MK Dons (H) - League 1 - 08/09/12

[Rob Harvey]

So, it's Franchise FC up next....a game that generally from my memory results in a draw (apart from last seasons 6 points!).

They have got a few new faces in Ryan Lowe and Jimmy Bullard to name a few (wonder how much he is on??!)

Looking back at their first 6 games of the season:

COC1 - Cheltenham (a) - Drew 1-1 (won 5-3 on pens)
Lge 1 - Oldham (h) - Won 2-0
Lge 1 - Bournemouth (a) - Drew 1-1
Lge 1 - Swindon (a) - Lost 1-0
COC2 - Blackburn Rovers (h) - Won 2-1
Lge 1 - Carlisle Utd (h) - Won 2-0

Predicitons on this one? I think another draw, can't see us keeping a clean sheet.

Good news for some on this board is that Will Grigg will be unavailable for selection due to being with the Northern Ireland squad for their WC 2014 qualifiers. Bowerman upfront, Baxendale in the middle - 4-5-1.

Who would you play in goal? Stick with Grof, or put Jimmy back between the sticks? Jimmy for me.

2-2 - Bowerman n Flo
Att: Sub 4,000 again

[Tyldesley_saddler]

2-1. Bring wacka back aswell.

[latviancheese]

Odds on a jimmy bullard injury? Ill take a point though.

[Willenhall Saddler]

I'll plump for the same scoreline as against Brentford 2-2.

[Cheesebag]

2-1. Bring wacka back aswell.

Why? he cost us this game last year..... :?

[Horozontal Harry]

Are you sure it's on 7/9/12? That's a Friday.

I would hate to stayaway on the wrong day.

W 0 - 2 M 4125 (329 Dons)

[Duke]

one each

[BathSaddler]

My crystal ball sees a battling 1-1 draw in front of another 3,250-3,500 crowd.

[latviancheese]

They lost to Northampton last night, so they cant be that good.

[WelshWalsallBen]

First home game I will miss so will go Walsall win 1-0

Flo first scorer

[StudentSaddler]

(apart from last seasons 6 points!).

Only 3 points for a win. :wink:

[ChopperWFC]

All the young pups on our side to have learned a swift lesson on holding on to a lead over the last week and nicking it 1-0 !!
Up the Saddlers :D

[PT]

Should be yet another entertaining game. We're playing some cracking stuff and our young team are becomming renowned for their style and panache.

Will be intriguing to see how we line up with our number nine on international duty.

Let's go 2-2 with Hemmings and Patterson scoring in front of 3,230 supporters with 231 having bizarrely travelled to support a pretend football club. A club that could well have by now earned their third division status and received the appropriate respect. Unfortunately they didn't earn it so nil respect.

International weekend , no prem or championship games means we are live on WM .

[Tracker34]

Hi all! First post on here for a few years!

Noticed that their defender Gary MacKenzie has been called up by Scotland, will be a big miss for them. Plus with Grigg being on international duty we may get a few goals here! :D

2-2 in front of a silent 3,842.

[King Crimson]

with Grigg being on international duty.

Is that why there's been a week of rioting in Northern Ireland?

No, that was purely down to my sectarian Percy Thrower Garden Centre puns.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I wonder if Percy's middle name was 'molotov-cocktail'.

I think so, he's resigned to the fact!!

[DonningtonSaddler]

2 - 2

Saddlers go in at half time 2-0 up. We totally control the match right up until the the eighty-fifth minute when the defence decides to implode. The Franchise go on to score two goals and draw the match.

3,783 home fans head home suffering from a bout of deja vu.

[Louise]

Heart says 2-0 , head says 1-1.
Either way its a glorious sunny day so see you all there to cheer the lads on :D

[boringteacher]

1-1 Draw - and the pathetic clubstealers from the land of the concrete cows to beg forgiveness on the center circle before opening their veins up in shame.
