MK Dons came close to promotion last season but fell at crucial times. With some tweaks and improvements though, they could be right in the title fight next term.
We’ve taken a look at some of the areas where MK Dons must sharpen up in order to be contenders.
5. Away form
While certainly not the worst in the division, Dons lost ten times on the road last term and made life difficult for themselves in the fight for automatic promotion with some of those defeats, losing to teams they really should not have been losing to. With home form strong, wins on the road will be integral in the title fight | Jane Russell
6. An option to switch it up
Veering off the path is not something managers want nowadays, but sometimes, an alternative approach is needed. Dons will stick to their passing style regardless, and that is absolutely fine, but against a pressing or physical side, or one which goes man-for-man, it makes life hard. Add to that a typical League Two pitch in winter, it doesn't always correlate. Finding solutions to those problems while sticking to the mythical 'MK Way' will only aid them | Jane Russell
