Aaron Wilbraham came back to haunt his former club as he grabbed the game's only goal with a superbly-taken strike in the 36th minute. Jonny Mullins thought he had headed County level shortly after the restart from a Tommy Rowe corner but the goal was disallowed for a foul on Dons keeper Willy Gueret. Gannon said: "I think this season we have to have a good look at the referees because I think the standard of officiating is bringing the game into disrepute. "I was really proud of the manner in which we played because there was certainly a contrast in the two teams' approach in the second half. "I was pleased with the players' effort and application, I was just disappointed they didn't get what they deserved. I thought Chris O'Grady was an excellent addition in the second half, and Oli Turner and Matty Mainwaring showed why they are still in the team."
