MK Dons vs Ipswich Town - Build-up from Stadium MK (Milton Keynes Citizen)

MK Dons take on Ipwich Town at Stadium MK this afternoon, desperately seeking to escape the League One relegation zone.

Injury to Daniel Harvie confirmed, he’s out today as one of two changes for Mark Jackson. We’ll need to be in that mindset on Saturday against an extremely good team in Ipswich. I know people will look from outside and see they’ve come off the back of two disappointing results, but they were two tough away games.

The Blues surrendered possession on their right allowing Mo Eisa a free run at goal. Town: Walton, Clarke, Woolfenden, Burgess, Burns, Morsy (c), Humphreys, Davis, Chaplin, Broadhead, Hirst. MK were still seeing a fair bit of the ball in the Blues’ half and on 36 Kaikai had a chance to shoot from the edge of the box on the right but scuffed his strike well wide, much to the amusement of the Town fans behind the goal.

Milton Keynes Dons suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ipswich Town at Stadium MK despite putting in a spirited display.

Kaikai gave the Dons some reprieve as he was brought down about 25 yards out from the Ipswich box, earning a free kick in the process. Kaikai then earned his side a free kick 30 yards out as regulation time ended. Despite going a goal down, the Dons continued to work their way forward with balls sent into the Ipswich box.
