Neal Ardley has backed Matt Tubbs to end his barren spell in front of goal.
The AFC Wimbledon striker hasn’t scored in six games following a storming start to his Dons career.
However, Ardley, who is desperate to keep hold of the on-loan Bournemouth frontman, reckons Tubbs can hit the 20-goal mark.
He said: “Even though he’s had a little bit of a spell where he hasn’t scored, he still looks like he’s going to and I’m sure that he will turn around and he will be a 20-goal-a-season striker.”
Ardley will check on his walking wounded in training this morning before making a decision on his squad to face Dagenham tomorrow.
The Kingsmeadow chief revealed some of his men are playing through the pain barrier after a hectic run of fixtures has stretched his squad to the limit.
He added: “We’ve got four games in 12 days. Some players are playing on painkillers at the moment, but what can you do? It’s hard to get any rest and recovery into them.”
