Admin admin11 Dec 2012 - 07:30

FC entertain MK Dons in the Berks and Bucks Cup tomorrow evening, 12th December KO 7.45PM, Please arrive early to avoid queueing.

MK Dons will bring a mixture of First Team and Youth players to the Affinity Investments Stadium tomorrow evening as FC prepare for a real test in this Berks and Buck Cup tie.

Have a look at Some of the players who will be Involved tomorrow evening from MK Dons

Ian McLoughlin
A young Irish goalkeeper with great potential, Ian has expressed a desire to push David Martin as hard as he can for the number 1 shirt at the Club.

Following his release from Ipswich Town in July 2011, Ian joined the Dons for a trial spell, and after impressing during some pre-season matches he joined the Club on a free transfer.

Having already gained valuable experience on loan to Lowestoft Town and Stockport County earlier in his career, the Dons have an exciting and keen ‘keeper in Ian.

A Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, Ian played just twice for the Dons last season, and will be looking to challenge for the starting berth between the sticks.

Mason Spence
The head apprentice in the MK Dons Academy, Mason is a studious defender who has already made his first team debut. The youngster was selected by Karl Robinson to start in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy against Northampton earlier this year.

While the Dons bowed out of the competition that night, Mason impressive with his mature performance and will be hoping to force further first team appearances.

Mathias Kouo-Doumbe
Mathias remains an important part of the MK Dons defence despite last season being one interrupted by injury for the Frenchman.

Mathias joined the Dons from Plymouth Argyle in August 2009 and has proved his versatility at the back as he is comfortable in either central defence or at right-back.

A pacy and powerful central defender, Mathias started his career with French giants Paris St Germain before joining Hibernian in October 2001, where he established himself at the heart of the Hibs defence.

While at Easter Road he forged a strong relationship with manager Bobby Williamson, so when the former Scotland international was handed the reins at Plymouth, it came as little surprise that Mathias followed him south of the border in June 2004.

Harry Hickford
Another Academy player who was invited along to pre-season with the first team, a central defender with the heart of a lion and a potential future captain in the waiting, Harry is a clever player who suits the style of play at MK Dons.
While he is yet to make an appearance for the first team, Harry has been involved in matchday squads and will be hoping he can force a way into Karl Robinson’s future squads.

Adam Chicksen
Adam Chicksen came of age at MK Dons in the 2011/12 as his versatility became a vital asset to Karl Robinson’s plans.

As the Dons lost right-back to clauses in loan agreements and injury it was Adam, a left-back by trade, who stepped in to the troublesome position. A focused individual with a natural ability to read the game, he will be hoping to build on the 30 first team appearances he made last season.

Born and bred in Milton Keynes Adam is a huge hit with the Dons supporters and gained valuable experience during a loan spell with Leyton Orient last year. Adam’s biggest challenge though comes in trying to dislodge Dean Lewington from his favoured left-back spot.

Brendan Galloway
A scholar in the Academy, Brendan holds the record as the Club’s youngest player to feature in a League match aged just 16 years old and 43 days. The midfielder made his first team debut at the backend of last season at Rochdale and produced a display that had him likened to Patrick Vieira.

The young starlet has featured once this season for the first team, in the 6-1 FA Cup thrashing of Cambridge City and also starred in the England Under-17 set-up in the summer

Dele Alli
A current scholar in MK Dons’ impressive Academy structure, Dele has already sampled the delights of first team football. Invited to attend pre-season training with Karl Robinson’s men, Alli made his debut in the FA Cup last month.

A talented midfielder was involved in the England Under-17 set-up in the summer, but his most impressive moment to date came in the FA Cup First Round Replay against Cambridge City when he delivered a fire-cracker strike for his first goal in professional football.

Zeli Ismail
Highly-rated at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Zeli Ismail signed for the Dons on an emergency loan in November 2012.

The Albanian-born youngster came through the youth-ranks at Wolves and signed his first professional deal in June 2010.

Ismail then went on to make his first team debut this past September, coming on as a substitute in the Capital One Cup defeat to Chelsea.

The winger has been in great form for the Molineux side’s reserves this season and was recently rewarded with a new two-and-a-half year deal. The former England Under-17 international will provide good depth in a key area of Karl Robinson's team

Giorgio Rasulo
Still just 15 years old, Giorgio burst into the first team scene this season after impressive boss Karl Robinson in a series of ‘Academy Showcase’ games at stadiummk. The forward, blessed with natural pace and a killer-instinct in front of goal, made his debut in the FA Cup in November.

Potentially ‘the next Sam Baldock’ of the Club, Giorgio was picked by England Under-16s to play in the Sky Sports Victory Shield and stunned Scotland by bagging the winner on his international schoolboy debut.

Daniel Powell
Daniel Powell first made an impact for the Dons in 2008 - scoring against Hartlepool on his first team debut aged just 17 years and 248 days, and he has not stopped scoring since, netting 11 times in 53 appearances last season.

Luton-born Daniel came through the Dons Academy, signing his first professional contract aged 17. In 2009/10 he spent the majority of the season on loan at Forest Green Rovers and began the 2010/11 season also on loan at Darlington before he returned to the Dons to cement a first team place.

Daniel is a forward thinking player who loves to run at fullbacks and is a strong asset for the Dons down the flanks. The youth graduate is contracted to the men from MK1 until June 2013.

Ibra Sekajja
Ugandan-born Sekajja joined MK Dons on loan from Crystal Palace at the start of November.

The 20-year-old striker, who is at stadiummk until the turn of the year, came through the Palace youth system and is blessed with bags of pace. He made his Palace debut last year and netted with his first touch in professional football to earn a 1-1 draw against Hull City.

The highly-rated forward has previously spent time on loan at Kettering but will be looking to continue his development at the Dons.
