MK Don vs Accrington Stanley - LIVE
63 mins: Changes are made
Dan Kemp and Ethan Robson make way for Harrison and Wearne. Can they make the difference?
Accrington make their third change too, with Alex Henderson on for Dan Martin
60 mins: Dons looking to make changes
This game is not changing any time soon, so Ellis Harrison and Stephen Wearne have been prepped to come on for Dons shortly
58 mins: Accrington's third yellow
They love a yellow card do Accrington, and they've just got another with Seamus Conneely downing Lofthouse
54 mins: Lofthouse puts it over
Good move, probably Dons' best of the game. Robson feeds Lofthouse, who in turn plays it to Payne. His deft flick behind him plays Lofthouse in on the edge of the box but he fires it over the bar
HALF-TIME: MK Dons 0-1 Accrington Stanley
Not a great half, and met with boos at the break as Dons trail.
No shots of which to speak, no seeming point of reference going forwards, and just off it all over the place.
Accrington not a lot better mind, Nolan's pea-roller the difference
45+3 mins: Ball's in the net
Ahhhh Joe Tomlinson just lets the ball go out of play before crossing, Kemp beats keeper Vitek to the ball and prods home but it's ruled out
42 mins: Dons starting to find their feet?
Over the last couple of minutes, the hosts have started to get on top here, and win a corner.
The ball bobbles around, Harvie nor Robson want to take a shot but Payne eventually does, though it's blocked at source
37 mins: Nothing is sticking
Dons just aren't at it here. They are struggling to get near the final third, and when they do, the final ball into the box is severely lacking.
Ethan Robson the latest to wildly overhit a cross.
29 mins: First booking of the day
Gilbey spreads the play to Lofthouse again, Gubbins then rugby tackles the Dons wing-back and goes into the book
27 mins: First decent Dons move
Good work from the home side, first time really creating anything in the final third. Joe Tomlinson the outlet on the left-hand side, his first cross is just behind the run of Kemp before the second is neither cross nor shot and goes just wide
25 mins: Early change for the visitors
Jay Rich-Bahuelou picks up a knock while fouling Kyran Lofthouse, and has to come off.
He's replaced by Arron Pickles
19 mins: Accrington in control
Despite Dons having all of their creative players on the pitch, it is the visitors who are dictating things here.
Too many cooks and all that.
11 mins: GOAL - Accrington open the scoring
What a bizarre goal. Jack Nolan was allowed to cut inside and run along the edge of the penalty are without much pressure, and he's taken aim from the corner of the D, it trickles along the floor and somehow finds the bottom corner.
Accrington are in front
