Town manager Jim Magilton says there can be now excuses for Town going out of the Carling Cup against The MK Dons last night.

Magilton: "There are no excuses whatsoever. The better team won and MK Dons were a credit to their manager the way they kept going.

"At half-time we were lucky to still be in the game and being 2-1 down flattered us.

"We played better second half but it was still very disappointing. We have to be better than that and it was a shocking last goal, too.

"Even when we were 3-2 up we were disappointing. We were so sloppy at times it was frightening.

"We now have to go to Plymouth and if I'm a Plymouth scout watching this I know exactly what I would be telling my players.

"That is the level of player I have at this club. We can't string two results together. The players probably heard wonderful, glorious things after Saturday but we can't play two games the same.

"It worried me that it is going to be the same as last season because it looks as if you are over one hurdle and it smacks you in the face again.

"I hope the players are upset because I have told a few home truths in there, so hopefully we can get a reaction on Saturday."
