Oh yeah...forgot they didn't concede in the second half did they. :rolleyes: Maybe the Dons took pity on us as it's nearly Christmas.

Shocking team selection from Adams. Not a surprising result when I saw the team sheet. No Griff (it's exactly the type of game we need him in) and JMW on his unfavoured wing ;)

 

Still, it's been a fantastic season up to now. MK Dons are a very strong league 1 team. Dust ourselves off and on to the next game.

Beaten by a better team on the day. Agree with Cullerton in that we didn't appear to compete physically in the 1st half, an intangible that Griffiths brings to the team.

 

Concern is the number of injuries and suspensions with the number of upcoming fixtures, a win against Notts County is important.

FT 3-0, very disappointing. The weaknesses of our squad are all too apparent - both in defence (where we have only one centre back good enough for this league) and midfield (which we never seem to be able to control, even against teams like Salisbury). This is why we're such a Jekyll and Hyde team, putting in too many inconsistent performances. These are all the signs of a mid table team but I guess we'd have settled for there we are now at the start of the season. Still time to improve and let's hope we can manage a good cup run to spice up our season.

As much stick as Griff gets on here,its for sure we don't have a replacement for him !

Why drop Griffith for a game like this? Understandable if at home as he's been poor at home but away to MKD?

Agree totally when playing away and teams are pressing us high up the park we need griff to break it up but at home need something more creative

First half was garbage. As bad as the first half at Bury under Glover. We just didn't do the things we have generally done well this season. No closing down or in your face pressing, no tackling compounded by some terrible defending.

 

Let's not kid ourselves MK are midtable for a reason so to make them look like Barcelona isn't acceptable nor reflective of the quality we have. I'm absolutely livid... Not because we've lost but because we've lost without the effort and desire I know we should be putting in and that simply isn't acceptable.

We do seem to have these games every 5-6 weeks where we don't seem to turn up e.g. Wolves (H), Swindon (A).

Hopefully we can get 4pts from the next two. UTV.

Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say you were beaten by the better side. They have class through their side and are a superb footballing side.

 

Griff dies get slated on here but I think today we see what we miss when he's not in the team.

He's out of form and he performs better on smaller pitches.

Glad we showed a bit more fight 2nd half other wise that could of being a very bad day at the office
