Before that draw, Wimbledon had won three on the spin, defeating both Gillingham and Tranmere Rovers at home ether side of an away win at Newport County.
The club’s top scorer is Mathew Stevens who has helped himself to 13 League Two goals already this campaign, being assisted by the likes of James Tilley who has provided five assists.

Saturday saw a rare home defeat to a resurgent Newport County team having picked up points prior to that at Harrogate Town and at home to Tuesday’s opponents less than two weeks ago. Their last victory came in the middle of January against Morecambe thanks to a Chris Long strike.
Top scorer for the Railwaymen this season is the former Cambridge United striker Jack Lankester who has scored seven times and has also provided the most assists for his side with five.
In the previous ten meeting between these two sides, they have rarely been able to be separated with seven games ending in a draw. Crewe Alexandra have won two of those ten with Tuesday’s hosts managing just one victory. The last five matches have ended in a draw, with the contest earlier in the season ending 1-1. The match at Crewe’s Mornflake Stadium saw a Josh Neufville strike in first half stoppage time rescue a point for Wimbledon after Jamie Knight-Lebel had given Crewe the lead 15 minutes in.
During the 2023-24 season, these sides again shared the spoils as both games ended in stalemate. The first meeting of the season looked to have been sewn up by the home side AFC Wimbledon as they raced into a 2-0 half time lead. Joh Neufville and James Tilley scored the goals that looked to have seen of the Railwaymen. Joel Tabiner pulled one back Lee Bell’s men before Elliott Nevitt equalised in dramatic fashion, claiming a point for his side with a leveller ten minutes into added time.
The last time there was a positive result between these two came all the way back in the 2021-22 season when they both claimed a win apiece. AFC Wimbledon claimed victory at Plough Lane thanks to an inspired Jack Rudoni performance. Rudoni, now of Coventry City, cancelled out a Chris Long opener for Crewe before turning provider for Ollie Palmer to turn the game on its head. Palmer bagged his second on the stroke of half time to ensure The Dons went in 3-1 to the good at half time. With just a minute left on the clock, Chris Porter pulled a consolation goal back for Crewe.
AFC Wimbledon’s trip to Cheshire later in the campaign produced another comeback victory, this time in favour of Crewe thank to goals from Mikael Mandron, Chris Long and Bassala Sambou that cancelled out a Sam Cosgrove opener. The season would end in relegation back to League Two for both sides.
