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

One change at the interval, Bickerstaff makes way for Conneely

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

Three minutes to be added on

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.

34 mins: Another booking

Dan Martin into the book for Stanley for a foul on Lewis Bate

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

21 mins: Header wide

Tommy Leigh heads wide as he gets in behind Lewington at the far post

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

9 mins: Game settling down

Not a lot of quality on show so far in the opening nine minutes. Nothing really doing for either side, Dons struggling to get much going forward.
