The Gaffer's Take
"It's a bit like the Oxford game. They've got really good players, in the play-offs last year. They lost a few players, but again, they lost a lot of players in the summer and they've really struggled. They've had a tough job on their hands.
"They'll be fighting for their lives. This is their last home game I think. They need to win. The two games that we've got left are good. Although we're cemented in pretty much fourth it looks like, the two teams that we're playing are fighting - which I think is good for us. We have to match that intensity."
Opposition View
Speaking ahead of the clash, Dons Head Coach Mark Jackson, said: “We're coming up against a really strong team. I watched them against Ipswich, and although they were beaten 3-0, it didn't feel like that. Barnsley had chances, they were dangerous, well-organised. We have to be prepared for all of that.
“They can think themselves unfortunate not to be in the mix for automatic promotion. They're an excellent team, well-drilled, they have good players who can mix it up all over the pitch."
