Am probably in the minority on here, but for many of us, the hatred of all things Franchise runs very deep. So I can understand why one of our supporters allegedly told Robinscum what he thought of him and why someone felt the need to display that banner. Although it seems a big deal now, it will blow over and we will always hold the moral high…[Read more]

Very much agree with Windlesham that points from the next two games are vital. I would hope that 4 points is the minimum we need. We need to take advantage of playing at home, especially against Coventry on Tuesday. There are some very tough games coming up and I would like to see the Dons back in the top half of the table before those games.
Some…[Read more]

Even days later, I am still annoyed by the defeat by Sutton. Firstly for selfish reasons since we Wombles down under won’t get to see the Dons on TV. But more importantly, because the club will miss out on the income the televised game would have generated as we prepare for New Plough Lane.
There is always always​ criticism of the ref, but the l…[Read more]

Thanks, Pete, for the Youth Cup match report. A good way to cheer up Dons fans after the negativity surrounding the Sutton game.
I watched that game via an internet stream, and to say it was a poor game is an understatement. However the draw does mean we are still in the competition. Just hope the players and management can pull us out of the…[Read more]

Hi Martin
I installed an app called Mobdro onto my Android device. Can stream most channels including Fox 2 USA which is showing the game. Seems to work quite well.

As for the game, it is very interesting returning to our place of re-birth. I was at that game and it was very emotional. I suspect emotion will also play a part today, so hopefully…[Read more]

Bit quiet on here. Understandable given the last two results and being New Year. And no doubt Rob is busy with the cricket.
Anyway Happy New Year to all Wombles everywhere. If 2017 can be even half as good as 2016 for the Dons, I will be satisfied.

Just watched the interview with Ardley on Dons Player. He has done a really good job in this last calendar year, not just with the first team, but with the whole spirit at the club, spreading through to the youth teams and the Ladies. This time last year, there appeared to be a disconnection between players and fans for various reasons. At the…[Read more]

Thanks for the match report, Pete. I listened in on Radio WDON for the whole 90 minutes. So heard about how we dominated, but were denied by their keeper in the first half. Then just as Mikey T was describing how one-sided the stats were early in the second half, the Dons took the lead. And sounds like Shea’s save at 2-0 up was crucial in the…[Read more]

Bad news about young Will. He is such a good prospect so hopefully will recover quickly.

After a hectic schedule, the week off should help the Dons freshen up. The team have proved themselves hard to beat, but really need to start winning league games to ensure we stay in the top half of the table.

So hopefully home advantage will help provide…[Read more]

Total respect and admiration for those Dons fans going today, but like Singapore and Windlesham, I could not bring myself to attend a match at their place.
I am sure the “go/ don’t go” debate will rumble on for a few years yet. As Singapore points out, there may be a generation gap developing, as my niece and two nephews are going. The youngest…[Read more]

Hi Best link I saw of Jake is on the AFC Wimbledon Facebook page with a 3 minute video posted by Stuart Stone on December 6th at 6.06am my time in Adelaide. Sorry that I can’t work out how to post a link.

Very quiet on here – is it the calm before the storm?

Now that the excitement of Sunday is beginning to subside, thoughts turn towards the game against the unmentionables on Saturday. For some reason I thought about what team I would put out given a choice of past and present players of the last 40 years, if I wanted a “physical” encounter. So here goes

GK: Schumacher (West Germany). Infamous for…[Read more]

What an incredible game of football. Great to see the never-say-die attitude of the Wimbledon of old, as well as the more practical issue of better fitness proving crucial. As others have said, Reeves did superbly, setting up all four goals. And credit to Ardley for going four up front (but I suppose he had no other option).

And so onto Sutton,…[Read more]

This tie reminds me of when I was 12 and the Dons were drawn away to Sutton United in the Cup. It was about the time I was getting into football properly and was probably my first away game. Despite being the “bigger” team, Wimbledon lost 3-1.
So hopefully Ardley has prepared the team mentally for tonight. He has virtually a full squad to choose…[Read more]

Doesn’t sound like it was much of a game on Tuesday, but a point away at a local rival is not to be sneezed at. Shame about the cards for Barry and Meades, though.
We had our annual WDSA get-together in Adelaide last night, as we always do on the eve of the Test match here and Robert is in town. Really made me think about the huge progess the club…[Read more]

After Tuesday night, the Bury players must surely be psychotically damaged – just like the Australian cricket team, ha ha 😀. So form suggests an easy win, especially with Tom Elliott likely to be back in the lineup. The Dons seem to be coping with injuries to players like Meades and Charles, with the encouraging signs that the youngsters coming…[Read more]

Here is a picture of the banner with Dave Kenwery. Hope he is enjoying the cricket at the moment as much as me!

Back to league action and another trip to the northern wastelands. Not reading too much into the Mickey Mouse cup during the week. I feel reasonably confident about tonight’s game, as I always do when we are playing away. Assuming we have a fully fit squad to choose from, and both Elliott and Taylor up front, I would expect at least a point. Also…[Read more]

Another away draw if we manage to get through. But at least it will not be against a team in the League. And a chance it might be on telly for us Oz-based fans to watch.
The obvious danger is underestimating Bury in the replay but I reckon Ardley is now a good enough manager to prevent that.
In the meantime we have another trip to the northern…[Read more]

Cup time again. Would be nice to have a good run but the draw has not been kind to us – again. Impossible to predict as league form goes out the window and a lot depends on team selection. Nightingale should get another run out and some players will understandably be rested. Let’s hope the Dons can get through and get a home draw in the next…[Read more]
