Darren Potter felt MK Dons did more than enough to beat Charlton Athletic on Saturday, in front of their new manager Robbie Neilson.
Potter & Co dominated their Emirates FA Cup tie at The Valley and went agonisingly close to winning the contest in the second half – having one goal disallowed for offside and a late strike blocked on the line.
“I think we did more than enough (to win),” Potter told MK Dons PlayerHD.

“He came in (at half-time) and gave us some encouraging words. He was happy with how the first half went and likewise we came in at the end and was happy with how the second half went.
