We've not lost any of our last 5 and they've lost 2 of their last 5, they're not City they're just a pretty good league 2 team, some of the stuff I'm reading makes me wonder why some people bother. I'm normally positive but at this point I feel the negativity on here is actually a fair reflection on the standard of performances recently. |

We look average at the moment but what people seem to be ignoring is that as do all the other teams below us and we’ve got points, GD and games advantage. |

MK last two away games they lost 1.0 Grimsby but prior beat Mansfield 2.1
In both games the home team missed a penalty but the Mansfield game will be a blueprint
They went behind 1.0 Mansfield missed a penalty Mk got back into it with goals either side of half time but most interestingly did a job on Mansfield after they equalised and restricted them to scraps and as we found that is no easy task.
I am glad D.C. has identified this as a key game and saying go out there do your stuff from whistle No excuses.
Fresh legs for me RC and Powell for 75 minutes Madden from start.

We’ve not been very good but neither has anyone else. Mansfield have shown they can still turn it on while also slipping to defeats, and MK have obviously won a lot of points since their managerial change, but to read some of the stuff on here you’d think everyone else was flying. They’re not, everyone is sputtering to the end of the season which is sort of normal. |

If Croasdale is fit then he really has to play.
Get Sarce, Powell and Camps into the middle with Paddy and Tanto up front.
I'd be tempted to put Hippo in at LB but they will stick with the same back 4 unless Kanes quad is worse than thought.
In that case it's gonna need to be a back 5, isn't it..

Clough described them as best footballing side in Division when they won at Mansfield and said their midfield will have the ball for long periods We need our best midfielders on pitch and pressure them |

I have a feeling challinor will go 532 and try not lose the game but in reality we probably need 451 Hinchliffe Kane, horsfall, pye, touray Croasdale, camps, sarcevic, powell, hippolyte Tanto Midfield with Croasdale and camps sitting back abit and hippolyte, sarcevic and powell behind tanto. They play a 5221 but the striker doesn't do loads in terms of G/a it's all the lwb and midfielders. They are okay at set set pieces. The cbs that started the last game have 7 goals between them which is decent in the league. Ours have 2 goals. Byrne in the cup and Wright but both were long shots |

I think Mat is probably right that we may play a 5 in the middle but the best way to keep midfielders busy is give them something to think about. We largely dominate possession in our play. I don't see that changing Saturday. We are as good if not better than these. The table says so. No point shitting it. What formation and personnel are our best side and play it. Id trust Croasdale, Pye and Horsfall to control the middle of the pitch with Camps and Sarce around them. |

If it were Notts Countys formation then it would be a back 3 in my eyes because they use wingers as the wide men. If we played for example this would be a back 3 imo. Just picked random players there's probably a more balanced way or a better selection Hinchliffe Wright, horsfall, pye Richards, camps, Croasdale, sarcevic, hippolyte Tanto, madden |

For Saturday, would really like to see Pye at LB and Hipo in front of him. That can easily morph into a three at the back if necessary.

I have a good feeling about this. I think for the first time DC has acknowledged the table and the importance of a win for either side. This positivity is encouraging although, thanks to the late kick off and the fact I have to show my face at a friend's birthday party, I will miss the first half. Still second half is usually when we come alive! 3 points incoming I think!

Probably been said previously on this thread, but we have our part to play. We simply have to make some noise. This is it. The run in. Silence is not an option. Get behind the team. Urge them on. Sing. Shout. We can't just wait for something to happen on the pitch. With a big raucous fired-up atmosphere, the players will respond. Let's make it a difficult, inhospitable place for MK Dons. Let's get behind the team.
