Re: MK Dons away thread.

Poor display from Stanley today. Particularly weak in midfield where our players were simply too slow, very slack at marking and really lacking in combativity. MK Dons outplayed us all over the pitch with better skills and passing. We did well to get back into a match at 2-2 which we could have been losing 5-0 and it was poor game management not to hold onto that point! With midfield players carrying yellow cards I would have subbed one of them with 20 to 15 minutes remaining and brought on Maguire, to bring on fresh legs and to protect against a possible second yellow card/ red card. Only Stanley player to deserve real credit today was the ever consistent Nottingham. Smyth and Charles also worked very hard but didn’t get any decent service from our weak midfield. Savin and Hughes need to be told that they do not play for Man City! The Dons pitch was as poor as ours like a stodgy pudding! The commentators were annoying and poorly researched on the Stanley team. The two assistant referees interpreted the new off side rules inconsistently regarding when the flag should be raised. A good job Stanley have got so high up the table because at the moment, with all our injuries and now a lack of confidence, it is difficult to see where our next win can be achieved.
Still we have to continue to BELIEVE that we will turn the corner.
ON STANLEY ON.
KEEP THE FAITH.
