Dons keep their 14th clean sheet

 Wimbledon face their ‘bogey’ team this weekend as they visit Accrington Stanley who sit in 20th position coming into this match. The Dons sit in 5th place after a great win against promotion rival Bradford last weekend. Accrington has never been an easy team to beat for Wimbledon as they have only managed to claim 3 points twice in the last seven meetings. Both of those win coming in 2021. 

Changes included James Furlong replace James Tilley, and Sasu replace a tired Matty Steven’s. A very dull start saw neither side create much at all as Ben Woods shoots miles over the bar and Sasu sees a shot well saved after turning his man. 

The Second half didn’t get much better, Marcus Browne and Steven’s came on to replace Kelly and Sasu. Browne looking like a great addition for the Dons as he looks to bring games to life with his tidy feet and quick dribbling. Best chance of the game fell to Marcus Browne who sees a shot blocked from going into the back of the net. 

Full time : Accrington Stanley 0-0 AFC Wimbledon 

A dull game and a dull performance. Only 1 shot on target the entire game. Got to see an attacking reaction against Crewe on Tuesday to stay in and around those automatic spots. Good to keep another clean sheet which shows how good our defense is this season.

MOTM: Ryan Johnson 🥇

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...
