THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

I cannot think of any. Not even one. Can you ?

Solid keeper...great defence....good midfield....decent enough strikers...quite a deep squad (with some yet to return from injury)....a very good manager with staff....excited fans....good team spirit and motivation....a committed Chairman....one of the best stadiums in lower league football.

(Oh, there is the issue of the kit but.....)

Methinks it is a great time for a MK Dons fan....

...but have I missed any negatives ?

We're not top of the league and we're not winning every game 8-0 - Tisdale out!


COYD!

Ha ha !

Casting my mind back to DM and Feb (after that match at Walsall, for example) I would never have posted this thread in my wildest dreams based on how I felt that day. Amazing turn-around at the club.

I'm getting to like the kit.

Totally this !!! Without Chuks and healey are we as good and could we replace like for like ?? Very unlikely - Tis has to persuade both to stay

Yes fans not going anymore that used to, playing well, winning games, what do they want?
Problems with turnstiles and buying tickets, so actually yes, lots wrong!

All the negatives are off the pitch for me:

Maybe over-dramatising it but you could argue:

We’re currently paying unsustainable wages because we didn’t expect to still be paying Chuks & Sow and even Nesbitt, who were all looking certain to move on in July/August. That may have to be addressed in January with insufficient funds free’d up to replace them.

The fact that attendances have (hopefully) bottomed out, but we haven’t yet seen any significant increase in home support. Where are the “Big Days”? Maybe half term hasn’t fallen right this Autumn, but I’m surprised there’s been no promo announced over certain games.

The ongoing IT issues that now seem to be affecting the club’s ability to receive revenue. How many people are turning up without cash and therefore not spending on a match day?

Are we able to buy tickets over the phone by card?

Biggest issues right now are the low attendances and the lack of a creative/dominant midfielder to put his foot on the ball and run the team (did anyone notice the impact of David Vaughan in this role for Notts County last night - he may be 35, legs gone and five foot seven but he had a massive influence on their team).

Certainly half term hasn't. It's next week in most of the schools.

I think we need a bit more clarity on these IT issues, it's a shame we don't have a forum on the horizon as it seems a real problem.
