'Patchy' MK Dons' promotion changes are 'far from a done deal'

The pundit spoke about League Two’s intriguing promotion race

Not being able to put a lengthy winning run together has been MK Dons’ biggest downfall this season, according to EFL pundit Don Goodman.

Paul Warne’s side saw their winning streak come to an end at three on Saturday when they chucked away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 away at Grimsby Town - who themselves saw a six-game winning run come to an end in the process.

The midweek fixtures saw Dons drop down to sixth as their rivals played their games in hand on Tuesday night, leaving five teams separated by just three points.

Goodman, the former Wolves and Sunderland striker, told NewBettingSites Dons have shown ‘patchy’ form through the season and their campaign could hinge on some big games coming up.

He said: “As for MK Dons, they’ve got a squad full of experienced pros, but their form has been patchy. Their best winning streak was four in a row back in the autumn, and most of the time, it’s just been two consecutive wins. They’re unbeaten in four, though now.

“However, they still have four away games against other top-six teams, and those could be decisive. So while MK Dons are strong, it’s far from a done deal. Like all of the leagues, League Two has absolutely intriguing situations and the battle for promotion is no different.”

Dons take on Cheltenham Town on Saturday, having beaten them 5-0 at Stadium MK earlier this season.
