MK Dons boss Robinson full of pride over QPR Cup shock

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson was full of pride over their FA Cup win at QPR.

As bad as QPR were, MK Dons deserved a lot of credit for the way they frustrated their Premier League opponents.

A club-record away following of 3,155 headed to west London to witness a performance that filled manager Robinson with pride.

"We felt we could come here and get a result," the Dons boss said. "I understand the gulf in teams and I respect that as well.

"QPR is a wonderful football club with one of the best English managers in a long, long time so you always know the difficulties it that is going to possess.

"It is nice to make it through. The players were fantastic and I thought they deserved the result.

"It was difficult for us in the first half. We had to sit off them and they have some top, top players.

"I thought the way they responded to going in front at a Premier League ground was great. They played with no fear.

"Getting into the fourth round was a little bit of history for us and now the fifth round makes it a little more special."
