Match23 Jan 2027

Shea Lacey leads the rout of Peterborough United

5‑2, and Shea Lacey took the headlines on an afternoon when everything AFC Wimbledon tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A day Shea Lacey will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match23 Jan 2027

At last: AFC Wimbledon win one

12 matches without a win, and then this, against Peterborough United. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Shea Lacey, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.37

A mark of 8.37 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market25 Jan 2027

Alistair Smith asks to leave AFC Wimbledon

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match23 Jan 2027

7 goals as AFC Wimbledon and Peterborough United go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between AFC Wimbledon and Peterborough United, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

AFC Wimbledon rebuffed over Josh Dasilva

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Southampton have kept their man, and AFC Wimbledon go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Bright Osayi-Samuel

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match19 Jan 2027

AFC Wimbledon come up short against Port Vale

Port Vale left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match16 Jan 2027

11 matches without a win for AFC Wimbledon

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around AFC Wimbledon are no longer polite ones.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Bright Osayi-Samuel: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” AFC Wimbledon have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Nathan Bishop stands alone

6 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.

Market18 Jan 2027

Joe McDonnell 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.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Ainsley Maitland-Niles will not be coming to AFC Wimbledon

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Everton is saying, and nobody at AFC Wimbledon is enjoying the guessing.

Match16 Jan 2027

The goals have deserted AFC Wimbledon

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at AFC Wimbledon can tell you which week it ends in.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

West Ham United tell AFC Wimbledon: Issa Kaboré 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.

Match16 Jan 2027

A bad afternoon for AFC Wimbledon against Rotherham United

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

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Harry Cornick gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
