AFC Wimbledon Rawlinson OG (80), Balmer (85) 0-2 Notts County
Considering that Meadow Lane accounted for two-thirds of County’s points, this was a chance to completely halt their sharp decline. Instead, they dropped their fourth straight home match due to Wimbledon’s late double.
Although Macaulay Langstaff could have scored more from an early opportunity and the Magpies nearly scored an early goal after some excellent play down the right, that was their only opportunity. After an all-too-flimsy defence failed to make first contact from a looped corner and made first contact with a long throw that ended up in their own net, Kofi Balmer sealed the Wimbledon victory a few minutes later. A tale as old as County’s season states that success isn’t created is not constructed upon a goals-acquired column deserving of the bottom two.
