MK Dons miss out on playoff final despite dominant performance ... (MKFM)

Milton Keynes Dons will play League One football next season after missing out on reaching the playoff final, despite a dominant showing against Wycombe ...

The Dons' Player of the Year was unable to hit the target as he saw his effort float over the crossbar. Manning and his team gave the Dons fans something they have not had since the days of Karl Robinson - hope. Corbeanu attempted to cross the ball into the box but saw his effort block, forcing him to slide a pass to Hiram Boateng. Twine once again took it, but the ball curled too much and hit the side netting - with Stockdale requiring treatment for his attempted save. While the home side remained firmly on top, they still had not found that needed second goal with 15 minutes remaining. Wycombe's first real threat came from a corner in the 21st minute.

SlipsTips Tips: MK Dons vs Wycombe Wanderers Bet Builder (MrFixItsTips)

SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder from MK Dons' League One playoff semi-final second-leg with Wycombe on Sunday...

With all things considered, the aforementioned 10/11 ( Bet 365) Bet Builder looks a nice way in given that we have all the necessary ingredients required for an action-packed contest at Stadium MK on Sunday night. That being said, Gareth Ainsworth's guests are now unbeaten in 13 matches so I’m happy to steer clear of the 1×2 betting and instead divert into the Bet Builder market and merge over four MK Dons corners and over two match cards at 10/11 ( Bet 365). MK Dons will have to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit at home to Wycombe Wanderers on Sunday night if they want to reach the English League One playoff final.

Troy Parrott goal not enough for MK Dons as Wycombe progress (BT Sport)

The hosts continued to press after the restart, and it took a brilliant last-ditch challenge from Wycombe captain Joe Jacobson to get in the way of Parrott’s effort. It was part of a frantic start by the Dons, who appeared to be men in a hurry, and they had another half-chance when Dan Harvie flicked a header wide from Twine’s free-kick. The Dons placed the Chairboys under severe pressure for the majority of the contest at Stadium MK, but all they had to show for their efforts was Troy Parrott’s header in the first half.

But even in the second half we came out on the front foot and got in some really dangerous areas. The last line of defence whenever the backline got breached in front of him, Stockdale made some key saves and managed his area superbly. They played, they rotated, but my boys were so resolute it was unbelievable. Sometimes you don't always get what you deserve, and we dominated and created the most chances over the two legs. I'm hugely proud of the lads for how we went about it all season and throughout the two legs. MK Dons' Liam Manning: "Of course I'm disappointed and frustrated, but I think you have to step back sometimes and look at the bigger picture.

Parrott strikes but MK Dons beaten in play-offs (RTE.ie)

Wycombe reached a second League One play-off final in three seasons despite falling to a 1-0 defeat in the second leg of their semi-final against MK Dons.

The breakthrough they deserved came after 26 minutes when Hiram Boateng’s ball into the box picked out Parrott coming around the back and his header looped in over Stockdale. MK Dons came within inches of halving the deficit within 65 seconds of the kick-off when Harry Darling’s header from a Scott Twine corner looped against the bar. The Dons placed the Chairboys under severe pressure for the majority of the contest at Stadium MK, but all they had to show for their efforts was Republic of Ireland international Troy Parrott's header in the first half.

Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth lauded the resilience of his players after they absorbed some heavy pressure from MK Dons to reach the League One play-off ...

“You have to suck it up and come out tougher and harder and better the other side. “I’ve said to the players afterwards, that’s sometimes unfortunately life, but that’s also the game and sometimes you don’t get what you deserve. “We came here with a plan to try and put the same pressure on them that we did at home.

Wycombe Wanderers confirmed that they will be participating at Wembley for this season's League One play-off final, defeating MK Dons by two goals to one ...

Parrott nearly doubled his tally in the 38th minute after turning his way past Anthony Stewart, with his left footed effort flying past the wrong side of the post. In what was one-way traffic for the first 20 minutes, Daryl Horgan and Garath McCleary combined well on the Wycombe right, with the former bursting into the area but his effort towards goal was blocked by the onrushing Harry Darling. Kaine Kesler Hayden and Theo Corbeanu saw some joy on the right wing early in the game, with the pair proving to link to great effect, with League One’s Player of the Season Scott Twine picking up some good positions in-between the Wycombe midfield and defence.

Aston Villa and Wolves loanees bid farewell after MK Dons loans end (Milton Keynes Citizen)

Kesler-Hayden says he has made 'friends for life' at MK Dons.

A very disappointing end going out in the play-off semi-finals, but overall a great learning curve for me. Aston Villa’s Kesler-Hayden was a regular in the side by the end of the campaign, having signed on transfer deadline day in January from Villa Park having spent the first half of the campaign at Swindon Town. Posting a series of pictures in Instagram depicting his campaign at both Dons and Sheffield Wednesday, where he spent the first half of the season, Corbeanu wrote: “First professional season down in the books.

Cardiff City striker returns to support MK Dons in play-offs (Milton Keynes Citizen)

Watters was a popular player during his spell at Stadium MK.

He is not the only former Dons player to have returned to the club in recent weeks - George Williams, now at Cambridge United, was seen at the game last night cheering on his former side, while Blackpool midfielder Ethan Robson attended the MK Dons Awards last Sunday. Watters’ goals for Liam Manning’s side made him a popular figure among Dons supporters. Josh McEachran was joined on the sidelines for the game by former Dons loanee Max Watters. The striker was recalled to parent club Cardiff City in late December after scoring seven goals in 14 matches for MK Dons
