Ardley, who made 301 appearances for Wimbledon as a player before the Milton Keynes schism and became manager of the phoenix club in 2012, was clearly emotional in his press conference, arriving with his shirt out and soaked in champagne. There was little need for the apology he offered. “It’s what you dream of, ” Ardley said. “To stand there in front of 20, 000 people who 14 years ago had their club ripped away from them, and stand there as one of their own who came through the ranks at the age of 11, it doesn’t get any better than that. You can write any story you want.
Now, more than ever, you sense that a club who had to rebuild from the very bottom 14 years ago have completed their rise and even if few of their supporters, not knowing whether to laugh or sob behind Wembley’s western end, were minded to spare MK Dons a thought, it defies belief that the pair will be meeting on equal terms next season. Perhaps, every now and again, history decides to right itself.
AFC Wimbledon up to League One after Lyle Taylor sinks Plymouth ArgyleAFC Wimbledon’s manager, Neal Ardley, could hardly move under the bear hugs that greeted his journey down from the royal box; the centre-forward Adebayo Akinfenwa, whose penalty capped their victory, celebrated by advertising his services to potential suitors live on television. It was not quite the Crazy Gang of 1988 but it felt at once like a throwback and a thrilling step forwards.
“I thought the gameplan worked exceptionally well, ” Ardley said. “I knew it would be tense in the first half. They wanted a free-flowing game but we wanted to keep things in check as we have unbelievable legs. As the game went on I thought only one team was going to win it. ”That is probably true although extra time seemed more likely before Taylor’s dab of the boot. A year ago Taylor was informed he was seventh-choice striker at Scunthorpe; it makes for a picture-book cup final story but the final word went to the unorthodox Akinfenwa, whose status as the nearest thing to a “box-office” player here was underlined by the number of autographs he signed by the tunnel at half-time. Akinfenwa had entered the pitch a minute before Taylor’s goal, assisting in the move that led to the corner and missing a decent chance before Adebayo Azeez was impeded in the dying seconds.

Head Coach Schumacher could call upon the experienced Daniel Mayor, with the 32-year-old replacing Mickel Miller in the weekend draw with Cambridge.

The substitute Akinfenwa scored a generously awarded penalty, almost certainly his last kick as a Wimbledon player, as seven minutes of added time neared their conclusion – but the game already seemed well won by then. Wimbledon had grown stronger and stronger, as if spurred on by a sense of provenance, and it was not a feeling anyone was about to discourage.
In contrast, the visiting Dons have lost just one of their last nine matches and none of their last six on their travels (in 90 minutes). Four of their last five away matches have ended as draws, while they have kept clean sheets in each of their last three away days. Ultimately, this looks a tricky tie for the home favourites and given their strong home form, it´s hard to back the lower-league side to win on the night. However, Wimbledon have a goal in them, having scored in seven of their last nine away matches, and with that, we expect a decent contest where both are likely to net. Plymouth have scored an average of 2 goals per game in their last 8 home matches, and while struggling for wins, the BTTS call looks a decent option here, with the hosts seeing that outcome in seven of their last nine matches.

If that is your way of thinking, then order was brought 12 minutes from time. Wimbledon had been the better side in a scrappy, skittish final, their directness and athleticism nullifying a Plymouth team who never found any rhythm. Callum Kennedy’s half-cleared corner had been returned to him and, seeing Lyle Taylor dart towards the near post, he fizzed a low inswinger into the vacant space. Taylor, whose chances to add to his seasonal tally of 22 goals had been limited, was perfectly in sync and sent the deftest of flicks across Luke McCormick, celebrating by removing his shirt and sprinting up the touchline towards Ardley.

Sitting second in League One, Plymouth are very much favourites for this cup tie, with Wimbledon currently occupying twelfth place in League Two.
He put the penalty away and, after full-time, asked prospective managers to “hit me up on Whatsapp”. His contract is up and Ardley has agreed that, at 34, he needs to be starting games; this was the “Beast” bowing out as only he could. Ardley could not hang around for too long to take it all in; he had a taxi to catch, taking him to the airport for a family holiday in Dubai. His players are off to Las Vegas for a trip that will probably involve rather less relaxation. “They’ve already said they’ll be sending me some pictures, ” he said, but the image rooted in his mind during the seven-hour flight will be the disbelieving mass of blue and yellow upon which he looked as he lifted the winners’ trophy.

”Plymouth’s support, more than 30, 000 of whom arrived in laudable voice, might have expected a different narrative against a side they finished six points ahead of in the league, but were outbattled and found it hard to cope with the 6ft 4in striker Tom Elliott during the opening period. His knock-downs created a half-chance for Taylor and forced right-back Kelvin Mellor into a desperate intervention in front of goal. Clear chances, though, were few in the first half and it was a trend that continued into the second despite Wimbledon’s gradual turning of the screw.

However, the away side are certainly in better form and may well fancy their chances of creating something of a “cupset” in this EFL Trophy tie. Plymouth vs Wimbledon Betting Tips: BTTS / Wimbledon or draw The home side comes into this fixture having won only one of their last six matches in all competitions having drawn 0:0 at Cambridge in their most recent outing. Dumped out of the FA Cup in unceremonious style following a 5:1 thrashing at Grimsby Town, Argyle have since drawn three and won just of their next five matches. At Home Park, home comforts have been evident however, with Argyle winning eight successive matches before a disappointing 2:0 defeat against Port Vale in their most recent home match.
