From the edge of the Championship to the depths of League Twoīy any stretch, MK Dons' demise this season has been alarming.Īfter missing automatic promotion to the second tier by one point and losing in the play-offs last season, hopes would have been high of another tilt at the Championship this term.Ĭhairman Pete Winkelman's pledge to "renew their focus" on promotion amplified those expectations but cracks in that plan soon showed.

John Brayford and Mark Helm both shot straight at keeper Jamie Cumming as Burton threatened.īut the visitors continued to have the upper hand with Zac Ashworth making a crucial block to deny Leko as time ticked by, before substitute Devoy went even closer when his shot thumped the post late on. Jonathan Leko finally got an effort on goal but was denied by the outstretched leg of MacGillivray, who then pulled off an excellent save to keep out Sullay Kaikai's curling effort. The visitors had the better early chances in a nervy first half, shooting wide on several occasions including when Paris Maghoma and Conor Grant both failed to hit the target when well placed. Mark Jackson's Dons side piled forward throughout but a lack of composure and an inspired display from keeper Craig MacGillivray kept them out.

Cambridge survive after win over Forest Greenĭons should have been celebrating their survival but missed countless opportunities, most notably when substitute Dawson Devoy crashed a shot off the left-hand post and the Brewers somehow survived an almighty injury-time goalmouth scramble.

Morecambe's defeat away against Exeter City ensured their relegation and sees Dons join them after Cambridge eased to an expected victory over already doomed Forest Green. With Accrington all but relegated because of their vastly inferior goal difference and their opponents Oxford as good as safe, Dons were realistically battling it out with Cambridge and Morecambe to remain in the division. But a combination of wayward finishing, bad luck and some desperate defending saw them fail to find the goal which would have been good enough to preserve their third-tier status.
