Can only reiterate Pete and John’s feelings. Outplayed probably the best team in the league in the first half and got nothing out of it. To rub salt into the wound, the highlights on telly showed nothing but the goals so any casual observer would conclude that it was a fair result 😠
At least, the common consensus after the game is that this team…[Read more]

Today against Sunderland is undoubtedly the most anticipated home fixture of the season. Has somewhat of a Cup Tie feel about it as Wimbledon will be the underdogs, so getting even a point would be a good result. Thought the Dons were unlucky against Walsall. They played nearly as well as the previous three league games, but we’re undone by…[Read more]

Another impressive performance by the Dons yesterday to secure a point at one of the better teams in the division. Was not a great game but the team worked very hard for each other and restricted Barnsley to just a few shots. For me, Will Nightingale was MotM, but one thing about the current line up is that it is very much a team performance.…[Read more]

Tremendous night out at Fratton Park yesterday evening. The Dons displayed great character to come back from 1-0 down to win 2-1. Starting line-up bit different from Saturday with McDonald at centre half, Garrett LB, Wordsworth and Wagstaff in midfield, and Hanson up front being different.
Dons totally dominated the first 20 minutes but Pompey…[Read more]

Quick match report. Dons much the better team. Lots of crosses into the box from Pinnock and Bircham but failed capitalise on them. Hit the post in a goalmouth scramble near the end of the first half. Barch was particularly good and got MotM. Defence stood up well but to be honest Coventry didn’t threaten much.
Denied a penalty by the ref in…[Read more]

BTW, John, I believe congratulations are in order after your recent nuptials ☺️

Hi John, the picture was from Sandbanks beach from last weekend. And not going to first game so won’t be experiencing the delights of Fleetwood or Blackpool anytime soon 😏

Like many others, I was feeling rather pessimistic about a month ago about how the Dons would perform in the coming season.
However the combination of seven new signings and some decent pre-season results has been most encouraging.
So far I have only been to one game – the first friendly v Reading. It was a very entertaining game, which is…[Read more]

Crucial game coming up on Friday. I reckon 3 wins will be just enough to keep us up, possibly on goal difference. But 2 of those need to be against the likes of Fleetwood. So squeaky bum time for us Dons fans. Best wishes to all of you Wombles over Easter.

There is a lot of negativity around the club at the moment, obviously with some justification. However I hope yesterday’s win over Oxford will improve people’s spirits. Sounds like we won ugly, but that is what it takes this time of the year. Rochdale away next week is another 6 pointer and without being pessimistic, I would take a draw now. Now…[Read more]

After the relief of that last minute winner against Rovers, I would happily settle for a point today Any thoughts?

Well the League One table is very pleasant viewing today. Dons up to 19th and the Franchise scum in the relegation places. I used iFollow for only the second time and it worked fine. In the first half virtually nothing happened so 0-0 reflected the game accurately. After the Dons got the breakthrough early in the second half Blackpool exerted some…[Read more]

Very encouraging result last night against a good team. Still a lot to be done but the table is very tight and the Dons do have a game in hand over most teams above them. Would be happy with a point at Portsmouth if we were to win at Gillingham next weekend. And well done Neil Ardley.

Excellent draw but we need to concentrate on the League for the next few weeks Fancy us to get at least a point tonight v Bury PS Was great to get a picture of Robert and the WDSA banner last week

Looking forward to our annual WDSA dinner tonight in Adelaide Hoping Robert can tell us all how Wimbledon are going to rise up the L1 table

Good comments, Rob. Suddenly the “Ardley Out” jokes are no longer funny, and may be becoming a prophecy. What I find frustrating is the predictability of it all. Woke up at HT last night and saw it was 0-0. Went back to sleep almost expecting the final score to be 1-0. The lack of goals has become a huge problem and surely has led to a lack of…[Read more]

Wonderful news to wake up to on a Wednesday morning. And the table shows what winning two in a row can do at this stage of the season. Obviously the change in tactics that many people had been crying out for worked. But also having Darius Charles back and Forrester hitting form has helped as well. Well done to LTB for becoming the first AFCW…[Read more]

I reckon that was a very early 6-pointer and very happy the Dons got the job done. Is it possible that fan pressure got Ardley to play Forrester from the start with LTB up front (if that is what happened).
The big question is whether the players can keep it going from here in the next couple of games. 4 (or 6) points would be welcome and probably…[Read more]

I must also apologise for not posting recently. The games I saw back in August were hardly inspiring and have been travelling and settling back into work the last month. Would have been good to have some good results to the Dons to talk about, but that has not been the case unfortunately.
As others have said, the next few games are crucial given…[Read more]

Obviously disappointed about the result (especially after the high of seeing the mighty Crows reach the AFL Grand Final only hours previously) but these things happen.

But flabbergasted and angry that we have defend ourselves against not using the word Dons in relation to Franchise. Surely the much bigger crime is standing meekly by letting that…[Read more]
