7. George Dobson
Covered an awful lot of ground and played an important part for his side off the ball. Some uncertain moments but came through it. 6 Photo: FRANK REID 2020
8. Max Power
Didn’t have the time on the ball to dictate proceedings as he has done of late, with MK Dons moving it about nicely. Played his part in an industrious win for his side. 6 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
