MK Dons boss Mike Williamson says his side will have to fight for every ball if they are to continue their run of form.
They face Barrow AFC at Holker Street tomorrow having won four of their last six league games.
However, the former Newcastle United defender is under no doubts about the test ahead of them.
Speaking to MK Dons official website, he said: “It is going to be difficult there. They are extremely well organised, they’ve got some real strength and experience in their team and in their squad, so we know how hard it is going to be.
“We know how well they have been doing, and how well we are going to have to play to take any points from the game.
“I think you can see from their games that they are extremely disciplined, and they are very consistent and that’s why they are where they are.
“They’ve got a group who all want to win, and when they have been given a gameplan like they have, and the manager has obviously done very well, then they are going to be very hard to beat and become a force.
“We know we have got to focus on how we play front to back and we have got make sure we hit the standards we have set.”
