Good Friday draw a huge disappointment for Dons defender

Jack Sanders felt MK Dons did more than enough to win the Good Friday game against Barrow, which saw them draw a blank in a 0-0 draw at Stadium MK.

Despite having nearly 70 per cent of possession, they only managed 16 efforts on goal, with only five on target on Wyll Stanway’s net, with a Joe Tomlinson header tipped over in stoppage time the best of the bunch.

There was added disappointment in the Dons camp afterwards, having seen other results from their promotion rivals making their goal-less draw against a team in the relegation zone all the more frustrating.

“It was a tough game, we’re massively disappointed, frustrated with the result,” said Sanders. “We weren’t at our best but it was clear to see we were the better side.

“We had countless opportunities to put the ball in the net, and that’s why we’re really disappointed. I think if we had got one, we’d have gone on to get more, but we didn’t get the all-important one, and that’s the deciding factor of the game.

“It’s a disappointing outcome. We had so many box entries, a lot of set-pieces and chances on another day that we’d put in the net.”

The Easter fixtures see Dons back in action on Monday when they take on in-form Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park.

Sanders said: “We’ve got a huge game on Monday now where we have to get it right for the fans and put a really good performance on.

“Oldham got a really good result against Colchester, and they’ll be coming into this game all guns blazing. It’s at their place, where they’re in really good form at the minute. It will be a really good game. Every game has difficulties, and Monday will be no different.”
