Singapore Don

What a high this season is ending on after the misery of the lows of the autumn and winter. Luton and Wycombe were such fillips for the confidence and positivity brimming around the club now – it was so great to be able to share those moments of euphoric delirium with Rob. I trust you’ve recovered and will see you for more of the same hopefully…[Read more]

Great to see Windlesham and Liam before today’s Rovers game – and wonderful (if tense!) to watch it with Rob in the John Green Stand. A beautiful English Spring day with glorious sunshine – sadly darkened by another Dons failure to capitalise in the survival battle with a home win. The Oxford draw last week was a point gained; today’s draw was def…[Read more]

You’re spot on Windlesham. Vital game today- as every game has been for the past couple of months. We have momentum; just hope we can keep it going for four more games. But Rovers are going to be a stern test.

Looking forward to chewing this all over with you and our very welcome Dons from diwnunder. See you all later in the bar (or outside g…[Read more]

Agreed Windlesham, there’s a whole new positivity around the club. An absolutely fantastic atmosphere last night at KM, and such jubilation at the final whistle. Three consecutive clean sheets, wins over two play off contenders, second in the form table – what a turnaround. The players’ belief is beginning to rub off on to the fans. Eight of our…[Read more]

Thanks Liam. We’re staying on a friend’s vineyard (seen kangaroos, koala and kookaburra on their property), and went to see a Shiraz crop being processed at his brother’s winery (Smidge) in McLaren Vale. All amazing. Great meal at Star of Greece and swimming in the stunning sea at Willunga. This weekend at their beach “shack” in Hardwicke…[Read more]

Oh no, sorry to miss you Liam. Have been having the most relaxing but amazing time in the Adelaide Hills, staying on our friends’ winery in Verdun, his brother’s in McLaren Vale, lunch at Star of Greece and dip in the sea in Woolunga.

Great Liam! I think Monday 4th March may be best – or Tuesday 5th. Shall we pencil in then? Let’s hope after Charlton and Shrewsbury we may be in more hopeful and celebratory mood!!

Well that was just the fillip we needed after the FA Cup defeat – and sitting here this morning the six points from Walsall and Rochdale is a happy pay-off for Saturday’s huge disappointment. Rochdale away was on my list of “to go to” away games this season, but it being moved to a Tuesday evening in half term week – when everyone’s off work so I…[Read more]

You express and articulate our shared viewpoint extremely clearly Windlesham! I’ve needed a lot of persuading that WD is the right man for the job, and I’ll need even more after the Millwall defeat. As you say, yesterday was a black mark in WD’s copy book, with painfully costly mistakes. I just hope WD doesn’t banish Wagstaff completely as his won…[Read more]

PS Hope to have a beer with you in Adelaide Liam! I arrive late Feb 25 and leave late March 7. Will be in Verdun and Hardwicke Bay over the ten days we’re there, but will no doubt be in Adelaide itself at some point during our stay. Are you in the city itself??

What a completely wasted opportunity. And to my mind, this was a manager’s defeat. Poor team selection, poor tactics, poor motivation. Why start Garratt who hasn’t played for ages, when McDonald has filled in so ably as left back? And why oh why not start the one player really fired up for this match, who fired the whole team with his dynamic…[Read more]

Any WDSA Wombles in Adelaide? I’m heading downunder in a couple of weeks to chill for ten days in the Adelaide Hills and Harwicke Bay. Going with wifey for silver wedding anniversary, but I’m sure I’d be given a pink slip for a couple of beers. Mind you, you may not want to hear the first hand the plentiful stories of Wombles’ woe in Wimbledon….

I can only echo all the gloomy comments of my fellow long suffering Dons fans here – Saturday was truly dreadful and yet another nadir in what seems like a long list of low points over the past couple of years. It was a shocking performance, shocking in how bad it was and shocking in being such a surprise after the inspired performances against…[Read more]

Well that was a long, long trek to Sunderland – and thank goodness I had a match ticket and got there early so didn’t experience any of the awful turnstile delays that prevented hundreds of Dons from missing the first half an hour of the game. I’m so glad I didn’t miss that first half an hour, because that was when we created our best chances and…[Read more]

I should add: spineless midfield. No fight, no control, no energy. We have a team that cannot pass a ball. And there is no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck and impose some authority and creativity. We desperately lack any sort of playmaker or midfield dynamo. Only Dylan Connolly offers any sort of hope of something happening when…[Read more]

That was as shambolic and woeful a performance as I’ve seen at KM in a long, long time. Utterly dire, we were quite frankly an embarrassment. Only Aaron Ramsdale seemed to display any passion or fight. The ten outfield players to a man were a disgrace. The defence was crap, the forward line non existent. Pigott game by game is being exposed as…[Read more]

Windlesham and I met with friends before the game at Kingsmeadow, and predictions of defeat abounded – indeed there was one 1-4 scoreline which was spot on. I was the only voice of optimism going for a 0-0 – such are the highs of our positivity these days! But my optimism was terribly misplaced, and we were put to the sword by a very good…[Read more]

A point gained or two points dropped? Sitting in the Ricoh Arena watching the game, it felt at the final whistle that it was a bit of both. You could argue it was a point gained because Coventry were relentless in their pressure, which we withstood pretty well (in big part thanks to Coventry’s woeful finishing), and at the end when they hit the…[Read more]

Saturday felt like the nadir of our existence as AFC Wimbledon. The team was as atrocious as the weather. No fight, no spirit, gutless, clueless – it was embarrassing, our 11 men being completely outplayed and out-thought by their 10 for half an hour. This was as bad, if not worse, than anything we saw under Neal Ardley.

The hoped for, if not…[Read more]

The appointment of WD seems only to have deepened divisions in the fan base. The atmosphere around the club is really unpleasant at the moment. There’s a minority wholeheartedly behind him and a minority thoroughly opposed, with I think a vast majority on the fence waiting to see. The rather muted reception he received at KM yesterday not the r…[Read more]
