What a great win! Good game - I thought Mansell was excellent, Leadbitter too, and Matty getting his 19th. 9 out of 9! UTG!
I thought they all played well. Mansell won man of the match but for me, Mildenhall made some very good and crucial saves we when we were 2-1 up. He pretty much won us these points to be honest. I also thought Lines was fantastic. Both of these were joint winners for mant of the match. However it could have easily gone to any of them tonight. Wimbledon were 1 of the better teams I have seen at the Mem this season. When they eventually got their goal we looked certain to get number 2 and may even go on to win it. Great result to end their 4 month unbeaten away record. Now we are 6 points behind 3rd with 11 games to go. To keep our feet on the ground, if we think we can gain 6 points we could lose 6 points which means could drop out of the play offs. Take 1 game at a time and up next is Mansfield who wants a play off position too.
Agreed Lines was excellent- much better than Lawrence has been, and they all put a shift in. Great to see us begin to put daylight between us and 8th. Bring on Mansfield then a Severnside Derby away to Newport. Let's keep this up - crucial run in just around the corner
Chasing 3rd... Plymouth are 3rd and Oxford 2nd both on the same amount of points. We are now 6 points behind them. On Saturday their fixtures are.... Accrington V Plymouth Oxford V Leyton Orient Tough games! They both could lose so another big 3 points for us puts us in a brilliant position. Other crucial games on Saturday should see straight forward 3 points for our promotion rivals..... Morecambe V Wimbledon Portsmouth V Newport Wycombe V Stevenage
Wimbledon the best side I have seen at the Mem this season, Very impressed with Taylor up front for AFC thought he worked hard but our defence looked solid last night and when they did get through Mildy was in superb form. Really pleased to see Ollie Clarke get a start and when McBurnie gets a little fitter I think he will be an asset to the squad, reminded me of Gaffney with his willingness to chase and harry defenders but didn't look match fit to me
A very composed performance. You can see the team's self-belief growing. A top seven finish is looking increasingly possible. Pleased with the new mini scoreboard........I could read it as well as see it! Good to see little touches around the ground showing we're on the move! ( at one stage I thought Akinfenwa was going to plant one on the referee!)
Their management team were a bit animated at the end to when they were talking to the ref and his assistants
