Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sergio Murillo

34 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. AFC Wimbledon lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Ryan Johnson puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at AFC Wimbledon, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Emilio Lawrence, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.65

A mark of 7.65 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

The wait goes on for AFC Wimbledon

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Transfer targets

AFC Wimbledon bid $39.0K for Josh Magennis

The offer went to Exeter City this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

No deal for Danny Rose at that price

AFC Wimbledon offered $35.0K; Barrow AFC said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Boardroom

Graduation day at AFC Wimbledon

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Danilo Orsi

AFC Wimbledon asked and Crawley Town said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

A bad afternoon for AFC Wimbledon against Fleetwood Town

1‑2 to Fleetwood Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

In brief
