Jon is main man for ambitious Wimbledon

Prize guy: AFC manager Terry Brown

13 April 2012

AFC Wimbledon striker Jon Main is relishing the prospect of shooting down the Football League's meanest defence.

The FA Cup first-round encounter at Kingsmeadow is live on Setanta tonight (7.45pm) and is the Dons' first taste of the bigtime since they were formed six years ago in opposition to Wimbledon's move to Milton Keynes.

Terry Brown's men face Wycombe, who are the country's only unbeaten side, and have conceded just six goals from 14 League Two matches.

Main will lead the Wimbledon front line and has scored 12 times in the Blue Square Conference South.

"Playing in the first round of the FA Cup is a dream come true for me," he said. "But to be at home to Wycombe, in front of a 4,500 crowd with the rest of the country watching the game live on TV is almost unbelievable.

"People say this could be a shop window for me, but I'm 28, and at the moment I just want to go out there and score lots of goals for AFC.

"I am probably one of the worst trainers you could ever find, but give me a chance of scoring in a match and I just seem to come to life."

Leyton Orient put their League troubles behind them to win 1-0 at Bradford City thanks to a Jason Demetriou goal. Manager Martin Ling said: "Jason's a player who could get you eight or more in a season and we need that."

Millwall went through after goals in the final 15 minutes from Lewis Grabban, Neil Harris and Ashley Grimes earned a 30 win at Chester.

Barnet face a replay with Rochdale after a 1-1 draw at Underhill but boss Paul Fairclough is taking hope from Ismail Yakubu's equaliser. "If you could go back six games ago, if we had conceded the way we did today, we could have crumbled," he said.

Brentford saw off last season's giantkillers Havant & Waterlooville 3-1. Boss Andy Scott said: "It wasn't pretty, but it didn't have to be."

Dagenham were held to a goalless draw at Hereford with Solomon Tawio going closest for the visitors.
