Trailing 1-0 to Crawley at HT and we're down to ten men. 11 fouls, 6 yellows. Crawley should be 3-0 up in all honesty and probably will be by the full-time whistle.

Abject, lazy, disorganized, toothless and fooooking baba is how I'd describe our performance. First game of the season and I'm already fucked off. Just an unacceptable display so far.

Two words..

We look very tidy but without much cutting edge which basically describes us last season but with better players. Each signing looks like they’ve improved us, especially Conteh and Rodgers, Conteh especially I can’t believe we’ve managed to sign.

This was always going to be a tough opener seeing as there was 2 divisions between the sides last year.

Their pace is so evident, we don't have time on the ball to do what we want. Doesn't help when you give them a quite ridiculous own goal within 5 minutes.

We've responded well but they look so quick and skilful up top, they've waltzed through us a few times.

Eisa and Leko look a better pair than almost anyone we faced last year. MJ Williams looks solid for them too. Need to adjust to the level.

I expect us to be better in the second half, not ruling out getting a result.

These are definitely going to be one of the best teams in this league, Eisa will score a truckload.

If you think this feels like a step up you can only imagine what League 1 is like. MK were crap when we played them.

We started with 6 defenders on the pitch, mate! :fl:

I don't understand how he wasn't sacked after the play offs last season, keeping him on just delays the inevitable and wastes this season.

Agreed. Think he'll be gone by Christmas myself.

Completely dominated this second half then get hit on the break and give away a pen.
Thankfully Eastwood saved it terrible penalty.

Don't think I've ever seen a worse debut from a player than Ash Taylor. And this is in a game where we've had someone sent off.

We all called it at the time of the signing.

I genuinely have no clue who thought it would be a good idea to sign him. Brainless.

Referee has completely lost the plot in the second and decided everything must go to the team in red.

Getting pantsed here.

Suspicion of Offside but the front two for MK Dons have been rampant today.

Crewe equalise straight after a red card, now I remember why I don’t like football :D

That is another unreal move, the quality of those 2 is something else. Never a doubt that he would score there.

Shooting practice for us here surely one of these has to go in soon, just hit the post a few minutes ago. The difference between this current team and of all our previous League 2 teams is chalk and cheese. Really enjoyable to watch.
