View From The Other Side - Bury (A)Quote:
MK Dons' manager, Robbie Neilson is quiet, calm and collected. His team was disciplined, showed resolve, and they were two yards faster at times, and yet they didn't have the potency of Bury. The difference was they were clinical. Neilson gave signals to players to change formation and the player's looked organised. They didn't panic.
Quote:
Neilson started his career at Hearts and his first 20 matches he was undefeated. He's been in his job at MK Dons as long as Clark has been at Bury and already he has put a team together with choice signings.

Early goal clearly knocked the stuffing out of us, and for the next 20 minutes or so, they cut through us like a hot knife through butter. Several times. Could have been 4-0 by the 25 minute mark, but then we seemed to get our act together. I thought from around then to H/T, we were honestly the better side.
Quote:
Atrocious defending for their second goal. I am not convinced about the goalkeepers positioning for that goal either.
Quote:
We played well for 25 minutes, but that's nowhere near good enough to win a football match - particularly against a good side like MK Dons.
Quote:
A soft performance today albeit it against a well organised team. The early goal was the worst possible thing that could have happened against that sort of opposition. It really could have been a lot more, even by half time.
Quote:
we didn't make the keeper work, they were more solid defensively so some credit. They looked switched on at the back
Quote:
2-0 flattered MK Dons
Quote:
We seemed to try to match them at times but they were more clinical
Quote:
Inept performance today, we could have been 3-0 down after 20 minutes
Quote:
This was very frustrating to watch. We were beaten by a more organised team and that hurts.
Quote:
How bloody good is Osman Sow?! When they first set up in the first half, I thought he looked isolated, but it didn't matter! On that showing, a phenomenal player.

MK Dons the best footballing side I've seen here so far this season. Some absolutely brilliant one touch stuff from them.
