Tues 28 Feb/Sat 4 March

Hoping to continue our good league form with the trip to Cheltenham. Good few tired legs from the Cup tie but great to see Dan Batty come on, top player for us who has been missing for over 2 months. Stockley & Marriott still waiting to start scoring, and providing we show the same excellent defensive qualities on show against Burnley think we can just edge it 2-1

 

[Si Robin]

You must be crazy - you've got us scoring.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Ipswich away. Can see nothing but a defeat in this.
I’ll go 3-1.

 

[Greenacres]

Accrington away, this is probably our only real chance of getting three points until the last four games of the season...by which time we will probably have been relegated already. This means we will win tomorrow, to give us just a little bit of hope when in reality there is very little, football can be cruel at times.

 

[BarrieOwl]

Depends which Posh turns up tomorrow as to how the game pans out, if it is the one who surrendered to Bolton then I see nowt but a comfy home win, if it is the one who blitzed Plymouth then they have the firepower to end our 20 league game unbeaten run. Posh remain one of two sides who could do the double over us and we will want revenge for that August setback.

 

[Luke Imp]

Home to Oxford. Having navigated home games against most of the top sides in the division (only Posh and Barnsley to come from memory), it'd be typical to lose the unbeaten record to a bounce from a side who've just sacked their manager!

We were without Walsh and Jackson anyway and lost Eyoma in midweek so we're very short of options at the back again but we do have Montsma back after his suspension. No Virtue either but he's due back in the next week or so I think after two months out. Would be very surprised if House didn't come in for Plange after being given a bit of a breather on the bench in midweek due to illness.

It’s all set up nicely for us to choke horribly today at home to Exeter.

Homecoming hero Matt Bloomfield to be unveiled officially as manager before what (by our limited standards) is expected to be a bumper crowd, and the club having promoted this as “Family Day” with extra stuff going on around the ground for kids.

We generally tend to fall flat on our faces if we try and make an occasion of it, but oh well.

We were well beaten by Exeter in the reverse fixture, which came in a spell when we looked generally shite and defensively inconsistent - but Exeter played well too and I’m expecting them to put up a decent fight.

As with any game from now till the end of the season, pretty much nothing but a win will do for our playoff hopes, so all the pressure’s on us.

 

[valefan16]

Benning in for Massey the only change so as expected after a good performance last weekend.

Big news for us is James Wilson makes the bench so hopefully can be a massive part of the run in.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Harper in for Stansfield. Seems like a negative move.

 

[Chris FGR]

McGeouch starting means we have a chance. Godwin-Malife in for Bernard at RB makes sense too, adds more pace to our counter attacks.

 

[White horse]

Dreadful display so far from Bolton, no idea why we had to kick off at 12.30, think we wil scrape into the play offs but not if Evatt persists with Kuchunga who has still not scored a league goal this season. The poor January window looks like it has come back to bite us, the four so called strikers he brought in have scored 1 goal between them,

You’ll be fine, just need to get out of the routine of Saturday-midweek game-Saturday. Always going to catch up at some point. Morecambe is a difficult place to win as well to be fair.

 

[kieran_vale]

Nice to see Wilson return to our matchday squad. Longest fucking “two weeks” I can remember. Need to be on the front foot early against these. Better bloody win or I’ll be hearing about it in work all next week.

 

[stevowanderer]

We are just knackered. You can see it…we aren’t winning second balls. We can’t get up and down the pitch. Struggling to get back into shape when we lose the ball. I bet our running stats are down. 3 performances in a row that have not been quite right after a really good run before that.

We should get playoffs but a few really tough games coming up.

But you have the best squad, how can they be so tired.

 

[Chris FGR]

We’re winning! What is this.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Fuck me, MK Dons are shit. I don't think they've had a single touch in our area. We need to get a second.

 

[Floreat Salopia]

Season over.

Time to book those holidays to Croatia & Bulgaria. We’ve had a good run though, we need to keep the majority of the squad and add 3/4 and we’ll be up there again next season.

 

[bigfatron]

Playing really well against Pompey and would be well ahead but for our usual problem - we can't f'ing score....
I'm sure Portsmouth will be better second half; we'll regret not taking those good chances.

In fairness, your season was over about 6 weeks ago. We've played you twice and you're nowhere near the standard required.

 

[Chris FGR]

Playing well, deservedly in front, and then suddenly bang sending off and equalising goal after shite goalkeeping and we’re in trouble again. Nothing has gone right this season.

 

[BarrieOwl]

For a 0-0 it wasn't a bad first half, we aren't at our best and tactically Posh have been spot on, need an early goal in the 2nd half to open it up.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Another awful ref giving everything to Barnsley. The odd occasion we do get the decision, he fails to play advantage when we are through.
We are the ones playing the football though, a few scares as you'd expect from an in-form team but so far so good.

 

[leedsvaliant]

I think our keeper has touched it 3 times. Mk dons comfortably the worst side we've played this season, however we haven't been much better. We look poor in the attacking half.

Referee looks like a 'my show ' kind. It's all about him. Need to be careful not to get anyone sent off and to prevent a side that are as poor as we've played from upping their game.

Don’t you say that about every team

So far it’s been largely one way traffic. We seem to be winning the physical battle by a distance. Don’t think we’ve lost a 50-50 challenge yet. Whether that’s a few MK players making business decisions for the summer who knows.

One thing we need to watch out for is a couple on a booking now. Something that may come into play in the second half.

Honestly, most teams we've played have been shite. But these are different level!

Yes. These are really struggling to compete but we need another goal.

Yeah referee is card happy but inconsistent on what he’s giving (both sides) so have to be careful.

Dominant performance again but need to get a second, as mentioned they’ve barely had a touch in our area thus far.

They must be bad.

 

[Wibbin]

We haven't been in the game vs Derby, a worldie and a good strike from McGoldrick though there should have been a free kick in the build up but the ref seems to be favouring Derby

 

[Wibbin]

Second half subs would suggest we've thrown the towel in
