Season goes Pear Shape!

Milton Keynes Dons 1 Darlington 0
Clive Platt's 57th minute header sealed a 1-0 victory for MK Dons over Darlington to end their four-match run without a win, keeping their faint automatic promotion hopes alive. But it didn't do anything for our team as we see that play off place drifting into the distance!
Theres not much that can be said as, as like recent games we allowed the opposition to take charge as we nervously dropped back to defence. The Dons dominated the first half and we were lucky in the end only to have one scored against us.
All the defensive-minded Quakers could muster in the first half was a long-range strike from Julian Joachim that he dragged well wide.
As the second half started we seemed to adopt a more attacking approach with Marcus Phillips heading Rory Prendergast's in-swinging corner just over the bar.
But the Dons sealed things in the 57th minute when Platt nipped in ahead of his marker to head Knight's pin-point cross past Russell from eight yards for his 17th goal of the season.
The Quakers battled but could do nothing to stop the recent rot.
