There have been plenty of disappointing moments in MK Dons’ history, and the topic of the play-offs is certainly one of them.
As they head into their sixth play-off campaign, beginning on Monday against Crawley Town, take a look back at the five previous attempts.
1. Shrewsbury Town - League Two - 2006/07
After finishing fourth, Martin Allen's Dons took on Shrewsbury Town in the semi-finals. Drawing 0-0 in the final game at Gay Meadow, Andy Cooke's brace at the National Hockey Stadium delivered Dons' first play-off heart break | Getty Images
2. Scunthorpe United - League One - 2008/09
Dons were on the brink of Championship football under Roberto di Matteo but dropped the ball late in the season to finish behind Leicester and rivals Peterborough. It set up a clash with Scunthorpe, and after a 1-1 draw at Glanford Park, the 0-0 draw back at Stadium MK sent the game to spot kicks.

3. Peterborough United - League One - 2010/11
Rivals Posh were back in League One looking for an immediate return to the Championship, but got the rub of the green at Stadium MK in the first-leg. Dons were leading 3-1 but a dreadful refereeing decision saw Stephen Gleeson sent off late for a foul which never was, earning Peterborough a penalty to pull it back to 3-2.

4. Huddersfield Town - League One - 2011/12
Huddersfield Town were the form team in the country heading into the play-off campaign, and gave themselves a huge advantage with a 2-0 win in the first-leg at Stadium MK. Despite Dons winning 2-1 at the Galpharm Stadium, the Terriers went on to secure promotion | Getty Images
