View from Kingsmeadow, Volume 62: Scunthorpe Highs and Burton Lows

Terry Brown's AFC Wimbledon began the week with the first round replay of the 2011-12 FA Cup between AFC Wimbledon and Scunthorpe United.

"The boys took part in a bright training session this morning prior to leaving at lunchtime for Scunthorpe," Brown told the press on Monday. "Two players who weren't on the coach were Christian Jolley and Gareth Gwillim who are unavailable for selection. Christian has a slight hamstring pull and Gareth is suffering from a virus.

"Fortunately we still have a strong squad to choose from and we ran through our pattern of play prior to boarding the coach for Scunthorpe. The players have prepared themselves very well for what is an exciting opportunity to progress into the second round."

In the 64th minute, Luke Moore took advantage of a Jack Midson rebound to give AFC Wimbledon a 1-0 lead. That was essetially all they Dons needed, as they progressed to the next round, where fellow League Two side Bradford City awaited.

Speaking of the Football League Two, AFC Wimbledon continued their season against Burton Albion. It was another goal festival on Saturday, with Wimbledon coming up short 3-2.

Billy Kee scored a brace in the 14th and 29th minutes for Burton. Luke Moore pulled one back at the stroke of halftime, but Albion's Adam Bolder scored the eventual game-winner in the 62nd minute. Aaron Webster scored an own goal for Burton in the 82nd minute of play.

Up next for AFC Wimbledon are a couple of Cup matches. First up is the London Senior Cup against Wingate and Finchley. Kickoff at the Abrahams Stadium is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 11:45 a.m. PT/2:45 p.m. ET.

The Dons will then return to FA Cup action when they take on Bradford City in the second round proper. Kickoff at Valley Parade is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET.
