On This Day in 1970
Ian Cooke shoots during a game at Plough Lane in which he scored twice to take his Southern League and cup tally for the season to 26 and secure a win over Brentwood Town. "I'm afraid we cannot win the league now, we've dropped too many silly points away from home," manager Les Henley admitted. "We have won the League Cup and now we are looking to finish second."

As the Premier League clubs grew richer 30 years ago, little Wimbledon struggled to survive. Despite a good start to the 1995-96 season, an alarming autumn slump saw the Dons flirting with relegation before victories at Stamford Bridge and Highbury within a four-day period over Christmas lifted some of the gloom. Progressing through to the FA Cup 5th round, only a late, late equaliser from Efan Ekoku at Huddersfield kept hopes alive before a memorable quarter final with Chelsea. Four wins in the five games after a replay defeat ensured survival for another year. Every match is celebrated with the memories of Ekoku and many others in the latest edition of the Historical Don.

On sale from outside the club shop at the Luton, Plymouth and Huddersfield games for just £2. With printing costs soaring, the price will increase next year so grab it while you can.

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

Chaser re minutes posted on discord. What is most alarming is the lack of PLC minutes. At least we've had a basic summary from the DTB.

Definitely need at least another 2 points and possibly even that won’t be enough, given the way that Exeter are going

It's the hope that kills you. The hope right now is that Wigan and Huddersfield are not the worst opponents to have, given their races are run. But then, so were Villa's and Southampton's in 2000. And I don't think 51 keeps us up anymore.

This reminds me a lot of the premier league relegation season. The message is the same Jackson keeps on saying Our destiny is in our hands. He is of course technically correct but the situation is stark. How do you arrest a run of 6 defeats in a row at this stage of the season ? The team is a playing as if it doesn’t believe it can turn things around. Jackson sounds like he’s trying to convince himself that we can turn it around but doesn’t really believe it. I personally think we are gone. Exeter now have all the momentum and have picked up five points in three games. That equaliser will only boost them all the more. I hope we can still stay up but I have to confess I can’t see us getting another point.

Was it an a attendance record today? We still cannot fill our home end for such a crucial fixture. Ticket prices already too high!

If Browney starts alongside Tilley and Johnson we have a chance

Still don’t understand how their first goal stood. Attacking player literally forces defender out of the exact spot the ball went into. Blatant foul.

I do have more respect for him than other DTB members though.
The new big screen is a great addition to the stadium. Top marks to people behind having it installed.

Did make a mockery of it. But based on the rest of the match the only reason they’d have been penalised there would have been for not running further towards our goal to take it.

That’s the sort of go-getter can-do leadership that will see us out of this mess.

If the ref gives a foul throw against us and then the opposition take the throw from nowhere near the correct position should the ref then give the throw back to us?

Seems the usual crowd on Facebook think Jackson should be sacked. Honestly football fans really have entitlement down to a T

Lurker, Yes but Jackson will stay loyal to Reeves and play for a draw.

The use clauses around the stadium and the existing flat structure mean the land probably isn’t as attractive as some may think. Agree with TF. If you’re a football club investor you’ll take the club cheap and be able to put more into budgets.

Reeves stopped being first choice months ago. Was quite impressed with Nelson when he came on. Problem is that’s the first time I’ve seen him take on a game like that. If he can play like that I’d have him starting last 2 games.

How long left on Jackson's contract? Cannot see him staying though. Even if we stay he'll have a crap budget again.

Need investment but the money if any won't appear before the Summer window ends. Our boards work at a snails pace and of course the Trust members will then vote to approve or not.
Yeah no way will Jackson be sacked but I expect him to get a better offer regardless of whether we stay up or go down

Disagree Silk. If I’m a serious investor looking at option 1: hand over a sum of money but still have minority control vs option 2: pick up a club on the cheap and then invest money directly to where it matters then as long as that happens quickly enough the cash injection could overcome a L2 points deduction or bounce us back out of the National League.

It could be that the crap temporary stands we paid so much for actually works in our favour as anyone wishing to truly push the club forwards has less expense to sort the ground out.
Saw Roy Keane going on about how Declan Rice is not a top player as he has never taken a game by the scruff of the neck when they aren't playing well. There is an acceptance that when you are fighting for titles or against relegation you need your top senior pros to run games and spur on your team-mates by example. For us that means Jake Reeves will have to be that leader if we want to stay up.
