Sat 22nd Nov 2014, Milton Keynes D v Port Vale, pre-match, the match itself.

[Fosse69]

After yesterday, 9 points in November should be within our grasp. Not that I am expecting anything from this game, but who knows what the "Horses for courses" will be? Maybe a surprise for us?

Would be delighted with a point, I'd go with the same side but bring mcgivern in for Dickinson.

I said exactly the same thing coming off the ground yesterday.Dicko was ok but I think he needs a longer rest.

A point here would be an excellent result to take to Gillingham where another 3 points could be possible,having said that lets take each game as it comes and see where it takes us

[For Us All]

From what I've seen so far,Bristol City,Swindon,Preston and MK Dons are a level above us at the moment,so I'll be more than satisfied with a point next weekend.

Id go 5-4-1

 

Neal

Yates, Veseli, Robertson, Mcgivern, Dickinson

Birchall , O'Connor, Brown, Daniel

N'guessan

 

Marshall has got an injury apparently, so I'd rest him. Lines has been crap the last two games so I'd bring birchall in, playing 5 at the back means Dickinson can go on his kamikaze runs and it'll still be relatively safe if they counter

 

Obviously a very good team, a draw would be a brilliant result

[valiant_593]

Must have missed the games when lines was crap..... Why would you build a team around the hope that Dickinson can go on his suicidle runs? Lines has to play, he's a very good player.

Mk last week, 2 goals were his fault. Yesterday, did nothing.

 

Lines is a very good player, when he can be bothered, but he has underperformed the last 2 games

I thought he was below his recent levels yesterday. He'd still be in my team every week though.

lines wasn't at his best yesterday, looked disinterested at times.

[bookworm]

mesen i think that mkd will probably think that they only have to turn out to claim the points,i'll see what the odds are 'cos i might just have a flutter on us to win 2-0.

[Desperate Dan]

Extremely tough game. We'll do well to come away with a draw. Their home record is 5-1-1, so they are a force. Same team as yesterday for me. Maybe swap McGivern for Dickinson, as MK have got pace in abundance, especially down that right flank, and Dickinson won't be able to cope as well as Ryan may.

I thought he was decent yesterday and did a lot of running off the ball, granted he gave 2 away against mk dons but he's still our best midfielder.

He played slightly better yesterday than he did the other day but he made at least 4 unforced errors yesterday, I was finding it hard to distinguish players in the second half, he might of done something good but I didn't see it :-\
