Good article from Jimmy Bell on site now, agree with it 100%

Re: Milton Keynes Dons Match Thread (H)
 

I agree on this point too........ :mosher:
The forward line looked more balanced with two definitely playing together up front, 'The Bishop and King Charles', and two wide players taking on full backs left and right, Clarke and Pritchard. So importantly getting to the goal line in order to pull the ball back to onrushing forwards.........Always been my favourite ploy!:theband:
Perhaps though, we could have subbed Charles in the last fifteen or twenty minutes as he was shattered having run himself into the ground.
These two are definitely building a good relationship up front. Bishop reminds of Paul Fletcher at Burnley in the early seventies. Fletcher had the ability to jump high and then 'Hang' in the air to get his headers in!:Banane15:
I thought that Zaine Francis-Angol had a good steady game at left back. No histrionics, he was calm on the ball and played his part in much of the good play down the left, linking well with Pritchard and the midfield. Down the right Clarke was at his best and we had good link up play with Johnson often over lapping.:theband:
My only concern was that we still looked a bit susceptible to our opponents running swiftly at us from midfield into the centre of our defence. I was so nervous every time this occurred.:hidewall:
:theband::wave8::rose8:
Finally, what a splendid playing surface we now have.....:alright:
Thanks Andy and well done Buzza! All those hours riding the mower up and down have certainly paid off:banlama:

I would really like to see Phil Edwards given a start on tuesday night, i'm convinced he can still do a good job for us.

I would like to see the PIE WARMER switched on sooner then I can try a hot M&P pie

It was great to see 'our Phil' on the pitch in a Stanley shirt again yesterday, even if it was only for 5 minutes, as his little lad said to me after the game 'finally!' :)

Re: Milton Keynes Dons Match Thread (H)
 

Im 99% sure he will be starting mate.

Re: Milton Keynes Dons Match Thread (H)
 

Good summary from Clarky also on site now.:)

Re: Milton Keynes Dons Match Thread (H)
 

Have to admit I share same concerns regards are goalie and centre backs that smudgie outlines. But I think we concede alot of goals as well down Johnson's side. He is excellent going forward but not the best defending.

still not convinced about johnsons defending either. keeper a decent shot stopper and thats it. hughes a season older unfortunetly. hard to imagine a goaless draw this season.

to me he lost control of the game completely second half, still its par for coarse these days i have seen better refs in local games the standard in league football is chronic.
