I suspect he was referring to referees rather than any interference from the owner.I know there are plenty on here want to blame the owner for everything but I don't think last nights performance was as a result of any team selection from the owner. I do however think that Wild is told not to play certain other fit players because of maybe disciplinary or other reasons e.g.Duffus,Hunt,Coke.

I think saying this lot are the worst he's seen isn't completely impossible to believe... There were some decent things (Hamer’s goal, decent performances from all 3 home grown defenders etc.) but I genuinely thought that the movement off the ball was the worst I’ve ever seen. A lot of the time when we had the ball there was absolutely nobody moving to try to create somewhere for the man in possession to pass to - they all just stood still. Vera was like a 45 year old Ron Futcher, but without the skill (I was a big fan of Ron Futcher). MK Dons offered nothing going forward other than the 2 penalties. I’m still trying to work out why Baxter would want to make that tackle - unbelievable for someone of his experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 If you are going to play one up front they have to be constantly running like Maine, pulling defenders around and making spaces for the midfield players to move into. Vera just stands around waiting for the ball, and O'Grady isn't much better. They both need a second forward with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still trying to work out why Baxter would want to make that tackle - unbelievable for someone of his experience. I wasn't impressed with MK at all(after all they didn't score from open play).I actually thought they were there for the taking but I think we started off showing them far too much respect as we did against the likes of Forest Green and Mansfield and set out as we have done before to contain them for 60 mins and then I guess have a go but when we had to try to get back in the game we had too many tired bodies and a lack of mobility up front.I thought we did OK at times and created some chances but our shooting was not good.I thought our build up play was slow and we did not get enough players in the box or any good crosses in especially when we should have been having a real go.e.g near the end we had 2 players in the box marked by 5 MK players,waiting for a cross yet we had 4 players on the half way line worried that their one lad up front would break away and score.We need to stop playing with so much fear and take a few more attacking risks.

How we could do with Main right now and I'm pretty sure we'd be higher up the table because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lee Erwin under Robinson, who wanted someone to cut some holes in his under shirt because it was cold at Lincoln- No definitely not.
