The
Dons have made a positive start to the season as they attempt to bounce back
into league 1 at the first attempt but manager Martin Allen was less than
complimentary of his side's performance in their 2-0 home defeat to
Peterborough last Friday.
"The players are disappointed but as manager it is my
responsibility and I know that it wasn't good enough, " said Allen. "If
you're going to go down, you have to at least give something and I learned a
lot about people in that last 20 minutes."
Martin Allen joined the Dons in the summer, replacing Danny
Wilson as manager who was dismissed after failing to keep them in league
1. Allen was in charge of Brentford last season and surprisingly
resigned his position after the Bees lost in last season's play off semi
final to Swansea.
The danger man for MK Dons is striker Izale McLeod who has found the back of
the net six times this season and he is supported by Clive Platt and Aaron
Wilbraham who have scored five each. McLeod joined the Dons from Derby
County in the summer of 2004. The former England under 21 international
scored 17 times in 33 starts for a team relegated last season and he has continued his
form into the new season and is close to averaging a goal every other league
game since joining for the Dons. |
