NEAL Ardley has warned his AFC Wimbledon side that Fleetwood will be no pushovers tomorrow.

The Dons head into the final game of the season knowing that victory will see them safe and secure their Football League status for another year.

Ardley’s side sit a point shy of Barnet and Dagenham & Redbridge in the race to beat the drop, with bottom-of-the-league Aldershot Town also taking the fight for survival to the final day.

Wimbledon face a Fleetwood side who have lost three on the spin and are without a win in their last five.

The Cod Army are set for a mid-table finish, but boss Ardley has warned his troops to be wary.

He told Dons Player : “I know that they have not been in good form and you are always going to talk up the opposition as a manager.

“But I have watched videos of them and they were very good against Chesterfield on Saturday. They could have been two or three up, but goals change games and they were 2-0 down at half-time.

“Fleetwood have got good players and a decent budget – they paid good money for a striker – and they are a big club.

“They just missed out on the play-offs and the league does not lie. Nothing to play for gives them a bit more freedom and if we are tense, then it can swing in their favour.

“There are a number of things that can happen and we can speculate on them all, but we have a job to do and we will try and send the boys out to do their jobs wholeheartedly.”

Ardley has called on his players to embrace the occasion in front of a packed 4,500 sell-out crowd at Kingsmeadow.

He added: “Someone said to me that in a way we are walking along a cliff.

“We can choose to look down and worry about how far we might fall or we can admire the view.

“We are trying to get the players to admire the view and embrace the pressure of it all. They must try and enjoy the fact that there will be over 4,500 of our supporters absolutely singing their hearts out and willing them on to do every single thing they can to win the game.

“That is a good way to go into a match with that support behind them.

“The players would need to have buried their heads under the sand not to know about the magnitude of this game.

“We have kept the boys bubbling and anybody that is around the place would not feel it is a team going into a war in the last game of the season.”
