MK Dons

There looks to be an end in sight to Dons' striker shortage as Rhys Healey and Sam Nombe returned to the training ground this week.

The game may have been a dead-rubber, but Russell Martin used the Leasing.com Trophy game against Wycombe on Tuesday as another chance for players to prove themselves to him ahead of their massive game with bottom club Bolton on Saturday.

Two brilliant second-half goals from Wycombe Wanders ensured Dons' winless run continued after a 2-1 defeat in the Leasing.com Trophy.

An agreement made nearly 15 years ago saw Dean Thornton arrive at MK Dons as the new goalkeeping coach.

There will be next to nothing to play for when Wycombe Wanderers visit Stadium MK on Tuesday night to take on MK Dons.

Russell Martin hopes he can make the transition from player to manager as well as Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth.

Rome wasn't built in a day, or even after three days on the training pitch, so Saturday's FA Cup defeat to Port Vale on Saturday will not be the end of the world for Russell Martin.

MK Dons marked Remembrance Sunday with a tribute ahead of their FA Cup first round game with Port Vale at Stadium MK on Saturday.

Port Vale manager John Askey felt his side never looked in trouble after they beat MK Dons 1-0 at Stadium MK to progress into the second round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

It was not the fairy tale start to managerial life for Russell Martin as MK Dons lost 1-0 to Port Vale on Saturday, going out of the FA Cup.

After just three days on the training pitch with their new manager, Alex Gilbey is already seeing differences in the way MK Dons play.

Russell Martin said Dons looked anxious in the final third against Port Vale but felt there were plenty of positives to take despite being knocked out of the FA Cup.

Russell Martin's tenure in charge of MK Dons got off to a losing start on Saturday as League Two Port Vale were 1-0 winners at Stadium MK.
