August
Wimbledon 2-1 Exeter
Hands 43
Akinfenwa 62
After going 1-0 down Hands converts a superb free kick before half time to make my half time team talk a little easier. Wimbledon come out and dominate the second half and we finally get our reward in the 62nd minute when a ball over the top finds the beast Akinfenwa and he coolie slots home the winner
Wimbledon 1-0 Birmingham ( League Cup)
Van Dijk 31
After a long spell of Birmingham pressure Wimbledon break up the park and have there first shot on goal, great save by the Birmingham keeper however all he can do is push the ball to Van Dijk he calmly rolls the ball into the empty net. Birmingham huffed and puffed at the front door however the Dons held strong! Great scalp!
Newport Co. 2-1 Wimbledon
Akinfenwa 46
Poor 1st half damaged our chances of winning this game 2-0 at the break. Akinfenwa gives us a little hope in the second half scoring early and the comeback was surely complete when the ball finds the Newport net again however the celebrations are short lived as the linesmans flag is up. Disappointing 1st defeat!
Wimbledon 1-0 Wycombe
Akinfenwa 24
Akinfenwa gives Wimbledon a vital win with his 3rd goal of the campaign! However disaster strikes when he and Francomb are taking off injured at the start of the second half. Both players will be out for the next 4-5 weeks
Tranmere 1-1 Wimbledon
Taylor 71
With the injuries racking up taylor manges to wriggle into a bit of space inside the box and finishes superbly to give Wimbedon the lead! 90 minutes gone the game is surely won now? Wait!! Tranmere are breaking up the field, the ball is moved to the left wing, he cuts inside and shoots... GOAL what a strike! There is nothing the keeper could do, top corner! A share of the spoils
West Ham 4-2 Wimbledon
Kennedy 17
Azeez 63
Oshilaja S/O
As if things weren't going to be hard enough Oshilaja is sent off within 5mins for a last man tackle. 3-1 down at half time, 4-2 at full time. Not one we expected to win, respectable result with 10 men!
Wimbledon 2-2 Mansfield
Tanner 25
Azeez 90
Such a frustrating game! We have 7 injuries and 1 ban o go into this game this includes our 2 cbs, our 2 wingers and our striker! Wimbledon take the lead through tanner however mansfield equalise before half time. After a boring second half all **** breaks loose in the dying minutes. The balls crossed into the box from deep and Azeez converts from 6 yards out. 3 minutes added time to go, 1 minute down, 2 minutes down, final minute of added time is up! Wheres the whistle ref???? Mansfield wingers cuts inside, squares to the striker, Goal! Unbelievable Jeff. Final Score 2-2.
Mixed start to the season. This month could have been so much better if it wasn't fr 2 last minute goals from Tranmere and Mansfield. Instead of 12 points from 5 games we end the month with 8. Still firmly in touching distance with the early leaders. In contrast i was over the moon with out League Cup performance a win against Birmingham, 2 divisions higher than ourselves and a respectable 4-2 defeat t premier league west ham.
PLAYER OF THE MONTH

Akinfenwa had an excellent start to the campaign and was unfortunate to pick up an injury. 4 games 3 goals get the big man player of the month.
Looks fine so far!
