Get in! Fantastic team performance.

In the first half we looked completely dominant. But as soon as the Dons changed formation at half-time, we looked second-best, and were lucky to get away with the win. This shouldn't have happened; we have a way better squad than them. Mr. Lambert?

Fantastic opening 20 minutes but tailed off thereafter.It was a bit desperate by the end.

Outstanding first half. Unlucky not to convert the two other chances we had. We undoubtedly lost something when Norwood went off. I don't think we've played too many minutes this season with him off the pitch so add to that Nolan and Huws starting for the first time in a while and some other changes - it left us looking very much like a team that hasn't played together all that much after he withdrew through injury. That being said - this game will only benefit us and all of the team and the squad of players and rotation. Huws looks very shy of match fitness and sharpness but showed some nice touches. Nolan does some nice pass and move stuff. Judge will surely have wanted to play in that 10 role though and if Norwood is injured this weekend then I suspect it will be Jackson up top on his own (Keane extremely short of match sharpness unsurprisingly - looked poor but some nice touches and will be better for the minutes) so maybe Judge will get his chance then.

Skuse was outstanding. Downes - oh downes wind your neck in, you should have been sent off last night for several incidents of retaliation and for constant back chat to the (terrible but League 1 standard) ref despite being spoken to several times. KVY was excellent - so so happy we've got him. Garbutt was rusty. Wilson and Chambers did well.

What I would ask for, Mr Evans and Mr Lambert - in January, (and I know Toto might be back) is an outfield player over 6ft and capable of wining a header! I can't remember either in this game or against Peterborough us winning a single one either in attack or defence. Gone is the set piece threat of Smith/Berra/Webster or the defensive clearances of those 3. If Wilson was a foot taller i'd sign him on a longer deal!

On the ref and the linesman - not just this game but against Posh too - I believe pushing in the back when jumping/competing for the ball must be allowed in League 1 because the refs never blow for it. And whilst Downes was wrong to lash out and complain - one foul not given against him followed by the same challenge on Edwards earning a foul followed by Downes getting fouled and doing nothing but the ref giving a mystifying free kick against him - can surely only mean he'd annoyed the ref so much that he then had it in for him!

Excellent start, quality finish by Nolan, not clinical enough thereafter in first half.
Lacked composure when we came under pressure second half.
Special mentions for KVY who was outstanding and Holy who was was alive when required and did not put a foot wrong.
Keane and Edwards had positions where it looked likely they could threaten MK in the second half but failed to do so in the main.
Georgiou almost certainly better than he showed last night and should perhaps start soon.
Excellent support, great celebrations.
