Think some of these comments are a bit harsh given length of time the guy has had with these players. Nevertheless never really got why certain people were creaming themselves over this appt. Yet again we have gone for somebody lacking in experience at the level we are at and of the predicament we face. Graham alexander may have been failed appointment but still think we needed somebody a bit more tried and tested. Sure we will be loving discussing our possession stats and being able to say "least we play the mk way" when scrapping it out in non league

IMO they were all equally as bad today with not one player doing anything of any note.

I thought we looked considerably better today than we have done for a while and consistently throughout the game too, rather than just the first 20 minutes.

Although we looked better, we didn't deserve 3 points today but I'm also not sure we deserved to lose either. I think a draw would have been a fairer result.

Once again though, it's another game without a clean sheet. It's also a game where I don't recall us having a single shot on target for the full 90, unless I missed one.

One thing I will say, is that it will take A LOT longer to get results playing this style of football away from home. We saw it under Russ too. Teams seem to press a lot harder and the smaller pitches means there is less space to get out of it. 2 or 3 days of training definitely isn't enough time to get a new system imbedded but some promising signs were there.

Two very tough games coming up though but both of them are at home. Hopefully MW learnt a fair bit today and which players are capable and which aren't so much.

Some improvement but also a few players that are just no where near good enough -

MJ Williams, O'Hora, Robson and Dennis were all dreadful.

I like the style of play and I think it'll get us wins in a few games time, but a number of players that played today won't be playing for us after January.

Good summary.

Entirely your choice but I hope most fans turn up to support the new manager and team. Need to do our bit too.

If the players only chance of improvement relies on the fans and atmosphere then we really are doomed.

Of course it doesn’t but fans still play a part. Thats always been the case for every team in the world.
