The Dons drew 1-1 with Charlton last night as their disastrous run without a league win extended to 22 matches. Wimbledon have been in freefall and are four points from safety with five games left.
Relegation rivals Morecambe and Fleetwood both picked up favourable results last night, which dragged them further away from the relegation zone.
The game against Charlton was Bowen’s first home match in charge of the Dons since replacing Mark Robinson last week, having suffered a last-gasp defeat by Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday.
The former Reading boss said: “To give ourselves any chance, we have got to start winning games. It’s certainly not all over.
“We have got five games left, and we have got to win a couple of them, at least.”
Wimbledon host arch-rivals MK Dons on Saturday before facing Crewe, Wycombe, Fleetwood and Accrington Stanley before the end of the season.
