A knee injury of the worst kind for Joackim Fagerjord
38 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.

No end in sight to AFC Wimbledon's wait for a win
11 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at AFC Wimbledon has to find a result from somewhere.

6 matches without a goal for AFC Wimbledon

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

AFC Wimbledon promote Stephen Lawrence from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Stephen Lawrence 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.
