Ed Hewison

@PloughLaneByNum I think, last night, I was also struggling to understand what we needed to do. Orient’s HT subs made an instant impact. Maybe get Nkeng further up the pitch with Asiimwe at RWB? I’m sure JJ assumed momentum would start to swing back our way, because 1st half we were so good.

@EdHewison Agree on the changes. Thought they killed any (slim) hopes we had of getting back in the game. What defensive mistakes would you have made/when btw?

Can kind of see how 2nd half happened. Sure we wanted to continue to attack them like the 1st but they made changes & shut down our threat. But game so open we had no defensive control ourselves. Prob needed to shore up but were v. quickly 3-2 down & needing to chase the game.

So important that #AFCW continue to play our academy players. Nkeng is such a good example of what fans want from a player. Hardworking, insanely talented and will make an impression in every appearance he makes. Plenty more primed and ready to make their breakthrough, as well.

*** NEW BLOG *** The Right Profile Here I reflect on Jackson & Cope's work to rebuild the squad around durable peak age players over the past few years. Maybe not the sexiest strategy, but a highly effective one. wimbledonstatsblog.wordpress.com/2026/03/15/the… #afcw #afcwimbledon

Dominant performance. We deserve to get a little carried away after that. 💛💙 So many goals scored recently. Really enjoying watching us. Every #AFCW scorer was a popular one! Nelson’s goal was our 1st 90+ league goal of the season, so of course we immediately get another. 😅

Indeed! I've watched this more times than I'm willing to admit. 😅 #AFCW

First half we were superb. Should’ve been at least two goals up. Didn’t enjoy the second half at all. McDonnell’s saves earned us that win. He has been so impressive when in the side. Delighted for Maycock. He’s scored two of our most important winning goals, this season. #AFCW

@PloughLaneByNum 🤦🏻‍♂️ I should stop looking at that website, anyway. They’ve started monetising all the good stats.

@EdHewison Doesn't change the general point, but think that table is before yesterday's games?

Continuing the upturn in home form, I mean. We’re already in good home form. 😅

Under no illusions that Bradford were not at their best, but this underlines just how well #AFCW started the match, yesterday. Still only 4 first half goals conceded in 14 League One home games. Only Lincoln have conceded fewer (3 goals in the 1st half of their 17 home games)

Putting trust in young Junior Nkeng, giving a run of games to unsung hero Callum Maycock, bringing back James Tilley. On paper, all very risky moves. I think #AFCW are reaping the benefits of a less-cautious, bullish manager. Jackson and his squad continue to improve and evolve.

There was a time, this season, where #AFCW became too predictable. We were using players that were clearly out of form or needing a rest. Recently, Johnnie has been much more ruthless with his team selection. He seems more confident to adapt tactics and formation mid-game, too.

The players deserve so much praise for that win, but I think it’s JJ that deserves all the real credit for our drastic change in form. It’s undeniable that Johnnie has had some really tough spells as manager of #AFCW, but he consistently navigates us through them.

How the @SkyBetLeagueOne table would look if you took out the final 15 minutes of league games. 😬 #AFCW

@PloughLaneByNum He just really wants us to stay up. I get it.

@EdHewison And think one of the two shots Goodman saved was Seddon's free kick and Huddersfield that he pushed out to Orsi for a tap in?!

Mixed feelings. A point gained? Two points dropped? 🤷‍♂️ A disappointingly poor start, but we've managed to get something. Again, it's a late goal conceded. 🫤 This season, #AFCW have faced Owen Goodman twice, having 8 shots on target, scoring 6 goals. Both games have ended 3-3.

@demredss Nah. You’re stuck with him, sorry

@EdHewison have goodman back

@mh_bfc A point more than I expected before the game. Definitely more than I expected after 15 minutes, for sure. 😅 We needed to get something with some of the next few games we’ve got. A result neither set of fans will be delighted with. It’s us who should be happier. You’re right.

@EdHewison Just from a Barnsley perspective so my opinion may not mean much, but you did exceptionally well to come back from 2-0, and without meaning any disrespect, I think you can consider it a point gained more than we can. It’s another point towards survival for you boys

Yeh, today is a good day. 🥹 #AFCW
