Match Preview

Duo out for Dons MK Dons will be without suspended duo Angelo Balanta and Peter Leven for the visit of Exeter. On-loan QPR forward Balanta was sent-off in the closing stages of last weekend`s 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth and begins a three-match ban while midfielder Peter Leven collected his fifth booking of the season so also sits out. His one-game absence could see Stephen Gleeson start for the first time since August after he returned from a back injury as a late substitute at Dean Court. Former Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann will miss out after injuring his hamstring in the first half while captain Dean Lewington is also absent. The left-back missed out altogether last week with a knee injury which will keep him on the sidelines while Jude Stirling remains a long-term absentee as he battles to recover from a summer groin operation. Jemal Johnson could be involved after returning from his loan at Port Vale. Exeter manager Paul Tisdale has a couple of selection issues. Striker Jamie Cureton missed the Grecians` 2-1 win over Carlisle with a hamstring injury but returned to training this week and Tisdale is hopeful he will be fit for the trip to stadium MK. Cureton will have to settle for a place on the bench after the recent goalscoring form of Richard Logan and John O'Flynn, who impressed against Carlisle. Tisdale will also have to decide whether to bring Troy Archibald-Henville back into the starting line-up after his return from suspension. Veteran Rob Edwards deputised for the suspended Archibald-Henville in the heart of the defence at the weekend and could keep his place.

Match Report

Aaron off the mark for Dons Aaron Wilbraham's first league goal of the season proved decisive as MK Dons leapfrogged Exeter into seventh place in League One with a 1-0 win. Wilbraham marked his return from a three-week injury lay-off with a cool 53rd-minute winner to condemn the Grecians to their third straight defeat on the road. Exeter dominated the first half but Ryan Harley fired straight at keeper David Martin following a neat turn on the edge of the box before John O'Flynn had a goal ruled out for offside in the 37th minute. For the Dons, Sam Baldock lobbed straight at keeper Paul Jones and Luke Chadwick sliced wide from 22 yards. But the Dons improved after the break and Wilbraham put them ahead eight minutes after the restart when he controlled substitute Mark Carrington's chip over the defence and neatly slotted the ball past Jones. Jones denied both Baldock and substitute Jermaine Easter one-on-one as the Dons pressed for a second goal. Exeter piled forward late on in search of an equaliser but Martin saved well from Ryan Harley and twice denied O'Flynn as the Dons hung on for the three points.
