The 23-day break between league games is an annoyance for MK Dons

Defender Cohen Bramall said the lengthy break between league games for MK Dons is an irritation as their hunt for a win continues.

With games against both Bromley and Barnsley falling due to international call-ups, it leaves 23 days between League One outings for Bramall and his team-mates, leaving them stuck in the relegation zone despite losing only once in seven games this term.

While Dons have EFL Trophy to break things up a bit over the course of the three week gap, Bramall said the frustration within the dressing room will only be exacerbated without a game to make it right.

“It’s frustrating not to have another game now for a few weeks,” he said. “We don’t know where we’ll be in the table. It could be positive, it could be negative. We’ll just have to work in training and be braver.

“I feel like we’ve got so many more gears to go. I’m feeling really fresh even though I’ve played every game so far.

“The annoying thing about our situation is that we know we should have won three of the games - we should’ve beaten Wycombe, should’ve won at Oxford and against Peterborough. We’ve got so much more to give.

“We’ve got unbelievable players, unbelievable staff, and I can promise you, the fans will see it. It will click. I’m frustrated just talking about it, it’s so annoying because I know we can do it.

“I don’t want to ask the fans to be patient, because I’m very impatient, I just really want to win.”
