Sometimes in life you don't get what you deserve, and to quote Danny Rojas from Ted Lasso, "Football is life". So it was on a beautiful day in North Manchester, even the pink sky joined in with the referee and the cruel hand of fate in favouring the home team.
I suppose if you had to sum the game up as a Wimbledon fan in one word, you might go with frustrating ("bollocks" might be a viable alternative). The truth is that Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Phil Neville, your boys took a hell of a beating. But it was 0-0!
There was so much to like about our performance, from the way we shut out Matt Smith and Elliot Watt to the way we carved out at least three second half clear cut chances. We were much the better team here from minute one, we just couldn't on this occasion put the ball in the onion bag.
Am I worried after predicting recently that we'll finish in the top five? Not even 1%. If Ali Al-Hamidi gets three one on ones per game and the other team doesn't muster a shot, we'll win plenty.
In truth I saw absolutely nothing here to convince me that I was wrong when I said we are currently one of the very best teams in the league. We came, we saw, we conquered, but we didn't score. It won't happen often, we move on and go to Crawley. They'd better watch out, if we play like this they could very well get a good hiding.
