There have been a few tight league games in this opening stretch, including the 0-0 against MK Dons and the 1-1 at Cambridge. I actually like that Wimbledon can stay in games, but there is a difference between being difficult to beat and giving ourselves enough chances to win.

I don't want us to abandon what's working defensively just to chase goals. I'd rather see us get better at turning those close matches into wins. Is the next step improving the attacking play, or is patience the right approach?

We're sitting 11th, which isn't a bad position at this stage, but seven goals in nine league matches stands out to me. We've had some good results, yet I keep wondering whether we can afford to rely on narrow wins and draws for an entire season.

I'm not asking for Wimbledon to suddenly become a team scoring three every week. I'd just like to see us create more clear chances and put games to bed when we're on top.

Do you think the low goal return is a genuine concern, or is the defensive solidity worth prioritising for now?

The Plymouth defeat has made me think about how we manage games after taking the lead. Stockley scored early, and Wimbledon had something to protect, but conceding in the 94th minute meant all that work counted for nothing. Defending a lead isn't just about sitting deep and clearing the ball. We need to keep possession when possible and avoid giving the opposition too many chances to build pressure. They had 18 shots compared with our 14, so there is room to improve without ignoring the positives. I'd rather see us learn from this now than keep dropping points in the same way. Do you prefer Wimbledon to keep attacking after taking the lead or focus more on controlling the game?

I was initially planning to watch the game, but due to work and stuff, i cant make it to the game. 😩

PACE CONSTRUCTION STAND (SOUTH) - Block 132 - Row K - Seat 10

Im currently checking the admin if i can go to official exchange (but i dont think so since its not season ticket)

I'm happy with a half price.. Otherwise this ticket will go to donation.

Anyone interested please?

Losing 2–1 after conceding so late is honestly gutting. As someone who loves football, I thought Wimbledon had a real chance of getting something out of this game after Stockley put us ahead. Taking the lead away at Plymouth showed that we can compete and cause problems for strong sides, which makes the late defeat even harder to accept. In my opinion, the biggest frustration is letting all that hard work go to waste in the final minutes. These are the games where concentration and game management really matter. There were positives in the performance, but we need to start turning them into points. Hopefully, the lads can bounce back against Sheffield Wednesday and show the same fight for the full 90 minutes. Was this more about Plymouth stepping up when it mattered, or did Wimbledon throw away a result we should have taken something from?

Getting a shoutout on sky for AFC Wimbledon. Here's hoping there are some clauses for premier league games/goals!

My wife and I are coming from the US to London for our honeymoon and have tickets to the match vs Mansfield Town on October 20th. We're very excited! My wife has never been to a football match before. We want to go for dinner at a local pub beforehand. Where should we go? What is a good supporters pub in walking distance? Is there anything we should do (or not do) at the stadium or before the match? Thank you!

Going out on penalties after a goalless game at home is disappointing, especially after losing 8-7 in the shootout. But the incident involving Alistair Smith has probably left more questions than the result itself. I have not made my mind up on the whole situation, and I would rather see the footage properly than judge it from a short clip. What did people at the ground make of it?

Three goals and an assist in September, directly involved in four of the Dons’ five league goals during the month. Fully deserved. Good luck, Jayden!

Soon to be friends, I have bought tickets to the AFC Wimbledon Mansfield City match. My fiancee and I are honeymooning around Ireland, Scotland, and ending in London. I was able to grab tickets and I’m beyond excited for my first English Football experience.

I’ve been an “Arsenal fan” since high school because I was horrid at fifa and could only score goals with Theo Walcott.

But now, with this match, I’ll have a fun link to the club. And so now I humbly petition to join your ranks.

Any tips or advice for my first match would be appreciated and looking forward to it!

Please delete this post if it’s not allowed in this sub! My husband has wanted this jacket for so long and I have never been able to find it and buy it for him!! Would someone be able to help me find one?

Anyone else disappointed with Smith’s behaviour last night or did I miss something?

Plymouth away could be one of those games where one player makes the difference. They will be a tough opponent, so the Dons will need their key players to step up. Who do you see as Wimbledon’s key man on Saturday, and who needs a big performance to help us get a result?

Hi

I really screwed up my calendar last night and bought 2 Plymouth away tickets thinking the match was a Sunday instead of a Saturday, Which means my friend can't make it

I have 2 18-23 tickets and 2 coach tickets from waterside way. If anyone wants to buy them off me let me now I am panicking I have made a very expensive mistake

Obviously, getting back home was massive, but now that we’ve had a few seasons there, I’m curious how everyone feels it compares with Kingsmeadow. For those who go regularly, which stand do you think has the best atmosphere at the moment? And do you think there’s anything the club or fans could do to get the place even louder?

I'm looking to go to the match against Barnet, but will there be much atmosphere? Worth going? Visiting from Canada.

Mine was at Kingsmeadow. My uncle took me when I was about ten, and I spent the first half more interested in the burger van than the football. Then the crowd started singing and something clicked. I've been going ever since.

I still think that noise is what made me a fan, not the result. What was yours, and how long did it take you to get hooked?

Taking a point away at the Abbey Stadium isn't the worst result on paper, but after leading through the first half, it felt like two points dropped. That being said, we’re 4 matches unbeaten across League One (with clean sheets against Doncaster and MK). What do you think is missing from this side at the moment?

Who else is doing the early morning coach or making the long drive down? Also, are there any decent pubs around Home Park that welcome away fans and are open early enough before kick-off?

Now that we've had eight league games, who looks noticeably better than they did during the opening few matches?

Could be someone who's become more confident, someone who's adapted to the system, or even a player who has simply started getting more involved.

Who stands out to you?

Watching the replay of their equaliser and it's so frustrating. Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu had way too much space on the flank to put that ball across, and Bradshaw just ghosted in at the far post unmarked.

We defend so well for 90 minutes and then completely switch off right at the death. We have to tighten up those wide areas late on in matches.
