THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

It's time again for your votes & predictions please.

To bask in the glory of predicting the correct outcome this season, please also post your prediction below for all to see.

No-one predicted we'd get relegated this time last season, but well done again to bigpaul101 for predicting the correct result in the subsequent End of Feb 2018 poll.

Always interesting to see how the optimism / pessimism changes over time, according to recent events on & off the pitch.
Here's your opportunity to vote & predict where MK Dons will finish the 2018/19 season.

Whoever has gone 18-22 is far more p*ssed than me.

Gone for 5th think the playoffs are now achievable, just have a feeling that automatic is just out of reach. Squad looks good but as we have seen from the Oldham game injuries to key players added to constant injuries to Aneke and Sow may actually mean that despite a big good quality squad we may still come up just short.

I have to say I hope to be proved wrong and we get automatic but I just have a nagging doubt, possibly the affect of the last three seasons.

In Welldon's thread, I went for second. I've stuck with that. Defense is fixed. Sort out our lack of attack and we have a chance.

I don't need your ill-informed, half-baked, idiotic opinions. I have plenty of those myself.

I've gone absolutely mental and gone for champions.

We've a good defence (for this toilet of a league), the midfield looks pretty solid, and once Tisdale sees the error of his ways and plays Cisse as a lone striker in the old Christmas tree formation, we'll be sorted.

The 18-22 vote makes me ask, Did Robbo come on here after getting the tin tack and cast a vote?

Many thanks for your votes & predictions so far - keep them coming before the cutoff this Saturday evening.
I've gone for 2nd - even the best defence can only get you so far

The predictions list looks like this atm:
Gers - 1st
keyser soze - 2nd

I’ve gone for 1st.....I’m not convinced though, if we don’t go up automatically I’d be suprised, disappointed, disgusted, angry ......emotional.
