Just for the record M K are assured of a play off finish but could lose fourth spot if we beat them and Huddersfield beat Yeovil at home .

Last 6 league games

Brentford - home - lost 1-2
Preston - away - drew 1-1
Tranmere - home - won 3-0
Scunthorpe - away - won 3-0
Sheff United - home - won 1-0
Rochdale - away - won 2-1

Full home record

won 12 - drew 6 - lost 4 - goals for 45 - against 21

Then again he's brought Grigg in... hmmm.

Love being proved wrong. Nice one Grigg.

There is a goalscorer in there somewhere... just doesn't show it enough.

Anyone notice Sheff Wednesday have 38K+ to witness thier auotomatic promotion...little wonder little old Worsul and our ilk stand no chance against such odds, one matches gate receipts worth over ten of ours!! We have to switch lights out when thier is no one in a room, they will spend the equivalent our our gate receipts on champagne for the party afterwards!

Lovely to put Dongs manager in his place , Robinson often manages to irritate me with his comments.

He wanted a "convincing " win against us ... clearly doesn't know his onions ...no-one turns us over convincingly , and certainly not the top 6 .

No be quiet Robinson and bang goes your home 2nd leg.

Sad er lers

From Sky News Live Commentry
'Neither team can gain control of the match; Key player Alex Nicholls'

The lad has done well this year and convinced me he deserves an extra year, will he get it?

I've seen real progress this year compared to last season. In another 12 years or so, we could be challenging for the playoffs. :D

12 years or so.......little optimistic there don't you think?

Good win by the lads...... UTS onwards and upwards, keep hold of Ledesma and things might be on the 'up' next season!!

Avoided relegation by a massive seven points. Can we celebrate yet?

An unlikely result on paper, but every win against the plastic club is always extremely satisfying, maybe THE most satisfying win of the season, even more so as it's ensured they have to play their home leg first in the play-offs. Now I hope Huddersfield knock them out and SheffU do the same to Stevenage (so it's an MKD vs Stevenage play-off final I guess). :?

Still, at least Stevenage spoiled any party for Lee Hughes at NottsC. :lol:

If Dongers play like that in the playoffs we'll see them again next season.
Great performance from us. Should have had a few more.

Yes he should, we would be foolish to let someone go who can score approx 10 goals a season.
