Johnnie Jackson’s Wimbledon will be reaching the halfway point of the season quietly optimistic of their progress. 

After his predecessor Mark Robinsonhelped relegate the Dons last season with a dismal league performance, Jackson was brought in on a two-year contract to bring them back to League One, where they had been since 2016.

Jackson’s team may only lie in 13th place in League Two, but their form has picked up significantly in recent weeks – three wins and just one defeat in their last seven games shows a clear boost, as does a 10-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

The Dons had to take National League South side Weymouth to a replay in the first round to reach this stage. After being limited to a 1-1 draw at the start of the month, they eventually overcame the Dorset minnows 3-1 at Plough Lane.

Weymouth could have taken the lead against Wimbledon if Tom Blair managed to turn in a gilt-edged chance from eight yards out in the first half. Weymouth captain Xander McBurnie hit the crossbar from 25 yards out as well, in what would have been one of the goals of the tournament thus far. 

Luckily, quick thinking on a deep free kick saw Wimbledon’s golden boy Ayoub Assal drive unmarked on the left flank into the Weymouth box, delicately stroking the ball past the keeper in a wonderful solo effort to make it 1-0.

Thirteen minutes later, Assal was involved again, dinking the ball to the head of Harry Pell, who spooned it up to substitute Ethan Chislett at the back post to make it 2-0. Weymouth barely

managed to get the ball back when Chislett grabbed his second, finishing an excellent team goal a few minutes later, putting the game out of sight and putting the Dons into the second round. 

Assal has absolutely blossomed this season under the coaching of Jackson, leading counter-attacks on the left for the Dons and scoring seven goals in midfield in his last nine

appearances. Former Colchester man Pell dominates the midfield, a true box-to-box player, and Chesterfield will have to be on guard to stop the 31-year-old.

The optimism of Wimbledon’s performances is, of course, levelled by the reality that they are still mid-table and outside of the playoff positions. The same cannot be said of their counterparts Chesterfield this weekend, who go into this match in fine form this season. 

Paul Cook’s men sit in third place in the National League, winning four of their last five fixtures, and their last defeat coming at the start of October with a 2-1 defeat away

to mid-table side Eastleigh. The Spireites seem realistically set for their second consecutive playoff battle, and may even fancy themselves for automatic promotion.
