Varney is still playing?! - Burton Albion vs the Mighty

First of many...2 players down after Wimbledon and then Ben Woodburn goes down with a positive Covid test. It's all Hallow's Eve and the Pool are cursed. Perhaps the returning James Husband will come out dressed as the grim reaper to add some comic value to when he inevitably...

Deep breathing required: AFC Wimbledon vs The Mighty.

What a shite refOne of the saddest things about the Covid era (aside from the death, decimation of the employment market, mental health crisis and so on) is that Wimbledon's first game at their new ground is set to be just another iFollow match. If any club deserves to experience...

Better but not yet the best: Crewe vs the Mighty

Don't panic - Everything is normal. Grant Ward's playing.... The line up looks a bit odd to me, compared to what we expected on the back of all the signings and all the hype about being a League 1 Liverpool. Maybe the division has turned Neil 'philosophy' Critchley...
