Manning on Port Vale clash

MK Dons have to quickly move on from the defeat to Ipswich Town at the weekend to Port Vale at home on Tuesday night, Liam Manning says as the club seek their first points of the season

Every game is tough in this division. Darrell has done a great job not just getting them promoted but with the way they have started the season as well. They'll be difficult to play against, they have a clear identity and they're well organised and coached. But it is up to us to find our level. We have to respond from the weekend.

Stop comparing MK Dons this season to last

Liam Manning said MK Dons cannot afford to compare this season to last, given the amount of change his squad has had to go through. But given the transition, he says his players have no excuses for their poor performance against Ipswich Town on Saturday

It’s plain to see MK Dons are a different beast this season compared to last. With 13 new faces, it’s an almost entirely new squad, and Liam Manning feels there are different expectations on them as well.
