Karl Robinson struggled to comprehend how MK Dons lost their eight month unbeaten home record at stadiummk as they slipped to a 1-0 defeat to Preston North End.
The Dons boss, who penned a new deal at the Club before kick-off, felt his side were worthy of a draw at least but conceded Preston, managed by caretaker duo David Unsworth and Graham Alexander, stuck to a bullish and successful game plan.
The deciding goal came in the seventh minute when the Dons allowed Paul Parry enough space in the box to connect with a cross from David Naylor on the right and from that point Preston became a different side as they soaked up the pressure from the Dons.
Robinson said: "It was so frustrating but then again we have won the game so maybe their tactics won. I said to the players that teams are going to come here and take a point, so when they get 1-0 up their going to be ten times worse.
"We let them go 1-0 up by sloppy play and then it was against of backs against the wall, and to their credit they defended fantastically well.
"I thought we had much more of the ball, we huffed and puffed but there weren't many clear cut chances and the reason for that is when they have got eight in front of the goal you're not going to get a clear cut chance because it's difficult.
"I'm a little bit lost for words because I felt we should have got more out of the game than we did."
The game, live on Sky Sports, was lacking in clear cut chances but Jabo Ibehre, Stephen Gleeson and Luke Chadwick all forced saves from Thorsten Stuckmann. However, for the first time in nine matches the Dons drew a blank and the result ended a fantastic run of seven successive victories.
Robinson added: "It was one of those days where it wasn't to be, they gave everything I just think it wasn't to be. We move on now to Leyton Orient away, let's get it right for that."
