“They have ability in their side but we’ve come up against teams like Notts County and Bradford City this season, when we’ve performed well.
“We’ve gone to Barrow – who have done well at the start of the season – and won, while there have been games we probably should have won because of the chances we’ve had.

“I think they will change at some point and we will see a different MK Dons team.”
A quarter of the way into the season, only seven points separate the top 14 in League Two.

Paul Lewis will be missing after an early exit during last weekend’s win at Barrow, though Ross Millen and Harvey Macadam may be fit enough to be named on the bench.
