Ogilvie with a sharp challenge in the box to deny Rudoni a goal. Melee ensues from the corner after Palmer’s header. The third delivery is out for a goal kick.

Mickey Mouse club... again

‘You sold the club to Mickey Mouse,’ sing the home fans

Woodyard in the book for a foul on Thompson, who requires treatment.

Chance fired wide by McCormick with Wimbledon bodies over after Romeo lost possession.

Carter does well to deal with the threat of Mebude at the expense of a throw. Mebude’s cross is then headed well over by Palmer.

Harness goes into the book as he hands out some retribution to Marsh after an incident moments earlier

Bazunu comes through the bodies to claim a high ball - but takes out Raggett in the process! The defender is back to his feet, of course, after a few moments.

Waiting for a spark

Pretty even stuff in the first 15 minutes but a lack of goal action - aside from that early Bazunu stop
