Manager Comments:
Gareth Ainsworth - "It's a big game on Monday. We have got to recover and get right. That's a huge game. I think that AFC Wimbledon can both drop out of the play-offs and get automatic promotion.
"I know that it's going to be a full house. I think there are going to be probably a couple of thousand Wimbledon fans making that trip because it means so much to them. It's going to be a tough game, but at home, we have been very good lately, and I want to try and recreate some of that and those performances and see what we come up against in one of the division's top teams."
Johnnie Jackson - “With three games to go, we’re still in there fighting for these automatic spots. Credit to my players."
