MK Dons 0 Gillingham 1: Reaction from Gills boss Mark Bonner after League 2 match at Stadium MK

Gillingham boss Mark Bonner described Saturday’s win as a dream result after beating in-form MK Dons.

The Dons had won six in a row in the league prior to Gills’ weekend arrival but a goal from Robbie McKenzie saw Bonner’s side take the points with a 1-0 victory.

Asked how he felt after a game, Bonner said: “Exhaustion, probably. Same as the players, I think.

“I hope they get the credit they deserve because they've had some pelters thrown at them recently, but the last two games have been brilliant in terms of the commitment to the game, the effort in the game.

“It's a massive win. Away wins are hard to come by, clean sheets are hard to come by. We're doing very well in that regard, clean sheet-wise.

“Cat’s (Goalkeeper Glenn Morris) had a great game. The scramble at the end (to deny Liam Kelly) was just crazy. I don't even know what happened there.

“But we will take it very, very gratefully and it backs up last week (beating Salford City 1-0 at home) , which is great. To come here (to MK Dons) and win was probably a dream result for us, really. We hope it helps maybe kick-start a bit of momentum.

“We need to try and keep backing that up and get rolling. But a big day for us, a big gain for us.

“A huge credit to the lads, for the ones that started, the ones that finished the game. I thought they made a good impact in it as well.

“We changed quite a bit during the game, but they coped really well.”

The Gills didn’t create much themselves against a side who had 77% possession and out-shot Bonner’s side 12-5 but they worked hard and defended resolutely against an MK Dons team who had been a top form.

Bonner said: “We had a handful of counter-attacking moments which we didn't use well, first
