I expect Ipswich to be right up the top of League One this season. They’ve got a very strong squad, some top players at that level as well. I know their manager Kieran McKenna well and he had them playing some nice stuff towards the end of last season, and I’m sure they’ll start the season well. They’ll see it as a good test for them and it certainly is for us as well. ” While for many Dons fans it will be the first opportunity to look at new recruits Alex Pearce and Chris Gunter in Wimbledon colours, there will be a few absentees from the line-up. “Alex Woodyard has got a calf issue, which needs managing conservatively for now, ” explained Johnnie.
“It’s something I’ve been looking forward to. Obviously, I’ve been to the stadium and looked around and had a taste of it last season in the away dugout with Charlton. To be in the home dugout, in front of our own supporters, getting back to our home and on our pitch, I’m really, really excited! “It will be a tough test.
