On This Day in 1973
Dave Armstrong heads for goal as the Dons are well beaten by title chasing Yeovil Town in a Southern League match at the Huish ground. With nearly 4,000 in attendance and a well-funded 'Elect Yeovil' campaign to secure Football League status in full swing, visiting supporters could only look on with envy as their near penniless club slipped still further down the pecking order.

As the Premier League clubs grew richer 30 years ago, little Wimbledon struggled to survive. Despite a good start to the 1995-96 season, an alarming autumn slump saw the Dons flirting with relegation before victories at Stamford Bridge and Highbury within a four-day period over Christmas lifted some of the gloom. Progressing through to the FA Cup 5th round, only a late, late equaliser from Efan Ekoku at Huddersfield kept hopes alive before a memorable quarter final with Chelsea. Four wins in the five games after a replay defeat ensured survival for another year. Every match is celebrated with the memories of Ekoku and many others in the latest edition of the Historical Don.

On sale from outside the club shop at the Luton, Plymouth and Huddersfield games for just £2. With printing costs soaring, the price will increase next year so grab it while you can.

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

So what's the choice between this patched up team for 5 games or the team that last saw us relegated during the short eddie and Mark show?

Which team would you rather have?
All available info suggests he should not feature for us at a time when we desperately need a goal or a decent forward player.

This is not a criticism of the player himself as there’s no evidence to suggest he’s lazy or has a bad attitude or anything. But if he can’t get a single minute on the pitch during the worst injury crisis the club has ever experienced (?) and there’s no mention of him anywhere then he’s obviously been determined to be not right to play. Could be any reason you can imagine.
Stewart was ready to come on on Saturday, tracksuit off etc. but then sat back down again.

doesn't seem to have set th Swiss second division alight but maybe he can help us out
So a couple of goals in his whole career.

Who is this Stewart fellow anyway? Not even listed in the squad on the OS.

Personally I think Stewart seems like obviously not the answer if he hasn’t even been mentioned since we signed him. I do agree about the balls to Hackford - we weren’t exactly playing to his strengths yesterday and it showed. Maybe invite them on a bit and then hit balls over the top for him and Nkeng to hunt down. No point asking anyone other than Bugiel to compete for aerial balls up against defenders. Not built for it and not what they do.

Either find their feet or knock it into space and charge up the field.
One thing we do need to change if we play Hackford is the long balls need to be diagonals so they drop behind the defenders. Maybe Stewart is fit enough to play. He was a big goal scorer in youth football and being from an EPL academy he should be a L1 standard.

Agreed both surbs and lurker - the challenge with either go for it or park the bus is what personnel JJ has available.

I hope his comments about some potential good news on the horizon come true. Could do with Browne, Tilly and Stevens back. If Lewis or Bauer are available to start then I’d hypothesise that they’d be highly unlikely to last very long.
We have Sutcliffe and Horan out on loan so maybe options? Worry about Hutchinson playing 90.

Can see why Hackford is a super sub type. I actually like the idea of going for it and getting it done asap.

Of course the other option for Saturday is to go all out and try and get the three points in one attempt - making us most likely safe from the drop. I actually prefer that option psychologically but would it work in practice? Burton have won 3 of their last 6 home games. They’ve only scored 8 goals in that time but only conceded 5. So we’ll be up against a mean defence using a tepid attack.

I know yesterday was a an unusual team-wide capitulation with injuries and heads going down etc but I thought Hackford looked absolutely awful on the ball. Couldn’t control it for love nore money. Doesn’t matter how good the oppo are if you can’t do the basics.

Ogundere being right WB that should read.

To be fair we seemed to be playing more as a back 4 anyway. It’s being right WB seemed like a wing back/full back. Nkeng on the left seemed to be playing far more as a wide midfielder with Seddon playing more behind him than inside him. And we seemed to have Maycock more fixed to the right of a midfield rather than a midfield 3. Front 2 were definitely playing flatter. Obviously it became fill how you can when both main CBs went off.
7th Apr 2026 15:39:10 
 [185.lo.gg.ed] 
I actually think we okay well when we have Tilley as the right WB and Seddon on the left. It meant Maycock and Hippo played more central and gave better support to the front players. Without those 3 we don’t have the players to do it. Especially left footed.

Trigger - in fairness I should have acknowledged that you had this idea first. To me it makes sense, as we don't seem to have anyone who we can reply upon to score but keeping a clean sheet against poor sides like Burton, and Wigan (and Huddersfield, who will probably having nothing to play for by then) should be somewhat easier to manage (though made much more tricky by having so many defenders out). Either way, it's a time to dig a metaphorical trench and defend for our lives - no worrying about trying to play entertaining free-flowing football, just "don't lose" at all costs

Just read that a match official who was due to run the line at Sutton v Southend on Monday, had travelled to Sutton Coldfield in the midlands by mistake. 🤣

I do think not being able to score from the 2/3 really solid chances in their area early on made that result as well. They really didn’t have to fear us. They’d done their homework. They crowded Nkeng and Bugiel. And they were able to crowd anyone in the box. On the flip side they ran players into our box easily. Couldn’t score but could just keep going believing they would. Whereas we looked like we never would.

What pissed me off on what you said Trigger was Reeves, who has no pace, kept shooting out onto their passes that he was never getting to and they ran into the gap he left. But the stood off when they were lining up shots. The difference between what we had with Smith, Hippo and Maycock is huge. Their first goal came directly from their player being able to hit the ball down the line and skin him. And not in a direct race. They ran the long way and he tried to run the shorter route that a defender should run and they still got their easily first. Hutchinson got caught a few times later on like that as well. The legs we don’t have in the squad were an issue.
