Taking the positives from this- Graham looks a player, Hamer if what is to be belived won't be here much longer unfortunately, hope the rumours aren't true because we have a decent back 4 there with Clarke thrown in. New French lads can actually play football and seem promising. Gardner had a good game and covered a lot of ground, few stray passes but he will shine if Byrne isnt to play Decent balls into the box ala last season, just need someone there to convert them. One thing though, would of swore Ricketts was playing number 11!! Lots of standing about, hands on hips type play! Miller was statuesqe Venus di miller so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Effectively, we had five players missing and we played well once we settled after the first half hour. That's a lot for any team. Frustrated not to get the draw, but lots to be positive about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Defence switched off a couple of times but that's down to experience. Coke wasn't in the game and like people have said we looked better with Nepo on. Missile put himself about and can pass. Branger also looked good. Can put a good ball in and beat a man I'd rather have Miller on than O'Grady from today's game. Looks more of a handful. Surridge plenty of running just didn't get the rub of the green a few times. So much better second half. Deserved something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 We’ll be reet when we get the best players on there. Really missed Clarke, Hughes. Ps. Williams is a cunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I was worried after 20 minutes, we started so poorly. After that I enjoyed the hard working performance of a pretty young squad. Alot of hard work with a lack of quality is how i’d describe that. Positives that 4-5 who would probably start are injured, and its sounds as though 2 more will come in. We really need to sort the Byrne situation out this week, without knowing the ins and outs I’d love it if we could get him in that team. If MK are the best team in our league then he’d rip this division up when on form. Other than Agard who will score a lot this season I thought they looked very ordinary. Not too impressed with Miller or O’grady, but out of the 2 i’d stick with Miller, O’grady was truly dreadful when he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the best side in this division we have nothing to fear. Start with Nepo and Ogrady over Miller and coke next week and start better and we will beat Forrest Green. Plenty to be encouraged about. Cant agree. O’Grady was pointless when he came on. Stick with the same two up top next week. Play them in to form. Nepo def should start though... as he should have all of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of the game he was being triple marked at times. MK defended well tbf to them, we didn't really muster any clear cut chances. There's a lot of positives to take from that last hour. Overall I'm happy with the performance, we need to improve at the back and we can't afford to give up as much space as we did in midfield. But we grafted hard in the second half and were pushing for an equaliser. Against a lesser defence, we'd have got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not O'grady then give either Byrne or baxter ago as a number 10 behind surridge. Now that could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Had Miller some history with the ref or fucked his Mrs because he seemed to have it in for him from the off, Surridge looks a player though and he and Miller will have some fruitful afternoons in this division they just need a game or two together. You have to feel the difference was Agard though who looked like the only bit of quality they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximus1267 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 In an ideal world a fit Baxter would fit that number 10 spot and the young Surridge would hopefully thrive off him. Byrne should be playing but there are reasons why he isn't, hopefully that can be resolved because there is a great little play maker wasting away his career for various reasons only himself and the management know why and we are really losing out. Such a shame because Baxter and Byrne should have too much class for most of league 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That was in all but name a Division One game, a few teams took a battering in this league today so with a couple of new additions we should do ok. The sooner Baxter is back the better and hopefully the differences with Byrne can be settled quickly Thought Branger and Gardner were the stand outs, but Coke looked way off the pace. Shame Clarke and Taylor couldn't play, their experience was badly missed. A goal poacher and another experiened centre back needed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows that football is all about opinions, I thought O’grady was abysmal when he came on, as did others around me. Miller wasn’t good either but of the 2 Miller caused more problems in my opinion. That’s the single biggest worry for me, we don’t appear to have a lot of goals in the squad. Surridge looks a player so hopefully he’ll be the 1 to put them away.

It was a penalty though wasn’t it? Certainly looked clumsy from the main stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
