AFC Wimbledon and Milton Keynes Dons played out a goalless draw in League One on Thursday. The result means Wimbledon stay seventh in the table, having taken 10 points from their opening six matches. Their recent form shows one win, two draws, and one loss from the last four games.
Johnnie Jackson’s side set up in a 3-4-2-1 shape and matched their visitors for chances, with both teams registering 11 shots and two on target. The hosts had to show defensive discipline as MK Dons enjoyed 57% of possession and committed 18 fouls.
Callum Paterson was booked for the visitors after 15 minutes, with Wimbledon’s Ryan Johnson seeing yellow for a foul on the half-hour mark. The second half saw Cohen Bramall cautioned for dissent before Jackson himself was booked for protesting a decision in stoppage time.
Jackson made a double change after 72 minutes, introducing Zack Nelson and Dujuan Richards for Callum Maycock and Ollie Harrison. The alterations could not unlock a stubborn defence, with top scorer Myles Hippolyte, who has three goals this season, kept quiet.
The clean sheet is a positive for a side that had conceded seven goals in its previous five games. Wimbledon now look ahead to a trip to fourth-placed Cambridge United on Saturday 26 September. The team's next fixture is against Cambridge United, with a goal minutes average of 1.2 per game.
