4 mins: Dons on the front foot
Some shaky defensive stuff from Forest Green early on has given Dons a bit of a sense of it early on. A Payne corner pinged around in the box, Keogh just about able to get it away
Two former Dons in the Forest Green side
Familiar faces are in the Rovers team this afternoon from an MK Dons persuasion - both Jordan Moore-Taylor and Richard Keogh start for Steve Cotterill’s men.
Keogh made 21 appearances in the Covid hit 2020/21 season before before signing for Huddersfield Town, while Moore-Taylor helped Dons to promotion in 2018/19, making 41 appearances in his two years at Stadium MK
The goalkeeping conundrum was one which was hanging over Mike Williamson after he swapped Filip Marschall and Michael Kelly on Easter Monday, but the Irishman was back in again for the trip to the New Lawn, as were Dean Lewington and Jack Tucker.
Lewington was making his first start since mid-February when he was sent off against Wrexham. Tucker meanwhile had been out since November with an ankle injury, which required surgery.
Dan Kemp and Cameron Norman are the two to miss out.
TEAM: Kelly, Lewington, Tucker, O'Hora, Harvie, Lofthouse, Payne, Bate, Gilbey, Wearne, Dean
SUBS: Marschall, Norman, Williams, Harrison, Robson, Tezgel, Kemp
What becomes of the goalkeeping position?
Will it be Michael Kelly, or will it be Filip Marschall in goal for MK Dons this afternoon?
The Aston Villa loanee hasn’t covered himself in glory since his arrival, and was the figure of villainy against Notts County on his return to the side on Monday.
But he was brought in on the basis that he would be the number one choice. Kelly though has been a decent performer this season since stepping in, so the decision in about 15 minutes will be an interesting one.
