Huddersfield Town manager Martin Drury has warned his players to avoid 'chaos' when facing Milton Keynes Dons, comparing the Dons to last season’s League One champions Lincoln City. The MK Dons, managed by Paul Warne and his long-time assistant Richie Barker, are seen as a direct and physical threat capable of challenging for promotion. Drury, who won his first league game as head coach on Saturday, highlighted the Dons’ strength in high-pressure moments and their ability to wear opponents down. 'They’re reminiscent of Lincoln last season – very direct, big, strong, and good in chaos moments,' Drury said. The Dons, who finished second in League Two under Warne in 2025-26, have bolstered their squad with ambitious signings and are expected to compete at the top of the table by 2026-27. Drury emphasized the need for respect and tactical discipline, noting the Dons’ proven track record under Warne and Barker, who previously worked at Rotherham United. 'They’ll be right up there at the end of the season,' Drury predicted, adding that the Dons’ staff and squad make them a formidable challenge. The Terriers’ recent run of matches against direct opponents like Preston North End and Wimbledon suggests they are preparing for a tough test against the Dons.
