MK Dons 2 Lincoln

LIAM MANNING believes his MK Dons players can play better than their performance in the win against Lincoln City.

The Dons fell behind to John Marquis’ strike, but turned the game around through goals either side of the interval from defensive duo Harry Darling and Warren O’Hora.

“I think the guys know their level and know they can play better than that,” said Manning.

“The best thing for me is that they know what they are capable of and I don’t need to tell them.”

Michael Appleton said: “We feel hard done by a little bit.”
