‘numerous chances’ :lol: ok.


Yep they did.

How in any way did we threaten their goal?

i didn’t say we did, though ugbo had a goal-bound shot blocked by agard and muirhead our one just the wrong side of the post.

my point is neither side did because it was an unplayable pitch. both teams had one shot on target in open play. they get a goal off a corner and that’s that.

again, i’m not saying we were good. i’m saying it was virtually impossible to be good and neilson had us playing much the same on nice autumn days on our excellent pitch.

Agard was offside though right. Completely unacceptable performance unplayable pitch or not....looking forward to the relegation clear out.

You will not get shot of players on big contracts that no one else will want.

We will be stuck with the likes of Sow, Agard, Gilbey on large contracts

Those out of contract in the summer : Wotton, Upson and McGrandles (I won't include the great Rasulo)

McGrandles I would like to see tied up for next season, he has been one of the more consistent during the recent run.

It was bad, but it definitely wasn't as bad as some of the games under Nielson, that is a huge over reaction.

I'm not using the pitch as an excuse, as both teams had to play on it (although they do every other week) but for those that were there or watched on iPlayer, it was pretty evident that you'll never see a decent game of football on a surface like that.

If you expect to see a flowing, passing game of football; 'The MK Way' on a pitch like that then you're delusional. We've lost 4 games in a row, but I still have faith in DM. In fact, I feel damn right sorry for him. First management job and his record is currently at a 0% win rate. He's inherited a poor team with absolutely no confidence at all.

The complete overall in the summer was a disaster, as we lost our soul. We lost too many players at once that really cared about MK Dons. Now we have a team of loan players and players than have only been at the club for a few months.

Mcgrandles is on a 2 year deal.

Neilson's worst was that Northampton 2nd half. But even that was better than the team's efforts last night.

I don't want an MK way....i just want a winning one.
