Lawrence restricted first half but grew in to the game and confidence grew, will do well for us. The other lad didn't look like a football player but can't judge off ten minutes.

Dissapointing frustrated but that's football. A side looking to go up would have dug out a one nil, it wasn't through lack of trying. On to the next game :bluescarf: :ayatollah:



Gareth, there was no booing and our diehard fans stayed till the final whistle.
There was never going to be a good game in those awful conditions.

Lawrence did well :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

We do need to win at home and win 2 games in a row ASAP :ayatollah:


Couldn't agree more, despite the difficulties we needed a win at all costs as inconsistency is our problem. I did hear a few boo at the but take no notice complete clowns. :ayatollah:

Need to win at Charlton next week, and I'll be there :ayatollah:


Ned, We were unlucky, but they nearly snatched a win in the dying minutes and rem, thewyve conceded 13 goals in their last 3 games and today,we failed in front of our home fans once again to get 3pts and could not score a goal.


Annis, like you said about Leicester - there's no such thing as luck and you make your own luck. We can't make excuses about luck or the conditions because the fact is we didn't beat a team we really should have.

Its not good enough to draw these sorts of matches.


Spot on Ned, You make your own luck and it evens out over a season,We have to beat sides like MK Dons if we want to make the play-offs.


Immers played well last week scores a goal and on the bench this week?.

That's not going to give him confidence Hmmmm :sladeout:



Karl, We could not work that one out,why not stick to the same team? ? ?


My thoughts exactly far to many changes every week.

Maybe RS is on a bonus to just keep us outside of the play offs?


It was only one change to be fair.



Ryan, No need for any change, a settled winning side is needed.

Lex Immers played last week.
Lawrence brought straight in, but to be fair he looked good, so where does this leave Lex Immers? ?


Immers is just another option.


Immers not that great imo and wasn't brilliant against Huddersfield just right place right time for 3 yard tap in. But think Lawrence better choice. Also I know didn't see a lot of him today but imo Kenneth zehora looked really poor when challenging for headers

How about if Slade had walked around the pitch before kick-off and noticed the pitch was soft, Option 1. then started a real striker up front, TO HOLD THE BALL UP, then oncoming midfielders and no 10 LAWRENCE, onto the ball. Option 2. Said to his wide midfielders to get past their markers, and whip the ball into striker's head, once again no 10 follows up.
Slade had this team play EVERYTHING THROUGH THE MIDDLE??? Soft pitch, soft manager, he is screwing it up for us, we won't make the play offs playing his stupid tactics!! Slade out, now!!!

Lacked a bit of composure in front of goal,corners we piss poor today!
As for the conditions were the same for both sides try telling that to the both keepers,one slipping on his Arse on kick offs and the other keeping his feet :lol:

Created enough chances today to win 3-0 today but the players really let themselves down today.. Slade deserves no blame as the players just didn't take the chances when they came... What really frustrated me is the players not taking the orders in the second half to attack down Malones side but persisted down Ameobis side where the ball was not playable down his side with the waterlog on that side.. When the game was delayed during the Ameobi goal Slade called Malone over to tell them to attack down his wing as it was more playable.

The truth is, we are paying peanuts for Slade as a manager and you know what you get for that.
Slade is doing the best he can,to his ability :ayatollah:
Also Slade has No plan B.

It took us the second half to have a shot on goal, we were playing a very very poor MK Dons team.
But the pitch was awful to play on today.

I dont blame Slade today. Yes we could of won today,but we could easily have lost as well.
Thats a fair comment about the pitch and where we should of used it better.

The only time I feel Slade should have taken the blame is putting Lawerence on the wing when Pilkington went off and Macheda came on.. I just don't understand the logic of having two strikers who are 6ft+ together.. could have put Lawerence and Zohore together and shifted Pilkington on the wing.

MK did create one or two chances which they could have snook it but I felt we dominated the majority of the game and looked like the most likely to score.

Malone was furious once or twice because of how many times the ball was played that side when Slade wanted to exploit the wing by the Grandstand.

For me it weren't chances we had outside the box.. we had clear cut chances with two with Malone and one with O'Keefe second half Annis.

Thats because Slade, is not a top quality Championship manager, he is very limited and has No plan B.
Not his fault, just a middle of the road manager,who tries his best.

In the second-half, our chances were far better than the first and O'Keefe had a good game :ayatollah:

It was just one of those days today.To be fair I thought the Dons put in the type of performance most sides of that caliber would be pleased with.To me they didn't look like a side that could hurt us although I though Williams played well for them and showed the kind of movement off the ball that sometimes goes missing from our boys.They under used him in my opinion and that was good for us.On another day we would have brushed them aside.
