We've got a debut for the blog today; a report from our MK Dons reporter, Matt Delaney. You can read his match reports most months in the Phonebox magazine, but this month, the timings of going to print mean it's earnt a place online instead! Enjoy!
"MK Dons failed to get on the home score sheet yet again in a must win game, against local rivals Peterborough, whilst on their quest for promotion to the Championship. Peterborough strengthened their play-off hopes courtesy of two quick fire second half goals from Britt Assombolonga to sail to a 2-0 victory at Stadium:MK.

Both keepers
had to be on their toes in the early stages of the game with David Martin
having to tip over a stinging volley by Nick Ajose and Robert Olejnik diving
well to get his hand to a well worked free kick from Ryan Hall to keep the game
at deadlock in the first 20 minutes.
No team
could grasp the first half by the neck and take command, possession was being
given away cheaply by both teams and not many chances were being created. MK
did , however, have the best chance of the half when Jordan Spence made a solo
charge from the back line to the Posh penalty area then played it to Odelusi
who fashioned a chance for himself out of nothing but shot just wide with
Olejnik sprawling desperately to cover his goal.
