The Womble Coefficient

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.
