We are approaching a crucial time, both on and off of the pitch.

The overwhelming vote in favour of the London Broncos’ ground share puts in place a vital future source of income.

We currently have a bridging loan in place to cover the fit out of the ground before our match day revenue streams kick in. These short term loans typically come with…[Read more]

I wonder when was the last time we had five draws in a row? We are becoming a team you would select on the Littlewoods pools (if that even exists anymore).

A decent point on Tuesday night at a ground which has been a graveyard for us over the years.

However, I need to have a rant about the goal we conceded having watched it several times on the highlights…

We apparently have employed a ‘set piece coach’ and the last time I looked up the definition, an opposition corner would count as a ‘set…[Read more]

Oops, got carried away with the win and forgot a couple more minuses:
Minus – Joe Pigott seems to be spending more and more time sat on the floor with his arms outstretched appealing to the ref. As a Lon striker he needs to be strong, hold the ball up and bring our attacking midfielders into the game. Sadly, I am not sure that Joe’s first touch…[Read more]

Tuesday’s morale boosting victory would have given the squad confidence going into a tough game today.
A clean sheet, although less than convincing at times, would also have helped lift spirits.

Having watched the match on Follow here are my plusses and minuses:
Plus – Jack Rudoni gets better and more confident with every match. His winner stood…[Read more]

A cursory glance at this week’s fixtures shows what an important few days it could be for our chances. I understand that Robbo wants to change culture and introduce a process, but this work has to be accompanied by the acquisition of points or he will not get the chance to complete his work.

On Tuesday we entertain Gillingham, a hard working and…[Read more]

Some positives from last Saturday’s match:

The switch from 3-5-2 to 4-2-3-1 – 3 at the back had not been working for a while and the new formation gave Rudoni and Chislett free rein to be creative, knowing that there were two holding players behind them.

The midfield shape also produced much better connectivity between defence, midfield and…[Read more]

It is getting desperate! I’m not sure what sacking Hodges will actually achieve. It may even hasten what we dread. You just wonder how well thought out these decisions are? Sure, losing to MK Dons is no good, but that is our fault, not theirs. Losing him two hours after the match may have been a tad an over-reaction? We lost to Doncaster today, so…[Read more]

TRANSFER WINDOW UPDATE
[No players involved in this update but two significantly outgoing…]

It is with a genuinely heavy heart that I have to announce that we have parted company with Glyn.

CEO Joe Palmer made the announcement of Glyn Hodges leaving the club by mutual consent just hours after the club’s poorly-received loss to THEM at Plough…[Read more]

The stats don’t lie: 2 points in 33. Nine defeats in eleven. Shockingly bad and at any other club there would be repercussions. Today for historic reasons was a really depressing day leaving so many with a sharp sense of being rock bottom. Without change, relegation looks more and more likely. I can’t see this lot doing a Great Escape 2. The sad…[Read more]

This was the must win game: for our season, for our pride. An historic day – and we failed. A dark day in the history of AFC Wimbledon, probably our lowest point. No ideas, no leadership, on or off the field. Each and everyone at AFCW is forever tarnished with this day of ignominy. The disgrace and shame will forever be a scar on all. This may…[Read more]

Over the past few seasons I have generally avoided getting upset over our matches against the Franchise. However, not with this match. It suddenly occurred to me that the coke-addled, frog-eyed, child snatcher (for those old enough to remember Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) would be allowed to watch a match at the new ground before the fans who had…[Read more]

TRANSFER WINDOW UPDATE

Glyn Hodges has made his third loan signing of the transfer window with the addition of defender Darnell Johnson from Leicester City and sending home-grown midfielder Anthony Hartigan the other way to Newport County in League Two.

Johnson is 22 and has just 10 League One games experience with Wigan Athletic. He is a former…[Read more]

A day after CEO Joe Palmer said money would be made available for quality players to be signed during this month’s transfer window, lo and behold the next day in a Friday night announcement, the club unveiled the loan signing of defensive midfielder George Dobson from Sunderland for the remainder of this season. Dobson, 23, has around 120 L1…[Read more]

Don’t get the chance to see much of Wimbledon’s games. This highlights package from the Sunderland game clearly shows what problems the Dons have, particularly in defence, park football defending at times.

Wimbledon-Sunderland highlights

Amongst an array of disappointing performances this season, yesterday stands out for me as a low point.

Normally a defeat against a promotion chasing ‘big boy’ such as Sunderland would not be unexpected, but two aspects of yesterday really got to me.
Firstly, the Black Cats were not very good, IMO the worst Sunderland side we have faced in League…[Read more]

Important that Glyn gets a performance today ahead of another difficult run of fixtures.

Our new keeper may discover the size of the task in front of him if our defence maintains its error strewn recent form. Let’s hope he can inspire a solid performance.

Hopefully we will maintain a back four (not sure we have enough CBs to continue as a back…[Read more]

The club has confirmed the loan signing of Reading FC goalkeeper Sam Walker for the remainder of the season, with Glyn Hodges saying he is a potential permanent signing.

We are delighted to have him. He is experienced, a good size, and a good personality. We keep mentioning about the…

TRANSFER WINDOW UPDATE

Strong mail from Reading FC that goalkeeper Sam Walker is heading to Wimbledon on loan for the remainder of this season following the return of Connal Trueman to Birmingham City.

Quick bit of transfer news – as reported earlier, understand that #readingfc GK Sam Walker is set to join AFC Wimbledon on loan for rest of the 20/21 campaign. He's out of contract at Royals in the summer so pretty safe to say he's played his final game for the club pic.twitter.com/iOk2pEzbw7

TRANSFER WINDOW UPDATE

Wimbledon may be looking for a new goalkeeper after Connal Trueman was recalled from his loan spell by parent club Birmingham City. At this stage Glyn Hodges can call on Nik Tzanev or Matthew Cox, or look for a more experienced replacement during January.
