MK Dons 0 Walsall 1
Saturday 25th April 2009, 2:59PM BST.
Jabo Ibehre strikes to give the Saddlers all three points at Stadium MK – and deny the home side automatic promotion.
16.52: MK Dons are throwing everything at it but the Saddlers are holding firm.
16.37: Saddlers scorer Ibehre limps off to be replaced by Richard Taundry.
16.36: Wilbraham the MK Dons’ top scorer is on – will pose a test for the visitors.
16.35: Fair play to the Saddlers – they’re refusing to sit on the lead and are still looking for a second to kill off the game.
16.25: Jabo Ibehre slots in a low shot to put the Saddlers 1-0 up. If it stays like this Saddlers could deny the Dons the chance of automatic promotion.
16.20: MK Dons starting to turn the screw a bit. Saddlers have had Zaaboub and Mattis booked.
16.13: Saddlers more than holding their own but both sides struggling to create real chances.
15.34: Jude Stirling on for Sean O’Hanlon for the Dons.
15.23: Good to see Tore Andre Flo still plying his trade in English football. Hasn’t managed to create any problems for the Saddlers yet.
15.17: Possession stats show that it’s 50/50 at the moment. Chris Hutchings side certainly haven’t come to roll over as MK Dons chase promotion.
15.15: MK Dons looking dangerous but the Saddlers have started brightly – it will be surprising if there are no goals this afternoon.
15.00: We’re under way at the Stadium MK.

Just a thought Saddlers fans. If we hadn’t collapsed last weekend to Huddersfield, and if we hadn’t conceded those last minute goals under Jimmy ‘the used car sales man’ Mullen’, which no professional team should do with such regularity. We could be creeping into the playoffs now.
Gutting isn’t it?
