COYD!

Tim, Spike and Arash discuss a game that was played against a team from Buckinghamshire last Thursday, before moving ahead to discuss their upcoming fixture against a team that earned its place in the Football League in Cambridge United.

Note: This episode was recorded before news of Steven Sessegnon's call-up to the Turks and Caicos Islands national team. Good news for him, less so for the relevance of our discussion, or the Wimbledon starting XI.

Arash and Tim discuss the back-to-back wins over Bromley and Doncaster that sees the Dons in the lofty position of 7th in League One. They highlight some tactical shifts and positive individual contributions, including from Bursik, Hippolyte and Maycock. They then discuss the current injury situation and lightness of the squad in some positions. Finally, they look ahead to Thursday night's game against Franchise.

After another rotten showing against Burton on Wednesday night, AFC Wimbledon will be looking to get things back on track against Bromley on Monday. Tim, Spike, and Arash reflect on the Burton game and talk about a rather exciting transfer deadline day for the club.

Local rivals Bromley could give the Dons a chance to try something different tactically - will they? Should they? What even would that alternative be? We certainly don't know.

With Spike and Arash away this week, Tim is joined by Ali Maxwell from Not The Top 20 for a bumper episode.

They kick things off by talking about Ali's soft spot for Wimbledon before reviewing the Fulham and Wigan games. They then discuss the signing of Donnell McNeilly and ongoing transfer business. Next there is an in-depth chat on the state of this season's League 1, expectations for Wimbledon and the job that Johnnie Jackson has done. Finally, they look ahead to the midweek trip to Burton.

Arash, Spike and Tim get back together to discuss Wimbledon securing their first point of the season at home against Reading. There's also a brief preview of the Fulham game in the League Cup and a more in-depth look at Sunday's game against Wigan Athletic.

As the transfer deadline draws closer, they discuss the new signing of Harry Cornick, give a shout to AFC Wimbledon legend Jake Reeves after he secured a loan move away from the club (effectively ending his Dons career) and talk more broadly about potential transfer moves.

Arash and Spike (with a pre-recorded review from Tim, who's absent this week) look back on AFC Wimbledon's opening day defeat away at Huddersfield, before looking ahead to their home game against Reading on Saturday.

With the transfer deadline drawing closer, they also discuss some of the potential moves that the Dons will be making to get the squad finely tuned for a League One campaign.

Tim, Spike and Arash are back after an extended break to kick off the 26/27 season of The Womble Coefficient.

They also briefly look ahead to this Saturday's Carabao Cup match at home to Newport County.

The 25/26 season is finally over, and AFC Wimbledon secured their place in League One for another year.

Dons are staying up allez alleeeeeez.

Tim, Arash and Spike are in far better spirits this week after a 1-0 win at Wigan Athletic secured AFC Wimbledon's status in League One for another season. They look back on that game, as well as previewing the final game of the season against Huddersfield.

Tim and Spike look back on AFC Wimbledon's sixth successive defeat in League One at home to Plymouth Argyle, and look to the weekend where Wigan Athletic are the opponents.

Will Wimbledon be able to secure their status in L1 with a game left to play, or is it going to be a nervy last day of the season for Dons fans?

With no Spike this week, Tim and Arash have the pleasure of discussing AFC Wimbledon's continued terrible run of form. Two more defeats to nil over the last week have made relegation an ever more looming prospect, is Plymouth the game where the Dons can finally turn their form around?

Well, it looks like we may have a bit of a relegation battle on our hands after all.

Tim, Spike and Arash discuss the last two defeats over Easter, before looking ahead to what will hopefully be a change in fortunes over the next week or so against Burton Albion and Stockport County.

With no Tim this week, it's just Arash and Spike left to discuss AFC Wimbledon's resounding defeat at Stockport on Saturday.

They also talk about the injury crisis that has hit the club, what the implications are for Kai Jennings and Osman Foyo, and preview the team's two Easter fixtures against Lincoln and Luton.

Things can change quickly in football. Despite just one week ago talking about AFC Wimbledon's playoff aspiration, back-to-back defeats have basically put those dreams to bed. Tim & Spike reflect on those two games, as well as looking ahead to our game against Peterborough on Saturday.

It's just Tim and Spike this week, but they've got plenty to discuss with two home wins for AFC Wimbledon against Northampton and Blackpool, as well as previewing (potentially) trickier ties away at Stevenage and at home to Leyton Orient.

With Wimbledon's current good form still going strong, is it now time to adjust our expectations and stop looking over our shoulder and start looking up the league?

Arash, Spike and Tim look back on a jam-packed week for AFC Wimbledon, which featured a defeat at home to Bolton before getting back to winning ways away at Port Vale.

After a discussion about the fallout from the transfer window, it was then all eyes on Reading as the search for a home win (or even a goal) goes on.

Tim, Arash and Spike recorded earlier than expected this week after AFC Wimbledon's game away at Port Vale was postponed. Without that game to discuss, they look back on the 1-1 draw at Rotherham and discuss our prospects against Bolton at Plough Lane on Saturday.

It's Donny disappointment for AFC Wimbledon, as a late goal consigns them to another league defeat at home. Tim, Arash, and Spike reflect on that game and discuss some of the issues that some of our bigger names seem to be having. As it's January, there's the obligatory transfer window chat, before finishing up with looking ahead to the upcoming away at Rotherham and Port Vale.

Arash, Tim, and Spike have got another AFC Wimbledon defeat to discuss, after falling 1-0 away at Exeter on Tuesday night. Does a solution to the Dons current woes currently reside in the Sutton midfield?

Also looking ahead to Saturday's lunchtime kickoff at home to Mansfield Town, with hopes that this is the game that rights the ship. Thanks to Stags fan Sam Binch (Mansfield Musings) for his insight.

Arash, Tim and Spike had plenty to discuss this week, after the Dons 3-3 draw away at Huddersfield on the weekend, before progressing in the Vertu Trophy after an outstanding 4 goal showing from the ever-polarising Aron Sasu.

There's also time to look forward, as we head to Devon on Tuesday night to take on Exeter City in League One.
