On This Day in 1935With 5,000 fans watching, centre forward Jack Lock (with white V on his shirt) goes close as the Dons beat Finchley 5-2 in a second round London Senior Cup tie at Plough Lane. Boasting one of the best defences in amateur football, it was only when 'Doc' Dowden came out of retirement to replace the ineffective Lock that the team really clicked into gear. Playing brilliantly to reach the Amateur Cup final in April, Wimbledon drew 0-0 with Bishop Auckland at Middlesbrough before losing the replay 1-2 in front of 32,724 fans at Stamford Bridge.

And as for league 1, Huddersfield 4th having drawn 6 and lost 8 of there 25 games. Bit of a close shit league by the looks of it 
Only have to look at league 2 ,Bromley top of the league,hard work and application pays, above good
CLUB'S like SwinDon, Notts county,, Bristol rovers and MK. 
I also think your opinion is rubbish lurker😂 
There are far too many clubs in league one now with championship level money. And I’m not talking the kind of money that gets you automatically relegated. There’s plenty of them spending mid to low mid table championship money. It’s starting to develop the look of the situation in the championship where the top third are basically in/out EPL sides. There’s probably 10 teams now in L1 that are realistically in/out championship sides. Then a gap to the rest that are more standard L1/L2 sides. This version of league one is a lot tougher than the one we were last in. 
Ah Rob I’d forgotten about that Jake Reeves pass til I just read your report. Mates I brought along had all been saying they thought he looked one of our better players. 
Utd sack Amorim Morning all. SW19 proper report on yesterday now up - [Link] JJ needs to take the players to a army training camp,toughen up,play for each other during the 2 week break . 
The thing for us is we have to look at the relegation zone. Getting that win at Orient helped massively because its given us a 7 point gap to 22nd. The key to staying up is to isolate as many of the bottom 4 as possible. Then you are playing to come above 1 of 12 teams not 4/15. Lucky for us that none of the teams that can catch us in just one game are playing next weekend either - it does, however, make the Doncaster game pretty big…. 
The only thing that will stop our club being relegated is the hope that four other teams will be more shit than we are. Unfortunately for us, we are about to find out whether they have the money to improve their squads. Bad Egg, you have every right to claim ‘double pneumonia’ and take the week off work. 
The only two things that were clearly wrong today was Reeves’ pass after Nkeng’s awesome run and Stevens’ whatever that was rather than passing the ball into the net. Other than that we weren’t that bad but have still lost 2-0 without really laying a glove on Wycombe. We had our best spell when it was too little too late - some good signs there, but the Wycombe team is far better both on paper and in real life than ours - glad we got the win at Orient or things would be looking very bleak. We will play worse and win later in the season (probably), etc…. Four games in ten (?) days maybe undid us today? Drove all that way for nothing to get a cold just in time for returning to work tomorrow 💛💙 Player management, Bassett's teams had very small squads, and we didn't have many subs them..on a lot worse pitches.but performances were great . 
Part of the job though isn’t it? Know which players have got the engines both physically and mentally. Know when to rest and when to sub for maximum effect. Know which combinations to have on the pitch together. Why would anyone want to be a real manager (as opposed to an armchair one) number 5,434,999. If Jackson plays the same players every game and they get injured or look stale. He's rubbish. If he doesn't play them. He's rubbish. Never expected anything from today’s game so not too disappointed. Went to Craven Cottage instead, as I had a freebie and never fail to be surprised by how sanitised the atmosphere at Premier league games can be. 15minute delay at kickoff because the foie Gras was not hot enough in the Riverside Stand and the shortage of Pheasant at half time caused more upset than conceding in the fourth minute of injury time. VAR kills any chance of spontaneous excitement and the support from the bin dippers was pretty poor. We did well because players were fresh and chased everything. We're not in league 2 now and doing that every week is very difficult with a smaller squad. So we hit the predictable dip. We need to manage players now and pick up points when we can now. OtD - I see that the bearded Glen Aitken is very into the fashion of the time with that 1970s cardigan he's wearing. so far in January we are 1.5 points per game average. Maintain that and we'll be fine. Anything more than that is expecting to be a championship side next season and that's what people laughed at the DTB for. It was unfortunate that they scored their second when they did. But we really didn’t do enough in their box to warrant a goal today. I agree with RB - if we’re going to attack then we need the ingredients and attitude to do so. Today we kinda half-arsed it with some players going for it and others watching it happen. Still way too negative until we are losing. This time by 2 goals rather than the usual one. Stevens miss was truly atrocious. I am Browne's least big fan but thought he was outstanding today. Just in time for the transfer window.
