Well I went to watch MK Dons v Peterborough on Saturday (so you don't have to).

The final score was MK Dons 2 Peterborough 3, which gives the impression that it was a close game, which it wasn't.

Peterborough scored after 2 minutes and then dominated for the next 80 minutes, leading 3-0 and having multiple other chances (player clean through on the keeper who tips shot onto the post and another goal disallowed for offside).

MK Dons were utterly woeful I have never seen a team give up so badly, no passion on the pitch, on the bench or in the stands, 50% of whom left before the end.

Peterborough were so dominant that they made the fatal mistake of making too many changes and ended up disjointed at the end. A long through ball beat the offside and MK Dons scored a totally undeserved goal. Two minutes later they then repeated the long ball the Peterborough keeper came out and didn't get anywhere near it and was then lobbed for 3-2. Cue the last 5 minutes of panic as MK Dons just bombed the box with long balls. Peterborough though held on for the win.

Randall made a brief cameo at the end but never got on the ball, but he seemed fit and moving well. Peterborough looked like a side who will give a lot of people trouble, their front 3 were very dangerous. MK Dons though will be relegated on that performance.
