After a series of results that saw them drop out of the League Two play-off places, MK Dons have bounced back in emphatic fashion. A weekend win over struggling Macclesfield Town put the Dons back into the automatic promotion spots, coupled with a loss for Mansfield Town away at Port Vale, and also handed them their fifth straight win in League Two. Another success on the road on Tuesday night would equal a sequence of wins they haven’t achieved since 2008.<\/p>\n
Paul Tisdale’s side started the season in excellent form, losing just two games up until the start of December. Their form took a large blow over the festive period, but they finally seem to be back on track having won their last five games.<\/p>\n
Five consecutive wins seems to be the number they struggle to get past. They haven’t recorded six straight league wins since 2008<\/a> – a run that included victories over Cheltenham Town, Leyton Orient, Tranmere Rovers, Hartlepool United, Walsall and Hereford United.<\/p>\n While the run isn’t the best in the club’s history (eight in the 2007\/08 season<\/a>), equalling that success in the current campaign would be a welcome addition as the club look to secure promotion back to League One at the first time of asking.<\/p>\n There’s very little history between MK Dons and Morecambe – only three games have been played between the two<\/a>, one of which was the reverse fixture earlier this season. The Dons won that game 2-0, were 1-0 winners in the away game back in 2007\/08, and drew 1-1 at home on the final day of that season when they were already league champions.<\/p>\nGood Omens<\/h2>\n
