Windlesham Don

Hi Singapore, thanks for the concise summary as ever. All that I would add is that I thought our keeper, Bursik, looked solid throughout, although with little to do. The one youngster who has frustrated me over the two Youth Cup games I have seen is Anthony Hartigan. Obviously a hero for getting a hat trick to bury the illegitimate Franchise…[Read more]

Sing – I’m not sure your glass is full enough to be considered half empty! ;o)

Personally I rarely leave a defeat in anything but a foul mood, but yesterday I was calm and could reflect on an excellent game of football between two good sides. I missed the defeat against Sheffield United, but other than that the Bantams were comfortably the best…[Read more]

Agree that after our fantastic run another home defeat will not be a disaster. However, the confidence of the team may just be enough to get something from the game, especially if we start well. The sell out crowd should be in good spirits and if the boys continue to demonstrate the desire and work rate of the recent run, then the atmosphere…[Read more]

Hi Colum, I think the EFL match against Oxford was included in our overall EFL package, so I don’t believe we get anything extra for that (I could be wrong though). A televised cup game would be great, but I feel that Bury will be out for revenge after the league match and so I’m wary of another FA Cup failure, as things have been going too well…[Read more]

More importantly, we have already announced another sell out for the visit of the Bantams on Saturday! Roll on NPL and the ability to house close to 10k for big games.

Another full house means that average league attendances at KM will be close to 4600 this season, in a stadium which only holds around 4850 – great stuff!

Erik must be rubbing…[Read more]

…and hot favourite for “Head of Frenzy” is Paul Mitchell. No, not he of hair products fame (although Winky does need something to rectify his matted rats’ tail thatch), but a former Dongs’ player who has never managed a club before.

A “yes man” to take the flack while Winky extracts himself from the financial black hole? Who knows, but things…[Read more]

In a season of remarkable performances yesterday’s was probably the most remarkable yet, even eclipsing the televised demolition of ex-bogeymen Oxford. I’m sure I wasn’t the only fan who had an “oh sh*t!” moment of dread when seeing the starting line up. No Robinson was expected, but no Charles, no Bulman, no Parrett and Poleon not even in the…[Read more]

A confident Dons’ squad head up to London road to face a talented Posh outfit this afternoon. It is staggering to think that our last away defeat came at this ground on 9th August, over 2.5 months ago!

Robbo is missing due to a one game suspension and I hope NA is confident enough to blood young Will Nightingale alongside Darius Charles. Will…[Read more]

Test2

After a terrific couple of weeks there was always the chance of an “after the Lord Mayor’s show” performance and we duly got it yesterday. Swindon reminded me of Walsall from the first day of the season – neat and tidy in midfield and happy to pass the ball out from the back. I guess it shows how far we have come since the start of the season…[Read more]

…And so to today and another important match against strugglers Swindon. I remember at the pre-season Meet the Manager evening NA was asked who he thought would struggle this season. The only club he mentioned specifically was Swindon and after a reasonable start they have stuttered in the last month.

We need to beat the teams towards the…[Read more]

Back on the forum after a three match absence (technical issues, not an Onyadon red card!) and three wins have changed the atmosphere around the club.

After both myself and Singapore predicting a trouncing from the Gills, our comfortable 2-0 victory should have been foreseen. In truth we got some good fortune, with playmaker Bradley Dack limping…[Read more]

That seems to have done the trick, Rob, thanks!

Just posted my thoughts on yesterday. but the post appears to have got lost in the ether!! :o(

I will summarise as total agreement with Singapore Don!

Liam, Sing, I’ll be there with a Sunderland supporting friend who said he wanted to watch some ‘proper football’. Looking to arrive around 13:30 so I’ll try and seek you out – keep your eyes peeled for me, I’ll be in my (formerly) lucky green striped top.

Sometimes I have a good feeling about a game, but today I don’t! The Gills look a good…[Read more]

Yep, I think this is finally it my Antipodean friends. You may not be able to book your flights over yet, but you can certainly start saving for them…

The Dons are coming home!!! :o)

After last week’s fantastic smash and grab victory at Charlton, a poor performance was to be expected and the team didn’t disappoint, by being disappointing (if you see what I mean).

Personally I don’t think the players were helped by the formation NA employed. I had been hoping that we would try a 4-3-3 with Bulman, Reeves and Parrett together…[Read more]
