The Dons are coming off of a heartbreaking defeat to Plymouth Argyle, and have a tune-up match against a somewhat shallow Shrewsbury. The likes of Palmer and Rudoni, who are coming off of injury, will be key pieces to an AFC Wimbledon side that has fizzled out in chance-creation as of late. COYD!
The Dons are coming off of 2 big wins versus Oxford and Morecambe respectfully, with 7 goals scored in those two. They face off against a sturdy defensive unit in Plymouth, with only 4 goals conceded in 6 games, despite favoring the 3-5-2. It'll be a tough task, especially with Plymouth coming off a 3-1 win over Sheff. Wednesdayt. I think it'll be a grindy 1-1 draw.

The Dons are coming off a of a string of solid performances, even bagging 5 goals against Pompey a few days ago (unfortunately, that was in a small tournament that not many people care about). I don't know what to expect from AFC Wimbledon in terms of tactics, but against a team like Morecambe, who are a physical team but tend to struggle against teams that play around pressure, perhaps a 4-2-3-1 with Palmer up front to lay it off to the likes of Assal and Rudoni on the wings? Mebude as a supersub? Who knows? #COYD
The Dons face a daunting task as the go up against Oxford, who are 5-0-1 against the Dons in their last 6 encounters. Oxford possess a threatening attack, but the Dons have been defensively sound with Nightingale and Heneghan as the centre back pairings. Let's hope the likes of Assal, McCormick, Mebude etc. can break through Oxford's back line and make this an exciting one. COYD!
Some clips taken from the live stream, partially influenced by the fact that my audio was delayed on stream, so I wanted to make it right by resyncing the audio. COYD!
It's coming down to the wire - survival Saturday is upon us. Two games to go and all the Dons need to survive the drop down to League Two is a draw. One measly point. We face a Portsmouth side today, who are a bit on the inconsistent side, but have all to play for as they sit in 6h place, fighting for a playoff spot. COYD!
