Great to get one of those under our belt. Those are the sort of points gained that can make a season successful, even if not always the easiest on the eye. 8-)

Really! Didn't think Fleetwood posed any threat at-all. Toothless. But it would've typically MK to throw it away at the death.

It’s the last part of your sentence that always worries me.

3 points is better than none, but we need to start improving that goal difference or it will come to bite us on the arse later in the season. Only 4 points off 6th, but our goal difference of -6 compared to Rotherham in 6th place with +7 is massive.

Still, we can't be too picky, and for Neilson's sake just getting 3 points is the priority at the moment.

I thought it was a decent display against a good Fleetwood side, a definite improvement from the last few league games, is that because we’ve gone back to passing rather than lobbing the ball long?

No. We mixed it up as usual and played the same amount of long balls. We just defended better.

Having Peter Pawlett back was a big improvement.
