The terraces

Anger at AFC Wimbledon spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

The dugout

Jacob Beaumont-Clark says AFC Wimbledon went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

The Oldham Athletic deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Joe McDonnell reports back to AFC Wimbledon with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Match

AFC Wimbledon find a way past Swindon Town

Swindon Town made AFC Wimbledon work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kamarni Ryan

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

In brief
