MK Dons boss: Kenny Jackett is a winner

Karl Robinson's team have been in and around the bottom three all season.

But a remarkable resurgence from rivals Rotherham United (who under Neil Warnock have won 16 points from the last 18 available) coupled with Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Fulham sees MK Dons four points off the safety line.

A candid Robinson admitted on Saturday that his team may have been promoted from League One a year early.

That's not to say they're giving up their Championship status yet though; far from it.

And he'll be desperate for three points against Wolves on Tuesday night.

Robinson told the Milton Keynes Citizen: "Of course we're all frustrated, no-one is dodging that or hiding from it. We're so close. I understand the frustration.

"Rotherham's games have been very unique. I heard Neil Warnock say everything is falling for them right now. The ball just isn't falling for us at the moment.

"But if you start worrying about others, teams like Wolves will love it because they'll think we're not 100 per cent focused on them.

"Maybe we got promoted a year too early.

"We accepted the praise last year, but we have to accept the criticism this year.

"We have to look at why that is, and we have to be honest internally.

"Was bringing in the players in the summer and letting them go the right thing to do? Should we have put all that money into one player?

"We know the answers, but we have to sit down now and take a look at what direction we're going in."

The Dons claimed a spirited 0-0 draw at Molineux in the reverse fixture last November.

Robinson will want to see more of the same battling qualities tomorrow night – and says Wolves and Kenny Jackett will be no pushovers despite having little to play for.

"Any team is beatable," he added. "Kenny is a winner. He's already said he's planning for next season.

"He's in the process of turning the club around. It's refreshing, but his players are playing for their place next year.

"I've not even looked at where they are in the league, I don't really worry about that. I look at the way they play.

"We try and tactically stop them, but there will be elements we can exploit. Wolves won't be coming here to sit on the beach, that's for sure."
