Charlton Athletic 0-2 MK Dons: Into the final throws at The Valley

Cool as you like, Watson ghosts in behind to get on the end of McEachran’s ball, flicks the ball from his left to his right and coolly rolls the ball into the corner of the net!

Some messy defending from the visitors as they just don’t want to clear it. Lewington is looking the weak link at the moment, with Charlton looking to exploit their pace advantage over him with regularity. A poor first touch from Gilbey though lets Dons off the hook though as a chance goes begging.

What a run by Connor Wickham though, he dances and bullies his way past two or three Charlton men before his effort is deflected over the bar.

Midway through the first half here, not a lot doing really. Good chance for Parrott, two Charlton crosses fizzed across the face of goal. That aside, a bit of a scrappy one.

Ooooh terrific ball from Coventry to Parrott, he’s in on goal but he gets the ball trapped in his feet and the keeper jumps on it. The wait for a goal goes on.

Not a lot really happening here, just a messy start from both sides really.

Leko, who scored the only goal in the Papa John’s Trophy game back in January, has got in behind but whipped his cross wildly out of play on the far side.

MK Dons get us underway

After scoring his first goal for the club at the weekend, Connor Wickham gets his first start for MK Dons at The Valley, replacing Mo Eisa up front. Kaine Kesler-Hayden also steps in for Daniel Harvie, who is suspended for the next two games.

MK Dons: Cumming, Lewington, O’Hora, Darling, Kesler-Hayden, Watson, Coventry, McEachran, Parrott, Twine, Wickham

Subs: Ravizzoli, Smith, Kasumu, Eisa, Corbeanu, Boateng, Kemp

Dons have been to some of the biggest arenas in League One this season, and more often than not have left with three points in their pockets.

On Saturday, they brushed aside Sunderland at the Stadium of Light to consolidate their third place in League One, and hope to add The Valley to their growing list of away day victories.
