MK Dons 0-0 Lincoln City - LIVE

FULL TIME: MK Dons 0-0 Lincoln City

Not a great game from either side, a really hard game to take much enjoyment from to be quite honest! But it’s a point on the board and it moves Dons to within two points of safety

Six minutes will be added on

82 mins: Dennis with a couple of chances

He’s been a livewire since coming on, and twice Matt Dennis has efforts on goal, the first is deflected out for a corner before the second makes it’s way to him, and his strike is on target but caught above his head by keeper Rushworth

80 mins: Into the closing stages

Still nothing to really hang your hat off in this game for either side. Neither side really on top, Dons looking full of energy but not really doing much with it.

75 mins: The first booking of the game

Josh McEachran into the book for MK Dons after a poor ball to him by Devoy was a suicide pass and Poole nipped just in front.

67 mins: Grigg does come on

Grigg now replaces the injured Holland.

Concerning that after two weeks of Mark Jackson’s new, more intense training, we’ve seen three Dons players limp out.

65 mins: Another injury for MK Dons

Once again, McEachran wins the ball in the centre of the park but he looks up and there’s no movement and option to offload to.

MK Dons now worrying on the fitness of Nathan Holland as he too goes down injured. Will Grigg prepped to come on for him

58 mins: Dennis comes close

Eisa in behind OH but his pass across the face of goal is just out reach of Dennis.

MK Dons‘ best move of the game

56 mins: Double change

Ethan Robson has gone down injured and will have to make way, Bradley Johnson comes on to replace him.

And Louie Barry comes off to be replaced by Matt Dennis

46 mins: Cumming makes the save

Jack Diamond dances through the challenges there to get into the Dons area, and gets a shot away which Cumming tips around the post for a corner, which amounts to nothing

Back underway, Lincoln restart the game

HALF TIME: MK Dons 0-0 Lincoln City

Not an inspiring half at all, and a few boos from the Cowshed. I think maybe two shots all half, both from Lincoln, neither really worth remembering. Not a lot of change.

So frustrating from MK Dons again - they’re shaping to counter but there just isn’t any pace and drive from the midfield and Robson slows it and brings the game back into their own half. Groans from the crowd as they want to see a bit more cut and thrust

41 mins: A shot on goal!

A shot! Lincoln’s Mandriou has a dig from the edge of the box, Cumming fumbles with it before gathering

37 mins: A bit stale

No movement for MK Dons in front of Jules there as he looked to pass it on. Not exactly enthralling stuff from the home side as yet.

Home fans trying to lift the player and kick them into action

30 mins: The change confirmed

Jules does now replace O’Hora at the centre of the defence.

27 mins: Trouble for O’Hora

The Irishman goes down thumping the ground holding his foot. He gets treatment and tries to carry on, but he’s made it 10 yards onto the pitch before going down again.

Zak Jules is hurriedly getting ready to replace him.

20 mins: A settled pace

It’s looking more evenly matched now, Lincoln have started to get their feet under the table a bit more now with a series of corner, none have amounted to anything really.
