50 years ago, a hat trick of Southern League titles and two high profile FA Cup runs were not enough. In the days prior to automatic promotion, club chairman Ron Noades had to travel the country canvassing votes from his Football League counterparts as part of a high profile ‘Dons 4 Div 4’ campaign before the Dons were finally accepted. Relive every kick of Wimbledon’s final non-league year through the pages of the latest edition of The Historical Don with match reports and pictures as well as the memories of Noades, manager Allen Batsford and several members of his all-conquering team. On sale at the home games in August and priced at £3, it is hoped that payments can now be made via a card machine!

Yes, I think exactly the same with Binnie. We need two keepers available for these games so with Bishop out need to bring someone in to cover McDonnell. Sure he'll only be around for as long as Bishop is out (seemingly not long).

Now you mention it Bush Womble I’d speculate the filling in to help out and keep fit thing could be Binnie’s situation. Would explain why didn’t get on at all.

A failed one.
I can’t see Hedges being anywhere near the first team this season

does anyone who got a good look at the trialist keeper want to take a look at photos of Rohan Luthra and see what you think

I'd be very surprised if we're seriously considering signing JKG. Don't think he fits the type of forward(s) we need to add. I think more likely we were short of forwards for today. With Stevens and Hedges injured, Foyo gone and new signings yet to arrive, it meant we were basically down to 3 forwards (Browne, Sasu, Hackford). And as we play 2 up front and don't want to give players 90 minutes at this stage of pre-season, we needed an extra body. JKG probably happy to play to keep fitness up × helps put him in the shop window for other clubs.

Someone on X suggested that it was Ethan Binnie, recently released from Norwich.

The trialist keeper age is really difficult to place. He looks like he’s possibly a premier or championship level product who’s been released. Looks decent. I’m guessing they’re taking time to get him involved and assess him and give him an easier start than Norwich or Charlton.

Just guessing though.

Trigs: Being a "Cassandra" means forecasting a true but disastrous event or seeing a dangerous pattern, only to have your warnings completely dismissed, ignored, or ridiculed by those around you.

Non-football link [Link] Scary biscuits - it’s an 8 minute video and there’s no need to watch the full 8 minutes. But watch the first five seconds to see a wildfire on the horizon and then watch the last five seconds to see the wildfire right in front of you.

One of the most impactful things I read recently was someone explaining that this weather isn’t “the new normal” this is just a point along the way. This is not a political post - whether man made or planetary it’s here and isn’t going backwards.
Think if hadn't been for that bad injury with us, Young-Coombes probably could have done a good job for us

Airsy - probably because JJ wanted not to lose games late on - if we had been 2 goals behind Norwich or Charlton I'm sure we would have seen Trialist A, who will probably start at Wealdstone

Re new players, whilst I don't want to sound like cassandra, I don't think you can really decouple the playing budget from recent news about the bond redemption shortfall.

hope I'm wrong ...
See the youth team lost nine four at Carshalton - Nathan Young-Coombes scoring plenty

Strange thing though is that with Bishop injured, why have had a triallst keeper in for two games now and he's not played a single minute.

It's not as if McDonnell is an unknown quantity.
If JKG does end up with us this season it will be because CC and JJ have determined that he’s the right type of person, that they can work with him and that he’ll fit in with the squad culture*. I have faith in CC’s decisions in this matter - he may not get every one right in terms of their ability eg Kelly and Orsi but both of them worked their socks off every chance they got.

*deliberately avoided the “all we can afford” alternative option which I hope is not a factor
I think by mid August we will have a few players in. I also think the youngsters who’ve played the PSFs will end up on loan.

Trigger don’t know but I was told late last season he had an elbow injury. I’d guess it’s something like that being an issue. Saw him in the tunnel late on in the match so he was there.

Hasn't JKG caused us trouble each time he's played against us?
