Dons boss Brown calls for more clinical approach
TERRY Brown will be hoping that his AFC Wimbledon side find their all-important cutting edge when the Dons make their first Football League visit to Cheltenham tonight.
After a solid start to life following promotion via the Blue Square Bet Premier play-offs, a run which culminated in September's 4-1 thrashing of the Robins, the Dons have struggled for form.
-

Three successive wins boosted by a January recruitment drive were recorded before Brown's men put in a woeful performance against relegation battlers Northampton Town two weeks ago.
They bounced back from that defeat with a 1-1 draw against Morecambe on Saturday, but they had to rely on a late leveller from Rashid Yussuff to claim a share of the spoils.
Despite playing some flowing football, Brown was left to rue a number of chances that got away as Morecambe claimed a solid point.
"We didn't really finish off any of the moves, didn't really have a cutting edge and that's becoming a recurring theme I have to address," Brown said.
"I would have loved to have put another forward on and some fresh legs up there.
"We played really well for 60 minutes out there. I loved the football we played.
"Overall it was a really good performance, except when I made my substitutions when we looked all over the shop, so that's down to me because I made those substitutions."
Those substitutions saw the former Hayes and Aldershot boss withdraw Dons legend Jason Euell and January recruit Byron Harrison.
Euell, who played for the old Wimbledon club in the Premier League, is expected to retain his place at the top of a midfield diamond for the trip to the Abbey Business Stadium.
Up front, if Brown decides to keep faith with record signing Harrison he is set to partner Cheltenham summer transfer target Jack Midson, the Dons' leading scorer with 15 goals so far.
Yussuff, who like Midson scored in the 4-1 win over the Robins in September, will line up on the left of a midfield three alongside on-loan West Ham youngster George Moncur and Sammy Moore.
Right-back Sam Hatton returned to the side on Saturday and he will line up alongside centre-halves Mat Mitchel-King and Jamie Stuart and left-back Chris Bush in front of goalkeeper Seb Brown.
