The game was decided by an 81st-minute goal from substitute Jabo Ibehre, who turned in a Jemal Johnson cross from close range. "We did not play well at all," said Barnes. "That was the worst we have played this season in the second half and we must improve things. "We gave the ball away for no reason and far too easily. There were some positives from the game but there were too many negatives. We could easily have scored a couple of goals but it did not happen for us. "We need some composure and to make better decisions. "Injuries to some players did not help things and I was forced to make changes in the second half. But obviously it was not an ideal result for us. But to be fair, the Dons are a very good and well-organised side."
