Get Berry on. If they stand off him like they're standing off Dobra he could get a hattrick.
Banks stupid lunge looks to have damaged his right knee. I'll be surprised to see him back after HT.
Our back line is very high. Presumably Grimes has sorted Arajo to cover for him? Let's hope so.
Arajo needs to stop blocking his man else he'll be off too.
These don't look anything special. Although we look quite likely to hand them a few more goals.
Shame we haven't picked up defender Jake Rooney from Derby on loan as yet. He'd be very handy at this level.
Tonight starts to make the home draw giveaways look increasingly important
Anyway, let the 2nd half fun commence

The worry is the season peters out into bottom half nothingness, season ticket sales drop thought the floor and the playing budget is cut. We struggle to get the players we need through the door and it?s a re run of the same failings we?ve seen so far with sub standard players who can?t play Cooks tactics.
Has Kier Starmer written your script?

I would take Grigg off now and save his legs, and bring Berry on up top
Not good to give up on a game but I agree with you about taking Grigg off. Time to think about Saturday.
He is also on the verge of a suspension

Attack is the best form of defence, .. or our only hope?

Poor start and Jessop looked out of his depth, Shakleford can?t be fully fit - injuries have done us, especially in midfield and just after we were getting back into the game and should have scored Oldaker does summat daft!
It?s not great but it?s nowhere near as bad as some are saying considering the circumstances - some need a reality check! Again, a top half finish this year is fine, anything better is great!

Banks does seem to have done himself a discurtesy by trying to murder Maguire. He was lucky to get away with that one, card-wise. Seemed a rather poorly disguised attempt to smash the lad.

Should happen at HT but we all know it will happen around the 75th min mark after MK?s third goal.
Oldaker will get hammered and rightly so, I?m furious with him. But nowhere near as furious as I am with Cook throwing Jessop under the bus tonight. He was clearly nowhere near ready for this level, never mind away at MK dons? and to then drag him off after 26 minutes? utter urine poor management. Mandeville should have started right back (that?s his position in this league for me anyway, hasn?t got the pace or sharpness to play in the 3 behind the striker).
Would snap your hands off for this to finish 2-0 if offered it now.

I disagree, got caught on the ball again and wrapped his arm around his legs to stop him breaking. Defo a yellow

Exactly because when he plays it forward he makes dangerous passes. I?m not having a go at him as a player , it?s just his default pass is to pass backwards , it seems to not cross his mind that he can turn on it and at least have a look.

I totally agree! Either way, once you've been booked, keep your toys in the pram. What was a sizable mountain after 12 seconds is now even steeper.

Exactly mine too both very harsh and he had to complain about the professional foul on him

Irrelevant really though, once he?s shown the first yellow he needs to keep his mouth shut.
