Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Antwoine Hackford

14 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $820.0K for Louis Flower

AFC Wimbledon have gone to Crawley Town with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Boardroom

AFC Wimbledon go back to the board over Ephron Mason-Clark

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $10.1M — a club that wants Ephron Mason-Clark enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Kaide Gordon due for a AFC Wimbledon medical

Everything agreed with Liverpool, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom

4 academy players handed senior numbers at AFC Wimbledon

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Stoke City tell AFC Wimbledon: Róbert Boženík is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

A bad afternoon for AFC Wimbledon against Barnsley

0‑2 to Barnsley, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

One of our own: Mark Clark joins the AFC Wimbledon first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Mark Clark is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

AFC Wimbledon promote Thomas Watson from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Thomas Watson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
