Wimbledon have lost 8 in a row. We haven't won in 11. This is an important game for both camps.

It
doesn't take us to tell you that this game is very important to both sides. Both
teams want to get out of trouble. Wimbledon are some way away from safety but
they are looking for any signs of hope they can see. We must hope the Saddlers
don't give them any.
In our 11 fixtures since Boxing day there hasn't been a more winnable game. Failure to defeat the Division's bottom club will have fans hitting the panic button, because we are running out of games, and we need to hit 50 points as soon as possible. Team News...

Will
he or won't he include Merson? Will he throw new boy Keith Andrews in to the
fray? Defenders Ritchie and Carbon are available, with Emblen likely to make way
at the back. Wrack and Corica are looking doubtful in the midfield. It is no
good trying to second guess Lee. His selection policy is beyond me. 
The
Dons are likely to include new signing Harry Ntimban-Zeh who joined the club
from Esphino this week. Dons boss Stuart Murdoch also signed goalkeeper Scott
Bevan from Southampton, and he will go straight in to the starting line
up. 
Jim
Walker Continues his good form in the Walsall goal. Some splendid
performances at West Ham and the JJB the other week have shown just why Walker
is a terrace hero. The return of player of the season Ian Roper to the
line up has also been noticed. Roper is a rock at the heart of the Walsall
defence. Don's defender Jermaine Darlington has been one of Wimbledon's
most consistent players all season, and like the rest of his team has a point to
prove after the 5-0 defeat to West Ham. Another Don's defender, Mark
Williams was close to signing for the Saddlers the other week, and it will
be interesting to see how he plays. Williams was signed to help plug up a
leaky Don's defence. He also played in the 5-0 defeat against West Ham.
