After the dreaded international break, we're back again, and we're facing a Pompey side who are missing John Marquis, but still see plentiful depth in the midfield, and are always a danger. AFC Wimbledon coming off of a lackluster defeat to Cambridge, but the return of Ollie Palmer may see the Dons' productivity ramp up a bit. COYD!

The dons are coming off of an unexpected - yet not out of character - comeback against Sheffield Wednesday to make it a 2-2 draw, and they now face 2020 promotion challengers Lincoln City on the road. While they've lost a bit of their luster this season so far, they will still be a test for the young Dons.
AFC Wimbledon come out with their best all-around performance of the season, giving Lincoln City major issues with high press in the first half and defending well as a unit in the 2nd half. Onto the next. COYD.
AFC Wimbledon are facing one of their toughest tests this season - a match against a Sheffield Wednesday side, whose stats are a bit deceiving - 11 goals scored in 11 games, despite the power they possess up front with midfield maestro Barry Bannan, and prolific goal scorer Lee Gregory. 9 goals conceded as well, all of which combine for a tough side to beat. Both sides see some injuries, including the Dons' most recent knock, Will Nightingale out for the short term with a knee issue. Marsh is out for a little over a month, Palmer is still out as well. #COYD
AFC Wimbledon are coming off of back-to-back-to-back losses, but they are facing Burton, who have only amassed 5 points in their last 5 games. The stage is set for a bounce-back performance from the Dons at Plough Lane. I am hoping to see either a 4-2-3-1 with Palmer at striker, or perhaps a 4-4-2 with Mebude alongside Pressley if Palmer still isn't fit. Henry Lawrence NEEDS to start regardless. COYD!
AFC Wimbledon finally break their losing streak with a solid finish from McCormick late on! See my thoughts on the match in this video. COYD.
