I believe the answer is:

swindon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this team' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'the dons are upset about a win' is the wordplay.
'are upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'dons' anagrammed gives 'sdon'.
'sdon' going around 'win' is 'SWINDON'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
