Fit-again full-back Eddie Nolan believes MK Dons could have had no complaints had they been on the end of a home hiding against Scunthorpe United yesterday.

Although it was pleasing to see the Iron keep a second successive clean sheet at stadium:mk, goals also seem to have dried up at the other end of the field, meaning United had to again settle for a point in a goalless draw.

Only Sheffield Wednesday have scored more times than the Dons in front of their own fans this season and Karl Robinson's side are one of four teams in the division yet to lose on home turf in 2011/12.

That's why Nolan was delighted to see Scunthorpe have the better of the play, even though the result still leaves them languishing in the bottom third of the League One table.

"We're pleased with the point, but it could have been more with the chances we created, especially in the first half," Nolan told the Telegraph.

"It was one of those games that either side could have won, but I don't think MK Dons could have complained too much if we had.

"Eight draws is the reason we are where we are in the table.

"It's frustrating, but in the last two away games we've got two clean sheets. We have to be pleased with that, especially since they've come against two decent teams."

Nolan said he was 'blowing a bit' come the final whistle at stadium:mk, having come straight back into the starting XI just 24 hours after returning to training following a calf problem.

Like most in the Glanford Park ranks, the Irishman is adamant the Iron are capable of having a say on what happens inside the top half of the table.

And he believes the few home truths that were told in the dressing room after the Iron's 3-2 home loss against Leyton Orient a fortnight ago is one factor behind why they have been able to offer a bit more hope in their last two outings.

"We've conceded a lot of stupid goals this season and come in for a bit of stick," added the former Blackburn Rovers trainee.

"We've been under a bit of pressure, but we know now we can keep clean sheets and it was a great performance yesterday.

"When you lose you want to put things right, especially when it's at home.

"We shouldn't have lost in the manner we did against Orient, but hopefully what was said after the game has had a positive effect.

"We want to win games, but in matches like this we'll take the draws."
