AFC Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson is looking at Tuesday night’s EFL Cup match against Bromley as a chance for his squad members to prove themselves and earn a spot in the League Two starting lineup. The team will be facing Bromley at Hayes Lane twice in one week, with the second encounter being their first League Two home game next Saturday.
After a successful 4-2 comeback win against Colchester in their first game of the season, Wimbledon will be looking to continue their winning streak. Meanwhile, Bromley, who earned promotion from the National League last season, will be making their debut in the EFL Cup.
Jackson, who has a history with Bromley’s manager Andy Woodman from their time at Charlton, knows that they are a well-organized and hard-working team. He emphasized the importance of improving on their performance against Colchester in order to come out on top in the upcoming matches.
The manager sees this as an opportunity for players who didn’t start in the previous game to showcase their skills and contribute to a potential victory. Jackson expressed the team’s desire to win the game, advance to the next round of the cup, and build momentum for the rest of the season.
It will be an interesting test for both teams as they face each other twice in quick succession. The players will need to show determination, skill, and teamwork to secure a positive result. Fans can expect an exciting matchup between two competitive sides vying for a spot in the next round of the EFL Cup.
