The Womble Coefficient

It was a week to forget for AFC Wimbledon fans, as back to back comprehensive defeats saw their winless run continue. Tim and Spike look back on both results, as well as previewing the Wycombe Wanderers game where the team will be aiming to right the ship.

Elsewhere, Dons fans heard the first details of the investment pitch from Sloane Street Capital on Wednesday night, and we discussed our initial, uninformed thoughts on the proposal, as well as some questions and concerns around the offer.

Tim and Spike discuss AFC Wimbledon's loss in Devon against Plymouth Argyle last weekend, and then look ahead to the Dons two upcoming games away at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, before hosting Mansfield Town the following Tuesday.

In a sad week for the AFC Wimbledon community, Tim, Spike and Arash get together to discuss the Dons icon that was Michael 'Mikey T' Taliadoros who sadly passed away this week.

They also reflect on the Dons result in the Jersey Mike's Trophy against Barnet, and look ahead to the game at Plymouth Argyle.

Thanks to the extended international break Tim and Spike have only got one game to discuss this week, and it's AFC Wimbledon's 1-1 draw away at Cambridge. They also discuss the lay of the land in League One after eight games in reference to Tim's recent blog post.

COYD!

Tim, Spike and Arash discuss a game that was played against a team from Buckinghamshire last Thursday, before moving ahead to discuss their upcoming fixture against a team that earned its place in the Football League in Cambridge United.

Note: This episode was recorded before news of Steven Sessegnon's call-up to the Turks and Caicos Islands national team. Good news for him, less so for the relevance of our discussion, or the Wimbledon starting XI.

Arash and Tim discuss the back-to-back wins over Bromley and Doncaster that sees the Dons in the lofty position of 7th in League One. They highlight some tactical shifts and positive individual contributions, including from Bursik, Hippolyte and Maycock. They then discuss the current injury situation and lightness of the squad in some positions. Finally, they look ahead to Thursday night's game against Franchise.

After another rotten showing against Burton on Wednesday night, AFC Wimbledon will be looking to get things back on track against Bromley on Monday. Tim, Spike, and Arash reflect on the Burton game and talk about a rather exciting transfer deadline day for the club.

Local rivals Bromley could give the Dons a chance to try something different tactically - will they? Should they? What even would that alternative be? We certainly don't know.

With Spike and Arash away this week, Tim is joined by Ali Maxwell from Not The Top 20 for a bumper episode.

They kick things off by talking about Ali's soft spot for Wimbledon before reviewing the Fulham and Wigan games. They then discuss the signing of Donnell McNeilly and ongoing transfer business. Next there is an in-depth chat on the state of this season's League 1, expectations for Wimbledon and the job that Johnnie Jackson has done. Finally, they look ahead to the midweek trip to Burton.

Arash, Spike and Tim get back together to discuss Wimbledon securing their first point of the season at home against Reading. There's also a brief preview of the Fulham game in the League Cup and a more in-depth look at Sunday's game against Wigan Athletic.

As the transfer deadline draws closer, they discuss the new signing of Harry Cornick, give a shout to AFC Wimbledon legend Jake Reeves after he secured a loan move away from the club (effectively ending his Dons career) and talk more broadly about potential transfer moves.

Arash and Spike (with a pre-recorded review from Tim, who's absent this week) look back on AFC Wimbledon's opening day defeat away at Huddersfield, before looking ahead to their home game against Reading on Saturday.

With the transfer deadline drawing closer, they also discuss some of the potential moves that the Dons will be making to get the squad finely tuned for a League One campaign.
