AFC Wimbledon midfielder Jake Reeves says the team will be up for the Portsmouth game this weekend – if they are not, they should get lost.
Following last weekend’s FA Cup exit at the hands of non-League Forest Green Rovers, the Dons return to League Two duty on Saturday.
They travel to Hampshire to face title-chasing Portsmouth who lost their last league outing at Notts County, while the Dons boast three consecutive wins.

Reeves said: “Obviously we were hurting after the cup defeat, we wanted to go as far and do as well as we possibly could.
“The first 10 minutes we started a bit slow and then we got it going and I thought we controlled the game after that.
“But it’s stupid decisions at the end that have given a goal away after giving away little free-kicks when we don’t need to.”
He added: “It won’t be difficult to get back up for Portsmouth and if any player is struggling to get up for that then they shouldn’t be playing football professionally.”
