Squad17 Aug 2026
Nathan Bishop stands alone
7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Alistair Smith goes up and wins it — 7.29
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.29 for the rest of it.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
AFC Wimbledon bid $180.0K for Adam Mayor
The offer went to Millwall 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.

An offer of $94.0K for Ryan Battrum
AFC Wimbledon have gone to West Ham United 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.

Door shut on Iyad Mohamed
AFC Wimbledon asked and Portsmouth said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Alistair Smith’s goal not enough for AFC Wimbledon
Alistair Smith scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Barnsley, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Simon James steps up from the AFC Wimbledon academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Simon James has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Samuel Reid joins the AFC Wimbledon first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Samuel Reid is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
