Happy to see we're trying to keep as many as we can.

Probably a few surprised to see Reeves has had his #AFCW contract extended for another season.

I think he can still play a role for the team, even if it is off the bench. So important for the development of Kai Jennings, too.

Following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, AFC Wimbledon can now confirm its released and retained list.

@PloughLaneByNum It will be really interesting to see what happens with the GKs. Bishop made some really good saves at the start of the season. The reaction save from McGoldrick v Barnsley springs to mind. He seemed to lose a lot of confidence after this error v Doncaster. https://t.co/oyVo1khZxg

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

@PloughLaneByNum Great blog! Agree with everything. This part, in particular.

The Huddersfield game was a throwaway one, but Nkeng & Sasu at wingback still doesn't sit right with me. JJ tried Jennings there in pre-season too!

Having Seddon at LCB v Huddersfield also annoyed me, and didn't work.

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

Some really enjoyable moments as an @AFCWimbledon fan, this season. 💛💙

A huge achievement to stay up!

Every one of the 27 #AFCW players that made an appearance in the league, played a role in achieving that.

Looking forward to another season of @SkyBetLeagueOne football. 🙌

[Ray Armfield @KentWomble]

FT 0-4. I don’t know any other fanbase around who would back their team for 90+ minutes and give them a lap of honour after a performance like that, but there you go. If you’d offered me 19th in August I’d have taken it. League One again next season. Thank you and good night.

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

@KentWomble @afcw_women Should be staying up on goals scored. Hopefully it doesn’t come down to head-to-head record.

Go on @HaydontheWomble! 💛💙

Only 19 miles left…😬 #AFCW #LondonMarathon

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

Witnessed something historic today! 🏃‍♂️ #LondonMarathon

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

A moment we thought we would never see 🤯

Sabastian Sawe has become the first person to run a marathon in under two hours in race conditions.

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

Playing through pain today, Bauer managed:
- Most defensive contributions (15)
- 100% ground duels won

Our BFG! 💪🇩🇪

When #AFCW have started with Bauer, Johnson & Ogundere in League One:
- 7 wins in 12 games 🤩 (2 draws, 3 defeats)
- 0.9 goals conceded per game
- 3 clean sheets

[Patrick Bauer @patrick5bauer]

Mission completed. League One status secured ✅

Big character shown when it mattered most. Proud of this team. 💙 #AFCW

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

Celebrated Hackford's goal as much (if not more) than Hippolyte's goal at Wembley. What a relief!

A huge achievement for #AFCW to stay in @SkyBetLeagueOne, with the resources we have.

Everyone else expected us to go down. I'm so happy we've proved them all wrong. 💛💙🥲

[BBC Sport London @BBCLondonSport]

AFC Wimbledon will play League One football again next season 💪

A late winner from Antwoine Hackford at Wigan means the Wombles are safe ✅

#AFCW #BBCFootball

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

Kai Jennings has played 41 mins of League One football, since returning from Sutton.

Away from #AFCW, Kai played over 3,000 minutes (stats missing 3 FAC Qual games)

The only @AFCWimbledon player with more goal contributions than Jennings (14) this season, is Marcus Browne (16).

[Sutton United @suttonunited]

Never fall in love with a loan player 💔

Kai Jennings is the Supporters’ Club Player of the Season 👏

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

@9yrspodcast @PloughLaneByNum I see what you both mean, but we need to think beyond just Exeter. There’s equally bad teams above us and we need to drag them in with a win.

If we get two draws & no wins, it will be the 3rd longest winless run in AFC Wimbledon history. We need to win a game! Wigan could be it.

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

Exeter’s late equaliser doesn’t really change much, but this does…

Only one team that needs the win, next Saturday. A week for #AFCW to prepare for it.

[Wigan Athletic @LaticsOfficial]

After a magnificent run of results from February under Gary Caldwell’s leadership, our 2026/27 Sky Bet League One status has been confirmed! 🙌

#wafc

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

@PloughLaneByNum Just need to win a game. As has been the case for months.

That’s why Wigan being safe matters more than Exeter getting a late equaliser. I expect Exeter to beat Burton next week, as well.

We need to drag some of the teams above us into the final day madness.

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

The odds feel stacked against us, but I know #AFCW fans will stick with the team whatever happens.

We're still (somehow) just one great performance from confirming our survival in League One.

If it happens, I really hope one of these two gets the goal to keep us up. 💛💙

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

A chance for #AFCW to do the double over a very good team, tomorrow.

But how things have changed since we last met... 🙁

After the 2-1 win at Home Park, Wimbledon had 8 wins from the first 13 league games.

Sitting 4th in the table on 25 points (half the current points total!)

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

Since that game on 18th October, Argyle have played 30 matches and picked up 50 points. Winning half their games, collecting double the points that #AFCW have.

Wimbledon won only 6 of their next 30 games, conceding more goals than any League One side (joint with Northampton). 😬

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

@stevens55149 It's just so obvious how important Mathew is to the #AFCW team. As I said few months ago, too. 😔

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

Missing our talisman

- Wimbledon won 6 of the 10 League One games that Matty Stevens started.
- Stevens scored in 5 matches, and assisted twice.
- Wimbledon scored two goals in 7 of the 10 matches he played.

Without Stevens, #AFCW have won 2 in 8 games, scoring only 9 goals. 🤕

[Ed Hewison @EdHewison]

That was Stockport’s first away win since 27th January. Their first away clean sheet since 1st January, too.

I assume JJ saw those facts and assumed #AFCW would get a 0-0.

Bauer, heroic tonight, with one working leg. Too many other players letting us down.

Resigned to it now.

[AFC Wimbledon @AFCWimbledon]

FULL-TIME: AFC Wimbledon 0-2 Stockport County ⏰
