Manning on the Fleetwood match this afternoon
Liam Manning spoke to the media ahead of kick-off
Liam ManningWe'll do everything we can to win tomorrow - that's what everyone wants. We'll do everything in our power to win it. The biggest bit is understanding how to do it, stepping up and earning the right to do what we have to do.
Pressure only comes in if you allow it to. We want to move from where we are, but we have to understand how to do that. There's no secret to it, it won't be luck to get us out of it, but a bit of quality. And we could do with a bit of fortune from the referees to get the win that we need.

Smith returns from Qatar
Matt Smith is back from his World Cup adventure and determined to get MK Dons out of the League One relegation zone.
The 23-year-old hasn’t played for a month after joining Rob Page’s Wales side for the tournament in Qatar, but came back to the Dons fold this week eager to get back in the action.
But he returns to a side who remain in the relegation zone, sitting 22nd in League One, without a win in the division since he departed.
“My focus is back on MK and what we’ve got to do this season,” he said. “We know we have the talent and ability and the type of people you want when times get tough.
“We still have the same goal of trying to get out of the relegation zone, and anything can happen.
“I’m feeling good, I’ve kept up my fitness being over there despite not getting any game time. But I stayed behind and did extras after training to keep fitness up. I’m raring to go and looking forward to push on.”
