So not exactly a rivalry game, and why does wimbledon have a football club anyway?
AFC Wimbledon is a great football story. The old crazy gang team headed off to Milton K so the fans created a new team from scratch.Just imagine your feeling if Sunderland moved 80 miles away? I remember early on when they were getting 3000 when the average attendance was 240 in the league. They have risen through the football pyramid very quickely and this is the first year they are in a higher league than the original team so fair play to them. I hated the old team but as I live in Wimbledon these are my second team now. I have been there a few times and it is a very small ground. Obviously I would like a crushing victory for us tomorrow but wish AFC Wimbledon all the best for the rest of the season.
 
This could be our toughest test up to now. Discounting their defeat at the hands of Walsall they got a good 0-0 away at Barnsley and beat Fleetwood who have just shown their ability with a 5-0 thrashing of Scunny ( who though we beat did give us an anxious few moments). Their skipper returning means that I realistically will be pleased with a point - though if we click again in attack mode few can withstand us. So head = draw. Emotionally = Another 2/3 goal conquest.

My mate's a Wimbledon fan and is going today. He expects them to lose as they can't score. They've only got 4 goals so far.

Just hope they don't choose today to break that run!

My lad went to the Walsall game on Tuesday and his report was that we should win easily. Wimbledon defending was shocking, the second and third goals were comical.

And we had 4 different goal scorers so there are scoring options across the squad.

Fingers crossed for another 3 points!

We have to factor in though that these teams raise their game against us.
Luton did that... Then next game got beat 3-0...
 
Oviedo should def be starting like. Very influential going forward...probs our best player! Unless he isn't 100% fit. Just my opinion...
