AFC Wimbledon will have learn to deal with teams parking the bus against them when they play at home according to Jake Reeves.

The combative midfielder believes where once there was a time when rivals fancied coming and taking three points from their trips to the Cherry Red Records Stadium, it is a back-handed compliment to the Dons' progress that the norm now is for visiting sides to take a more pragmatic, cautious approach.

It is a tactic which worked for Dagenham & Redbridge in a 1-0 smash and grab raid on Tuesday and Reeves knows Dons must up the tempo to deny others similar success.

"I think we have got to get used to teams coming here and not having a go," he said. "There will only be a couple of teams who will come here and try and play us at our own game. I don't think that many teams in the league can play our way.

"Teams watch us and give us a lot of respect by coming here and sitting in, notwanting us to play an open game. The only thing we can do is keep playing our way and try to do it a bit quicker and a little bit brighter."

Daggers stole all the points on Tuesday night when loanee keeper Ben Wilson fumbled Jamie Cureton's cross into his own net in what was the lowly visitors' only chance of the match.

Consequently, Reeves, named Dons' man of the match by the sponsors was in little mood to celebrate.

"I don't think I will be cracking that open any time soon to be honest," he added. "It's disappointing as we controlled the game and they got a lucky goal. I wouldn't even call it a chance and it was literally the only thing they conjured up in the game."
