GOALS, let alone wins, have been as easy to find as Tamiflu at Kingsmeadow so far this pre-season, yet AFC Wimbledon boss Terry Brown was less than enthused about his sides two-goal victory on Saturday.

The Dons reclaimed the Supporters Direct Cup as second half goals from captain Ben Judge and 17-year-old Peter Rapson ensured a 2 – 0 triumph over old foes FC United of Manchester.

A tame first half, which saw James Pullen produce a spectacular penalty save, was followed by a more rigorous second 45 minutes from the home side.

Ricky Wellard was the only new recruit in a strong and familiar starting 11. But Brown was quick to praise the impact of his second half substitutes, among them, trialist centre forward Calum Willock.
