AccringtonStanley bossJohn Colemanhas warned his side to be wary of the ‘new manager bounce’ whenMK Donsvisit the Wham Stadium tomorrow.

Mike Williamson’s first game in charge, after taking over atStadium MKon Tuesday, sees Dons head toLancashireto take on Stanley, who were also relegated fromLeague Onelast season. Accrington are the highest of the relegated sides this season, sitting ninth in the table, four points and seven places above Dons.

After going eight games without a win in the division costGraham Alexanderhis job earlier this week, and with Williamson quickly drafted in to replace him, Coleman said Dons could look significantly different come kick-off on Saturday.

“He has good credentials, he knows the game and I wish him all the best, just not on Saturday,” said Coleman.

“You accept it will be something different, their players will be hearing a different voice and it often has the desired effect.

“But we have to play the way we know we can and we have got to improve in areas. We passed the ball well at times at Grimsby on Saturday but we know we can pass it better.

“We are still playing with younger players - we will show them, advise them, lead them down a decision-making process and hope they make the right decisions on Saturday.”
