AFC Wimbledon currently find themselves in 20th place in Sky Bet League One, six points and one position above the drop zone.

It has been a tough season for the Dons, but the main objective this term for Glyn Hodges and his players remains to avoid relegation back to League Two, and as it stands, the club are on their way to achieving that.

Roughly fifty points will be what the Dons are looking for - the exact total the team achieved last season as the great escape was completed under former boss Wally Downes.

However, there is always the potential for things to go wrong in one way or another, so here we look at three potential issues that could derail the Dons' season if they were to occur...

The potential of a serious injury to Joe Pigott

Pigott now has the task of leading the line for the Dons until the end of the season following Marcus Forss's return to Brentford in January.

The good news is that he has made a good fist of it so far - scoring five goals in his last seven games to take his goal tally up to eight in all competitions.

With Kwesi Appiah suffering consistent injury problems, Adam Roscrow not yet being given the chance to prove himself in a blue shirt, and Julien Lamy only recently joining the club, an injury to Pigott could be detrimental for Wimbledon.

The player and the club have to do all they can to minimise that potential risk.

More teams finding Wimbledon out

One criticism that has been laid at Glyn Hodges is his persistence with the 3-5-2 formation - which sees both wing-backs offer the width to the team.

Although Nesta Guinness-Walker and Paul Osew have shown their qualities this season for the Dons on the left-hand side in their first season of professional football, both players are more suited to being out-and-out wingers, and can be defensively suspect at times.

The problem is that there are not many options. A 4-4-2 seems like the most sensible alternative formation to use. A 3-4-3 or a 3-4-1-2 will not work as Joe Pigott cannot play as a lone striker, and the side do not have an adequate option at No. 10.

If teams continue to find Wimbledon out, the Dons could be in a spot of bother if there is no Plan B.

Chopping and changing goalkeepers

Nathan Trott's future was uncertain during January, with the West Ham loanee in line for a recall back to the Premier League side.

The Dons acted by bring in Joe Day on loan from Cardiff as a replacement, but Trott has decided to stay put at Kingsmeadow until the end of the season. That gives Glyn Hodges another dilemma.

Will the Dons boss have to keep chopping and changing to keep both players happy? That could potentially affect the stability of the side going forward if that is the case.
