Defensive rivals don't worry Rob

MK Dons boss Roberto Di Matteo is confident his side can deal with the defensive tactics that visiting teams may employ at stadium:mk.

Di Matteo: In confident mood

The Dons were subjected to their first home defeat since January against Swindon last week as the Robins defended doggedly before snatching a late winner.

However, as he looked ahead to Saturday's visit of Yeovil, Di Matteo insisted his men have the quality to break down opposition defences.

He said: "We're expecting the home games to be tough because teams will come here, put 10 men behind the ball and make it very difficult for us to find space.

"We know it's going to be like that, we just have to prepare for it and try to deal with it.

"Yeovil have got a few good players, but we're prepared for them. We've watched them a couple of times, the last time at Brentford on Tuesday, so we know one or two things about them."
