Though not a classic against Newport County at Stadium MK, the former Rotherham United and Derby County man was relatively pleased with the reaction of his side.
Here’s how we rated the players.

How we rated the MK Dons players during the goal-less draw with Newport County | Jane Russell

2. Craig MacGillivray - 7.5
Not a vast amount to do, in truth. Gathered a few crosses and free-kicks in the sky, no nonsense distribution. Also came for a couple of potential one-on-one opportunities bravely | Jane Russell

3. Luke Offord - 6.5
A textbook Offord performance, giving up precious little | Jane Russell

4. Jack Sanders - 6.5
A physical afternoon, battling against both Baker-Richardson and Hudlin but coming out on top | Jane Russell
