The quest for a victory takes Alan Pardew and West Ham to unfamiliar territory tonight, but there will be no change in the team's approach.
Hammers go to Milton Keynes where they visit Wimbledon's new home for the first time knowing that only a convincing win will calm the growing unease after six draws in the last seven games.
However Pardew is determined not to let his obvious frustration at the winless run push him into rash changes.
"There is only one game plan," he said. "We have to play the game properly, work 100 per cent and maintain our discipline.
"There have been times in the last few games where that hasn't taken place and I have to instill it around the place."
Meanwhile skipper Christian Dailly is confident that the goals will come even though striker Jermain Defoe is sitting out a long suspension.
The youngster was scouting the Dons alongside Roger Cross at the weekend and will not return to action until December 13.
But Dailly is banking on fit-again forward David Connolly to make up for this.
