Dons won 2-0. Dons now 1 point behind Gillingham in the last promotion playoff spot. Though you would think at season end Tzanev will be leaving SW London.
Unfortunately Dons (11th) lose 3-2, and with 1 game left they are now out of playoffs contention.
They went down to 10 men at 59 mins (losing 2-1). Situation made worse by fact MK Dons (4th) will be in the playoffs.
Nice to see Tzanev get a game, after 43 consecutive matches getting splinters. But unless Bass is on the move, presumably Tzanev will be looking for a new employer in the off season. He won't be in 2026 WC contention, without playing regularly somewhere.
Back to back games for Tzanev in what was the epitome of a nothing game for for both AFC Wimbledon & Walsall. Both out of promotion contention heading into the last matchday with both sitting mid table.
That happened far more quickly than I thought it would.
Leaving one AFC for another? 😏
They reportedly have Woud. I reckon he will go alright at ALM level. Don't think Woud will be conceding as many goals as Oli the last few weeks. Though Foley's dollars will ensure Auckland are never the mess the Glory currently are. Well not while Bill is alive anyway.
Who knows if Paulsen leaves the Nix, I reckon Tzanev would be the best Kiwi option as like for like. Apparently good with his feet, though I've never seen enough of him to have an opinion.
Otherwise I imagine he'll find another gig in League Two. He's more Brit, than Bulgarian-Kiwi after all.
Different to Crocombe though, who had a top season in L2 with Grimsby (plus a great run in the FA Cup) before landing at Burton Albion in L1.
Tzanev was clearly the no 2 keeper at Wimbledon last season.
Northampton Town were a firm mid table 14th in League One last season. 31 yr Lee Burge, is the incumbent. Sounds like other keeper 19 yr old Dadge will go out on loan somewhere else.
"He is a good size with a good presence and has a decent amount of experience under his belt, and James Alger rates him highly.
"Nik will come in to complement, support and challenge Lee Burge and his arrival strengthens and adds a little more experience to our goalkeeping department. It also allows us to look at a loan for James Dadge, if we wish, to further his development by playing week in, week out.
