Expect rotation during Dons' hectic schedule

With two games per week for the next four weeks, Russell Martin says he will need to make use of all of his squad.

Back-to-back away games see Dons at Oxford tomorrow night and Blackpool on Saturday as the hectic schedule at the start of the season continues into November.

Fortunately, Dons' treatment room is being kept fairly quiet at the moment, with only Kieran Agard left on the sidelines as Ben Gladwin made a comeback on Saturday against Gillingham.

With an almost fully-fit squad at his disposal, Martin says naming an unchanged side during the next few weeks will be unlikely as he looks to keep everyone fit.

"It’s a nice problem to have having so many players," he said. "We are going to have to manage the squad, it’s really difficult for the players to go Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday for the next few weeks but we’ve got quality to do it. We’ve got trust in the group and we’ll show that by the way the team is selected in the next few weeks.

"I’d love to play the same 11, but with that many games, it’ll be difficult for the same team to play every week. You risk losing players, we’ve got a brilliant medical group, we make sure we have the best use of the squad moving forward and it’s up to the players to be ready to play."
