IF Neil Shipperley's record for the season is anything to go by, he will be bidding to launch a raid of terror on the Burnley defence tomorrow.

For the 28-year-old has grabbed 24 goals in all competitions - his best tally for one season in his entire career. And his partnership with Irishman David Connolly currently stands at 46.

And with the chance to sign off from their 13-year stint at Selhurst Park, after leaving Plough Lane in 1991, with their 100th league win, they will be looking to net a few more before heading off to their controversial new ground at the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes.

Burnley too have their own hotshots in Gareth Taylor and Robbie Blake, who have scored 17 and 16 respectively this season.

But after leaking seven goals against Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday, resulting in them having the worst defensive record in the league ahead of relegated Grimsby, Wimbledon's focus will be on the Clarets' defence.

And after both goalkeepers, Nik Michopoulos and Marlon Beresford, and captain Steve Davis were put on the transfer list this week, Wimbledon will be more confident of bowing out of Selhurst Park in style.

More so after beating Ipswich 5-1 last weekend.

"It really has been an incredible season for both myself and David," said the former Chelsea, Southampton, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Barnsley striker.

"It's been a pleasure playing alongside him. It's a great partnership and I can't think of one I've had with any other player in my career that even comes near it.

"To score the amount of goals we have together is brilliant and we're both delighted.

"The way we've gelled couldn't have gone any better. We've got one more game to go this season and hopefully we can score another couple, end on a

high and go away for the summer taking a lot of heart from what we've done."

Like Burnley, Wimbledon have been disappointed with the way their season has panned out. And, similarly, they are looking to rebuild and regroup ready to mount a serious promotion push next term.

"We're not happy with the position we've finished in this season," he said.

"We all feel that we should be pushing on towards the play-offs at least, and results like last Saturday's 5-1 win at Ipswich just underline that.

"We had Lionel Morgan, Joel McAnuff, Jermaine Darlington, Darren Holloway and Damien Francis out for that game but still beat one of the best teams

in the league by a huge margin on their own pitch - that tells you something about the quality we have."

He added: "I think given what has happened at Wimbledon this season, the situation with the supporters, you have to be realistic about things.

"Next season we can be ambitious. We'll be at Milton Keynes and hopefully we'll get more fans at the new ground.

"There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be looking to be in the play-offs and challenging for the

Premiership, in fact that is what we fully expect to be doing."

The Dons are expected to be without the same five who missed the Ipswich game, although Francis has a chance of making a comeback following an ankle injury.

Wimbledon manager Stuart Murdoch said: "We are after the three points and want to finish as high as we can.

"But Burnley will have had a roasting after last week's result so we know it's going to be tough."
