars 🚇 Thameslink to London Bridge
London Bridge 🚃 to South Bermondsey
Journey time 3 hrs 25mins
Normally it would be Waterloo East to South Bermondsey via London Bridge.
Alternatively you can do Clapham Junction to West Norwood and then train to South Bermondsey.
All this just goes to show how complicated some of the rail network is to get your your football stadium of choice.
Well so much as happened since I last wrote.
The Esse money hot the bank and the transfer window and signings has been unbelievable.
The greatest outlay has been for Algerian Camiel Neghli.
3.5m spent and looks ready-made – if he’s only half a Mahrez then it’s a superb creative addition.
Luke Cundle is a player I’m well aware of and 1.2m is an absolute steal.
Add to that Baker-Boalty, a winger from Brighton, a young French centre-forward from FC Paris when all the initial talk weeks ago was about Jeff Schlupp being seen at the training ground, things have gone a bit crazy.
Talk of Lovelace coming back, Emakhu back in training and Femi can’t be far behind, the emergence of one Raees Bangura-Williams and the BFS scoring all types of goals, the immediate outlook is bright.
THE VISITORS
West Bromwich Albion have a play-off berth at the moment and will present a touch challenge but like many of the play-off contenders they can be hit and miss and I’m saying they are beatable on the day.
Of course last season I got to tick The Hawthorns off visiting with Aldershot Town in the FAC3.
Jed Wallace captained them in the last game. 42 goals in 239 (including the two loan spells) appearances for the Lions.
Mikey Johnston would definitely be one to try and keep quiet while their number one striker Josh Maja remains sidelined.
Tony Mowbray has recently returned as first team manager, sixteen years after he departed.
MILLWALL 2 QUEENS PARK RANGERS 1
Coventry pretty much filled North lower – embarrassing from QPR.
This post will be updated further on the day of the game, Saturday 15th February, 2025.
