Grimsby Town vs MK Dons - LIVE

FULL TIME: Grimsby 1-0 MK Dons

A thoroughly disappointing night for MK Dons as they lose here tonight - three defeats in a row at Blundell Park.

Way off it all over the park, and barely created a chance all night.

Four minutes to be added on

82 mins: Grimsby hit the post

Pyke immediately involved, Williams lucky not to give away a penalty as he blocks him but the ball bounces out to Clifton who strikes and it hits the post

Rekeil Pyke will replace Justin Obikwu.

Big ten minutes needed now for Dons to try and get something from this game

75 mins: Attendance

Attendance: 5,659 (153)

72 mins: Another Grimsby change

Skipper Holohan makes way for Kieran Green

70 mins: Everything is just off tonight

Nothing MK Dons seem to do is working. Passes are a yard too long, touches are too heavy, tackles just too late.

Emre Tezgel won the ball in the centre circle, it opened up in front of him but in feeding Dennis, sent the striker too far wide with his pass.

Feels like one of those nights

61 mins: Grimsby make changes

Wood and Andrews replace Eisa and Gnhoua

59 mins: Dons make a double change

Matt Dennis and Emre Tezgel replace Ellis Harrison and Dan Kemp

56 mins: Cartwright saves

Dons really piling on the pressure there, Gilbey's cross finds Kemp at the far post, he shoots on the turn but Cartwright saves

53 mins: Dons lock them in

Good spell of pressure from Dons but they just cannot create a chance, a lot of huff and puff around the edge of the Grimsby box

50 mins: No penalty

Would have been a soft one but Gilbey goes over in the box, challenged fairly according to the referee for a corner. Harvie though heads it wide

Back underway at Blundell Park, Dons need to really pick it up this half

HALF TIME: Grimsby Town 1-0 MK Dons

Lucky to be only a goal down at the break in the end, Kelly saving the penalty at the death of the half after giving it away.

Dons have struggled to create anything of note, but trail to Obikwu's goal

It's straight at him! Kelly punches it away, second penalty save in a week

45+1 min: Penalty to Grimsby

Kelly takes a touch, Obikwu takes it off his toe, Kelly looks to clear and swipes the striker down

Penalty to the hosts

One minute to be added on

Things just aren't sticking for Dons in this first-half. Wearne has a go after being slid in by Payne's free-kick, but his shot hits a Grimsby man, bounces back off Wearne and out
