Dons take a well earned point

 Wimbledon take on Crewe Alexandra who currently sit 2nd in the table after a really good start for the railway men. AFC Wimbledon come of the back of a 0-0 draw against  bitter rivals MK. A win for either side would do the world of good in their hopes for automatic promotion. 

Johnnie Jackson makes a number of changes in order to keep everyone fit. These changes include the likes of Aron Sasu, James Furlong and Marcus Browne come in. The game started off quite lively for the Dons as a few half hearted chances fell in the Crewe box but nothing to much to shout about. However the Dons early spell of pressure was soon vanished after a freekick was swung into the box for an unmarked Knight-Lebel to poke the ball home. A goal that the Wimbledon centre backs won’t want to see again. Extremely poor defending. 

The goal didn’t demoralize the Dons as they pushed even harder to find an equalizing goal. On the stroke of half time the ball found Josh Neufvilles feet where he guides the ball forward and strikes brilliantly into the bottom left corner. 

The second half saw a plethora of chances fall for the Wombles as they seemed to have 5 successive corners within the space of the first 5 minutes. A goalmouth scramble and a header from Ryan Johnson was the closest the Dons could get to a goal in the corner successions. A strike from Marcus Browne saw his effort rattle the crossbar in which would have been some way to win the game for Wimbledon however it wasn’t to be. A late chance for Crewe as Kane Hemmings finds he way through on goal but Joe Lewis does exceptionally well to defend the one on one however he did look like he injured himself from doing so. 

Full time: Crewe Alexandra 1-1 AFC Wimbledon 

A game where it feels like 2 points dropped considering the amount of chances We had. Massive game against Bradford on Saturday. If we can get the win then we are in the business. 

MOTM: Marcus Browne 🥇

Welcome

 Hello, my name is Ollie, I’m a student currently In my last year of A-levels and I’ve decided to create a blog page to share and express each week something that I love. That is of course football. I’m an AFC Wimbledon supporter since young with my uncle taking me to my first game back at Kingsmeadow where we drew 0-0 to Accrington Stanley in 2015. It’s best to say it wasn’t the most exciting of games for someone’s first football match. However the more I went the more I felt a deeper connection to the club. I remember the first big game I had gone to see Wimbledon play and it was my first game away from watching dons play at kingsmeadow. I attended the league 2 playoff final in 2016 against Plymouth Argyle where we came away as 2-0 winners and that experience, that atmosphere, it was just incredible and ever since it’s brought me closer to the club. As I was younger I couldn’t attend as many games but now it’s my 4th year coming up as a dons season ticket holder and I’ve decided ...

Dons kick of the 24/25 campaign in style

New season, same old Wimbledon. Well that’s what I thought when we had conceded 2 goals within the first 10 minutes with Colchester scoring inside 54 seconds as I blinked to look the other way and see absolute carnage in the away stand. I started to feel a rush of deja vu, as if I’ve seen this type of Wimbledon before. And of course it brought me back to the season of relegation from league one. Two very poor goals to concede very early into the game which both came from crosses into our box which weren’t dealt with very well. Goodliffe was found free at the back post where he guides the ball into the far corner making it 1-0 to the away side. I blink to look up and before I knew it we were two down. Goodliffe again… this time we were actually marking him however he jumps highest and nods past Goodman to give Colchester a comfortable( at the time) 2-0 lead. I think I’d of probably sank into my seat at this point just wanting the  game to be over already. By the 10th minute I don’t ...

DONS TRIUMPH OVER RIVALS…. AGAIN

Where do I start? Just a phenomenal performance today. Everyone on that pitch in a blue and yellow shirt, the true colours of Wimbledon, were absolutely outstanding, not a foot wrong.  Our form coming into this match, 6 wins and 1 loss whilst the franchise have had a shocking start to the season with only 2 wins and 5 losses in all competitions. I was feeling confident especially after what happened last time… I wanted it to happen all over again today. The lineup wasn’t too surprising, possibly Tilley coming in for Furlong, but I understand he had just come back from international duty, also Ryan Johnson seems to be out for a few weeks with the injury he picked up against Fleetwood. And for their lineup… I couldn’t care less. We started the game very well, putting intense pressure whenever they had the ball but also keeping hold of the ball well, playing it into good areas of which we could put balls into the box. For the indirect freekick, I couldn’t actually see what had happene...
