It wasn't so long ago that Bournemouth were doing battle in League One against Milton Keynes Dons, or FC Franchise as we like to call them. Now MK Dons are second in League Two and the Carabao Cup has given them what some might say is a big draw against a Premier League side. So this season Bournemouth will get the chance to refresh old memories, but our fans are more likely to be reminiscing what could have been with Baily Cargill, 23, and Mathieu Braudry, 30, more than seeing the Don's white shirts again.
The other signings this summer included former Cherry Mathieu Baudry from Doncaster, Baily Cargill another ex-Bournemouth player, who was a free agent, Jordan Houghton from Chelsea, Stuart Moore from Swansea, Robbie Simpson from Exeter City and Lawson D'Ath from Luton Town.
MK Dons have started the season reasonably well. With home wins over Bury and draws against Crewe away and Grimsby at home and narrow win over Exeter City have pushed them into the promotion places. But their standout performances was the 3-0 home win over League One Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup first round.
Look out for Baily Cargill No 26 and Mathieu Baudry No 5, lets hope they play on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth are expected to field Jefferson Lerma and Diego Rico in their first competitive game for the Cherries.

One survivor of some of those League One days is captain Dean Lewington who may well lead the MK Dons out against Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup. Much about MK Dons though is new, including their manager Paul Tisdale, who was the long time manager of Exeter City, and in a quirk of fate this last weekend Tisdale came up against his former club and the Dons won 1-0. He has also made a loan signing of striker Rhys Healey from Cardiff City this week, so Rhys might have passed on a few tips from Neil Warnock, having seen Bournemouth beat Cardiff in the first week of the Premier League.
