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 Just hope we only respect them and not base our performance on what they have and how they,ll likely to play. We need to stamp some of our authority on them and get them to worry how to stop us. Recent recent play not been encouraging at home but neither were the results and performances good before we started that run. We have no option but to go into the game feeling positive as fans and its pointless turning up if we are expecting the worst and getting on the backs of our least liked players.

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! Much as I’d love to believe that, we’re on Sky. The points will therefore be almost certainly be heading down to Bucks come 7:00 on Saturday.

Just hope that we don't get the lead then try to protect it as we become a hostage to fortune. A win puts us 4 points ahead of them with 2 games in hand and should give us a huge amount of impetus.

We just are not an Arsenal of years back where we can be 1 nil to the County and quicker this is realised the better.

Not sure who'll win this one but can see it being a tight game with 1 goal being scored in the last 5 minutes of the match.

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. 100% Let's sing and shout ourselves hoarse.

If Croasdale is fit then he really has to play. Get Sarce, Powell and Camps into the middle with Paddy and Tanto up front. Yes to all of that.

We're 2nd in the league aswell ffs.
I look at some of our fans now and wonder how on earth they survived the numerous relegation battles, the soul sapping National League North campaigns. Maybe the answer is they weren't there to survive anything (not directing this at you Matt)
MK Dons are going to have shit loads of the ball on Saturday and we're going to have to press them at intelligent times and break on them (and we will get chances to do it, they can overplay their hand, they're a good team but as has been said- they're not Real Madrid, if we get up and close at the right moments to press we can rattle them)
And the fans can play a major part in that. 100% we can rattle them. But I'm losing faith in our fans doing it these days tbh.
If we win this, we'll go up.

Again its back to who should be first, the players or the fans. For me its up to the players to initially get the crowd going and not vice versa. Its hard to get aroused recently when you are spending time watching the clock go down and wishing your time over. If they gave the crowd something to shout about they will. If nothing is happening from them what o they expect the fans to do.

Players have given us plenty to shout about.
Football seems to be an entertainment to some people now. If MK Dons have 99% possession on Saturday and we send and aimless hoof up the pitch, score and win 1-0, I would be absolutely delighted.
I actually find it more important for fans to get behind players when we haven't got the ball. Anyone who has played the game knows it's more tiring chasing and gives you that extra bit if you have people willing you on to get up to a player 1/2 yard quicker etc.

personally I don't think it should either but I get that when we misplace multiple passes in a row the crowd in general moans or gets annoyed or even if we're just playing bad in general which we have been doing for most of the season. Although I don't want this, the atomshpere won't change until next season where the ut3 lot need to find a new place to be. Right now they are way too far away from the pitch. Would it matter if 3k of 5k people in the Cheadle end sung? No, but there probably about 1k people maybe 1.5k at most that sing so you need to be closer. I don't know any other club where the singing section is the further place away from the pitch Lt3 right in the middle of the Cheadle end is probably the best place but that's not going to happen so I don't know how to change. People in Hatters 83 have also said that there's about 5 people that run hatters 83 but they need it to be full of about 20 people but the kids in ut3 are too young for them to really take under their wing as they are 10+ years older than most.
