Allen plays down chances

MK Dons boss Martin Allen has played down talk of the club securing an unlikely automatic promotion spot on the final day of the season.
The Dons' 2-0 victory at Wycombe last weekend kept alive their hopes of pipping Swindon Town to third place in the League Two table, but Allen has reminded fans that the Robins require only one point from their final match of the season to seal automatic promotion.
Allen's side must defeat Accrington Stanley at the National Hockey Stadium and hope Swindon lose at home to Walsall.
"For the players, all the supporters and maybe even the staff on Saturday afternoon, everyone was, at the end of that game, up in the clouds," he told the club's official website.
"However, it was only three points and there is no doubt about it, that we are still the underdogs to get promoted.
"They (Swindon) only need one point from their home game and we need to score several and not concede any. It all has to be kept in perspective.
"I'm not being a killjoy. I'm being realistic."
