MK Dons are without a win in seven League One games this season after being held to a 0-0 draw by AFC Wimbledon at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.<\/p>\n
The hosts could have taken an early lead when Myles Hippolyte put Callum Maycock through on goal but his effort sailed over the crossbar.<\/p>\n
They went close again in the 11th minute when Jayden Stockley flicked a header into the path of Steve Seddon, whose effort at the back post forced a superb save from Will Dennis.<\/p>\n
The ball fell at the feet of Callum Paterson in the 32nd minute, only for the MK Dons star to fire a shot straight down the throat of Joe Bursik.<\/p>\n
After a fiery start to the second half, Bursik made another crucial intervention to clear Aaron Collins’ cut-back before it drifted into the path of Sam Nombe.<\/p>\n
Alistair Smith almost sent the Cherry Red Records Stadium into a state of ecstasy in the 72nd minute but his long-range thunderbolt drifted wide of the top-right corner.<\/p>\n
Stockley got on to the end of a delightful delivery into the box as the half progressed, but he could not turn the ball towards goal from close range.<\/p>\n
Both sides pushed for a winner as the contest drew to a close but the decisive goal never came, leaving MK Dons with six draws and one defeat in their opening seven fixtures.<\/p>\n
Wimbledon <\/em>boss Johnnie Jackson<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Pride [is my overriding emotion], to be honest. I think this game always brings out the best of us at this football club. I think that was on show again tonight. On the pitch, in the stands.<\/p>\n “I am a bit gutted we did not win it but I am pleased we did not lose it. So yeah, a bit of a mixed bag to be honest but I could not ask any more of the boys.<\/p>\n “I am super proud of them. They caused us some problems for the first 20 minutes of the second half.<\/p>\n “I think we made some adjustments on the pitch and the lads got to grips with it.<\/p>\n “I think we grew back into the half, we needed to get a little bit more control with the ball, which we started to do and then we had threats on the counter-attack.<\/p>\n “I felt like by the end of the game, if someone was going to win it it was going to be us, but you are only a moment away from a set-piece or a long throw and I was really happy with how we stood up to that.”<\/p>\n MK Dons<\/em> boss Paul Warne<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n “I really enjoyed it, I don’t know why. I built it up in my head like people would be trying to hit me with flamethrowers or darts or something and I was going to be coming out with my neck in bits. But everyone has been really nice, I found it weird to be honest.<\/p>\n “I was prepared. Everywhere I went I was tense and I was prepared to tell people to leave me alone but there was not any of that.<\/p>\n “Both sets of fans were loud, but those are the games you want to be in.<\/p>\n “My memory is horrific. I’m not making a joke about it, I can’t remember many games, but I will remember this one and hopefully later on I will remember the home game and I will remember it because we won.<\/p>\n “It was how football should be, it was loud, it was a bit aggressive, and two sets of committed players.”<\/p>\nWhat the result means and next fixtures…<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
