Dissecting the win at Morecambe with a nod to the current squad’s never-say-die attitude. Nick and Stu also take a look around a couple of big stories in League One and, yes, the Arsenal game as well.
EP263: THE ONE WITH GOALS, GOALS, AND GOALS
EP262: THE ONE WHERE WE SAW US WIN AT PLOUGH LANE
A somewhat round-the-houses edition of the podcast this week, but we do discuss in detail the win over Oxford – our first at Plough Lane in front of our fans. We also look around League One, discuss the EFL Trophy issue, and think back to 20 years ago this week, and a rather sombre anniversary.
EP261: THE ONE WHERE JOE PIGOTT ATE MY HAMSTER
Arriving late, but sounding great. This week, we reviewed the 2-2 draw with Ipswich, and whether Joe Pigott should be chastised for semi-celebrating his goal against us, or if our fans should have been more polite towards him. We also preview the Oxford game, discuss the situation with season tickets, Dons Trust Board elections, Chaucer, Alanis Morisette, Watford – grrrr – and Nick goes on a couple of rants – chiefly about things being better in the old days.
EP260: THE ONE WITH THE SEMI-UNCHARTED TERRITORY
This week’s podcast was recorded before the draw for the third round of the League Cup … but you can thank us for our prognostication 😉 On the show, we discussed Robbo’s philosophy on succeeding at football and in life, as we look at his reaction to two underwhelming performances. He wasn’t happy, even though we did manage to get the (rather important) win at Northampton. We also spoke on all the usual topics, and Countdown.
EP259: THE ONE WHERE WE HAD A HOME GAME
A slightly longer edition this week, as we discuss our return home. We review the draws with Bolton and Gillingham, and give our first impressions of Plough Lane with fans; from there, we have all the usual features, and some classic Stuisms.
EP258: THE ONE WITH THE GOOD START TO THE SEASON
We discuss the wins over Doncaster and Charlton; preview this weekend’s return to Plough Lane and the game against Bolton; talk ticketing systems; and look back at what happened this week in 2001.
EP257: THE 2021-22 SEASON PREVIEW SHOW
We’re back for the new season! Nick and Stu run the rule over our squad and League One as a whole, with predictions for the new campaign. We look ahead to our opening game of the campaign at Doncaster on Saturday, and introduce our new feature, looking back at what happened 20 years ago this week during the final season of Wimbledon FC.
PREDICTING THE END OF THE WORLD … PERHAPS?
As the League One season entered the home straight, Jim Potter wondered whether data averages could predict the division’s final outcome – at the bottom end, at least. Had we followed Jim’s analysis, would we have saved ourselves the stress and anxiety that comes with hoping we’d keep our heads above water? The results paint an interesting picture …
We’ve all heard the adage that ‘past performance is no guarantee of future performance’. However, over time, trends do emerge which allow one a greater degree of confidence in looking towards the future.
Of course, you cannot mitigate for unexpected, unnatural events like this recent pandemic which curtailed last season. But – as we reach the crunch part of the season (roughly five games to go, I’d always said, based on a casual observation over the years) – teams currently in the bottom four of League One will not, generally, achieve more than a point per game on average during the final run in.
Is that true?
EP254: WHEN IT’S OVER
Are we safe? Nick and Stu answer that question (yes) and then those of you, our beautiful listeners.
EP253: POSSESSION
Reviewing another successful week on the pitch, and lamenting the European Super League proposal – and the reaction to it.
