Mark Jackson’s men turned in an especially uninspired first-half showing, which saw them fall behind to Aaron Donnelly’s 23rd minute strike.
Failing to register an effort on goal until the 54th minute and marking only one on target all afternoon, Dons fell four points from safety in their bid to avoid relegation to League Two.
Here’s how we rated the players.

2. Jack Tucker - 5
Never looked comfortable in the centre of a back three in the first-half, settled more in the second-half in a four Photo: Pete Norton

4. Tennai Watson - 4.5
Wasn't fully sure of his role at centre-back in the first-half, and his passing was all over the show throughout Photo: Clive Mason
