I listened into the game last night so obviously disappointed when Bradford got their late winner. Up until then it sounded like a good game before a packed house in which a draw would have been a fair result. We all knew the run had to finish sometime so better it did against a decent team with a good performance despite the result. Tom Elliott…[Read more]

Certainly a brilliant time to be a Dons fan at the moment. But then again it has always been amazing following this football club.
Tough task tonight as we have not taken points off a top club yet (I don’t count Bury as a top club). Ardley has built not just a good team but a good squad as last week’s performance at Peterborough showed. Suspect…[Read more]

Wow!We really are in nosebleed territory now. It is amazing that the worst thing about last night is that we only one by one goal. Some many positives, a clean sheet, new players coming in and doing a good job and the return to form for LTB. He took his time getting going last season and it was only after Christmas that he really looked like our…[Read more]

After the heroics at Bury, is it too much to expect another good result at Peterborough? Ardley seems to have the team ticking over nicely and it is a good time to be a Dons fan at the moment. Robbo being suspended is a blow but like others I hope it gives young Will Nightingale a run out. However the effects of a long journey midweek may not help…[Read more]

Over the moon with such a great result. Lots to discuss but can I just say that Ardley is doing a great job building a fantastic team spirit in the squad. We will need that in the coming months once the winter weather sets in. There is a link to a very good interview with him on the “other” forum. COYDs!!

Obviously the timing on my crystal ball is one week out. The dull, boring 0-0 draw I predicted at Oxford turned out to Saturday’s game!
Most people don’t seem too upset by the result. The unbeaten run continues, a clean sheet and still above the scum. So a few positives despite the disappointment of not getting all 3 points.
Just a thought – are…[Read more]

There is a good feeling around the club at the moment and not just because we are higher than the scum.
Hopefully that will translate into 3 points tonight.

Phew! What a match. That’s why I don’t like doing predictions. The dull, boring game turned out to be quite a feisty affair with lots of incident and action. Some of the defending was desperate at times, but it was great to see the whole team work so hard, especially Lyle Taylor on the wing sacrificing his usual place up front for the greater…[Read more]

Very hard to be optimistic against this mob, especially at their place, but recent form suggests the Dons could get a point today. And surely at some point we must get a win against them. A repeat of last week’s defensive display is a must. Elliott and Poleon have been good lately and Taylor seems to be improving from his early season lack of…[Read more]

Hi Peter, I was there but flitting about a lot at KM before going to a local pub before the game.
As Windlesham says, excellent summary of the match. Very sound defensively, good team performance and for me Elliott was MotM for his work at the back as well as up front.
If we discount the first 3 games, the Dons have got 13 points from 8 games. If…[Read more]

Hi Singapore , hi Windlesham,
Have been off grid while traveling around Cuba, but now back and will be at the Dons tomorrow, hopefully along with fellow WDSA member Dave K. Maybe meet up? Should be in the main bar about 12.30.
Did manage to catch the news about NPL – What a great day for the club. Congratulations to Erik and all involved for…[Read more]

Certainly one of the biggest games of the season today. Very surprised that Sheffield United started so badly but am sure they will be in the top six by the end of the season. Like everyone else, I was impressed by Poleon last week. Unfortunately Ardley does tend to be a bit cautious with his starting 11, so suspect he will be on the bench again.…[Read more]

Phew! What a day! Got to KM early to hang the WDSA banner up at the Chemflow End before meeting up with family and friends in the main bar.

Stood in the Chemflow to watch the game. First half was very tight with Chesterfield having more possession but the Dons making a few chances. The battle between Meades and their tricky right winger Writing…[Read more]

Lovely sunny morning here in my part of London. Forecast top of 20C with cloudy conditions, so good for football on my first trip to the Meadow of Kings this season. I was quietly confident of a win last week and we got as close to 3 points as possible. Hopefully two away draws will have built some confidence into the squad. Poleon seems to have…[Read more]

With five games gone, I am sure we would all rather results had gone better, but it is still early days. So much so that a win next week could lift us out of the bottom four. The crazies on the “other” website are already calling for Ardley’s head, which is ridiculous. Yes, he did seem to make mistakes yesterday, but that happened last season as…[Read more]

Just arrived in London, but not able to make it up to Rochdale. However I share the general mood of optimism amongst Dons fans for today’s game. Meades and Francomb returning will be a boost, so I am quietly confident of a first win for the season.

Obviously disappointed to hear the latest news about opposition to NPL. Other contributors below…[Read more]

Just heard the news. Very happy, but still a bit annoying that had to jump through so many hoops. Well done Erik!

Very relieved to have got off the mark with a point. One can never complain about a draw away at home. Very surprised that Sheffield United are the only team below us. Maybe a sign that this division is more even than we thought. Does not sound like a great game to watch. Am heading over soon and will be at three home games. Hopefully get some…[Read more]

Been a tough start for the Dons so far. At least, we know roughly what to expect from tonight’s game, even it is a bunch of big, ugly brutes. The key will be limiting the opposition to no more than one goal. This fixture has a history of 1-1 scorelines and no doubt most of us would be satisfied with that tonight.

Not confident but hoping to wake up to good news.
Hopefully the programme uses the word “Legend” when talking about the one and only Robert Smith!
