Paul Warne says he is not worried about his job security despite Milton Keynes Dons' winless start to the League One season. The Dons have taken just five points from their opening six matches, leaving them 20th in the table.
Warne, 53, addressed the situation directly. "I'm never worried about my job," the manager said. "Not from an arrogant point of view. I worry about enough things not to also worry about that." He added that even a hypothetical run of ten straight defeats would not change his stance.
The team's current run includes five draws and a single defeat, a 3-1 loss at Wigan on the second of September. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 home draw with Peterborough on the 12th, where Aaron Collins scored their goal. You can review the full sequence of results on our fixtures page.
This slow start follows a dominant promotion campaign last season where MK Dons won 24 games, lost only eight, and were the division's top scorers with 86 goals. Warne has stressed the need for consistency as the team adjusts to the higher level, suggesting patience is required.
With a record of zero wins, four draws, and one loss in their last five, the immediate focus turns to halting the slide. The Dons' next challenge is an away trip to face Luton, who are 12th, on the 16th of January. The current standings show the team eight points adrift of the automatic promotion places, underlining the need for a turnaround.
