I expect the Dons to get 8 or 10 points start tomorrow but that wouldn't be enough to tempt me in.

Here's Dewsbury's record:

Home: 12, 10, 10, 6, 6 and 0
Away: 26, 18, 16, 6, 6, and 4

Conceded 20+ points: Dons 50%, Oldham 50%, Dewsbury 9%.

Conceded fewer than 10 points: Dons 10%, Oldham 10%, Dewsbury 50%.

Being able to score points is important but not conceding points is probably even more important. Our defence looks vulnerable against sides we should be able to shut out. Against better sides, you can't give them a head start or else there is likely to be no way back.

The evidence suggests tomorrow could be a high scoring game. We'll see!
