Shaun Whalley scored the only goal of the game in an encounter with precious few chances. While Mo Eisa had a couple of sights in the first-half which he should have done better with, neither side were really able to carve out much in front of goal, with Whalley's 31st minute strike ultimately being the difference.
The result sees Dons drop to 18th in League Two, now nine without a win in the division.
Here’s how we rated the players at the Wham Stadium.
Some decent saves in either half to keep Accrington at bay. Played out with his feet a lot more than in the early season so far (Photo: Jane Russell)
Struggled with distribution for most of the game, with poor and misplaced passing summing up his afternoon (Photo: Jane Russell)
Solid return to the side at centre back after serving a ban. Not much chance to add to Dons' precious few attacks though, but he did create a good first-half chance for Dean (Photo: Jane Russell)
Not a lot made it past the New Zealand international again as he kept potent striker Josh Andrews quiet all afternoon (Photo: Liam Ford/AHPIX LTD)
A quiet afternoon for the wing-back, especially in the second-half (Photo: Liam Ford/AHPIX LTD)
Like Tomlinson on the opposite flank, had a decent outing but went quiet in the second-half (Photo: Jane Russell)
Secure enough in the centre of the park, but didn't get to orchestrate as he would have liked as Stanley pressed high (Photo: Jane Russell)
Full of running as ever, but had a fairly muted impact (Photo: Jane Russell)
Saw a lot of the ball just just could not do anything with it. Often gave the ball away and looked off the boil (Photo: Liam Ford/AHPIX LTD)
Covered a lot of ground and dropped deep to pick up the ball but had little joy with it. Came close with a second-half pot-shot which brushed the outside of the net (Photo: Liam Ford/AHPIX LTD)
Had two great chances in the first-half, hitting the bar with one and firing another wide when he should have done better. Limped out in the second-half (Photo: Jane Russell)
Added a new engine to the midfield for the final stages of the game (Photo: Liam Ford/AHPIX LTD)
Didn't add a lot in the front line after replacing Dean (Photo: Jane Russell)
Showed some initial enthusiasm to get on the ball but fizzled out quickly (Photo: Liam Ford/AHPIX LTD)
Two years ago, after yet another couple of nights of rioting in the banlieues, twenty retired French generals wrote an open letter to Emmanuel Macron, then about to run for a second term, warning that the divisions between communities and increasing “violence and nihilism” in France would eventually cause a social breakdown, with a risk of “chaos” leading to a “civil war” that would then “require” a military “intervention… in a dangerous mission to protect our civilisational values and safeguard

For much of this year and before 7 October, naval gazers had about four areas to look at. First, the ongoing fight in the Black Sea with the Russian blockade weaponizing hunger despite regular Ukrainian successes there. The Russians were also keeping navies busy in the high north and the North Atlantic.
Call off the search: the worst show of 2023 is here. That is, unless you’re a 13-year-old boy, in which case Obliterated (Netflix) is your dream product. Guns! Naked breasts! A lead character who is a government operative but also looks smokin’ hot in a red bikini! And that’s before we get to the script, in which a foreign baddie plots to nuke Las Vegas. Standing in his way is an elite tactical unit (the best kind) whose members say things like: “We’re supposed to stop the bad guy with the bomb”

How’s Brexit working out? There have been some marginal positives, but in terms of the economy, it’s been mainly downside, and on the issues that really matter to voters – particularly immigration and a better functioning health service with more money behind it – Brexit has so far manifestly failed to deliver.
Henry Nicholls/ReutersThe British royal family is reportedly taking legal advice after Piers Morgan named the two so-called “royal racists” on his Talk TV show in Britain on Wednesday night.

The names appeared in a section about who had discussed the skin color of Meghan M
As Eurocrats-in-chief go, Ursula von der Leyen has generally been relatively inoffensive to British sensibilities. Most of us were dimly aware that she was one of those people who excel at “failing upwards”, with her emergence as President of the European Commission following a chequered spell as Germany’s defence minister.
ITV extended an episode of I’m A Celebrity that featured a cultural appropriation row between Nigel Farage and Nella Rose after the broadcaster was accused of not giving him enough airtime.
