County look to halt six without win

Notts County take on top six team MK Dons at Meadow Lane on Saturday afternoon with the hosts looking to halt a six match league run without a win. County are on a miserable run of late with straight losses to Yeovil Town, Leyton Orient, Sheffield United, Oldham Athletic and Bournemouth, with just the 2-2 draw at home to Huddersfield Town as scant reward in a haul of just 1 point out of a possible 18. The Magpies’ home record stands overall at a solid 6-3-2 22/14, and have won just once in their last five at home (but have also lost just once), so it depends on whether you’re a glass half-full or glass half-empty person; personally I think they should be winning their home matches, but MK Dons presents a new challenge for them I feel. The two Hughes’s are their leading scorers; Jeff and Lee both with 8 goals, along with fellow forward Ben Burgess (4 goals, 3 assists) while Alan Judge (6 assists) and Alan Sheehan and Jeff Hughes (5 assists each), so they do possess a threat going forward.

Confident Dons

MK Dons go into this match looking to extend their present unbeaten away run to six matches following straight wins at Walsall, Colchester United, Tranmere Rovers and Leyton Orient, along with an entertaining 3-3 draw at Brentford last time out. The Dons also pushed Premiership QPR all the way in their midweek FA Cup third round replay which the R’s eventually won in an unconvincing display 1-0. Nevertheless, MK Dons will take great heart from their performance and will be looking to close the gap on the teams in the automatic promotion places. Their away record is as good as their home one and it stands at 7-2-3 24/12, with only Stevenage (10 goals) and the top two in League One, Charlton Athletic and Sheffield United (11 goals apiece), having conceded fewer on the road. The Dons have plenty of firepower of their won too with leading scorer Charlie MacDonald (7 goals, 4 assists), Jabo Ibehre (6 goals, 4 assists) and Dean Bowditch (6 goals, 7 assists) providing the main goal threats as well as assists, along with Irish midfield duo Stephen Gleeson and Luke Chadwick (2 goals, 5 assists each) who I fancy to win the midfield battle here.

Dons could nick it

County’s recent dip in form combined with MK Dons’ consistent away form leads me to select The Dons with the round ball as insurance – MK Dons could just nick it 2-1.
