Knowing that at times we’re going to have to defend, we need to stand up against that and exploit areas going forward. ” Although we’re getting used to having to do without Chris Gunter, Johnnie is excited at the prospect of us having representation at the World Cup with the most-capped player for Wales currently on duty out in Qatar. “We’re disappointed that we lose Chris for the games that he’ll be away and we don’t know for how long that will be for, at present, ” said Johnnie. “But I think it’s fantastic for the football club to have a representative out there and I’m delighted for Chris, personally, that he’s got an opportunity to play in a World Cup. “Hopefully he gets some game time and I wish him and Wales all the very best – apart from when they play England! ” Photos: Pro Sports Images.
Ayoub Assal was then fouled in the box by Ossama Ashley, and Davison stepped up to calmly slot the ball into the bottom right corner to give the Dons a 66th-minute lead. Colchester threw caution to the wind when 2-1 down, and in stoppage time came incredibly close to finding a late equaliser when Tzanev denied substitute John Akinde from close range. The win propelled Wimbledon up to 15th in the table, while Colchester remained 21st, with just one win in their 11 matches. Match report supplied by PA Media.

Wimbledon v Sutton previewAfter coming through the Papa Johns Trophy group stages as runners-up to Chelsea Under 21s, Sutton begin the knockout stage of the competition with an away local derby against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday (kick off 7. 45pm). We will be wearing all amber. The sides met in the competition last season, with Sutton winning the final game of the group stage to go through with a 100% record, a result that ended Wimbledon's interest in the competition, and it is just over five weeks since Craig Eastmond's goal gave U's a first away league win of the season at Plough Lane. That was the last game that Wimbledon have lost, a run of nine unbeaten games in league and cup football seeing them move above Sutton in the League Two table, and progress in the Papa Johns Trophy as winners of a group that also included Portsmouth, Crawley and Aston Villa Under 21s, and in the FA Cup, where their replay win against Weymouth has earned them a home tie against National League Chesterfield on Saturday.
