MK Dons (H) League One Sat 8th Feb, 3pm

[BathSaddler]

Surely we shud be looking at a 5k gate?

Then you will be disappointed, Cuzo24. If we get 4,000 'home' fans for this we will be doing very well. MK Dons are not exactly a big draw, either.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Starting line-up against MK Dons:

O'Donnell

Purkiss
Benning
Chambers

Downing
Butler
Mantom

Brandy
Westcarr
Sawyers
Lalkovic

Substitutes: Featherstone, Hemmings, Lewis, Baxendale, Hewitt, McQuilkin, Ngoo

(A note of caution.......Izale (swallow-dive) McLeod starts for the Dongs, number 13 :evil: )

[Welsh_Saddler]

Can't see this being a pretty football fest if this weather is moving north.

A gutsy 2-0 in front of 4312 including 209 Mongs. Lalkovich with the goals.

Don't worry if Welsh Saddler goes AWOL this afternoon. Odds on for a power cut up in them there hills with these winds :mrgreen:

I've suffered with the wind for years....... :wink: (to be accurate, the people around me have suffered :D )

[Welsh_Saddler]

Interestingly, Andy Taylor was declared fit earlier this week, but doesn't even make the bench.....

[bangsection]

There are no defenders on the bench at all. All out attack Blitzkrieg Lighting War.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Elsewhere...... Oldham Athletic 1 Bristol City 0

And James Constable puts Oxford Utd 0-1 up at Bristol Rovers

In the first 10 minutes, MK Dons have had 2 shots, 1 off target and 1 saved - both from Izale McLeod. We haven't started yet......

Bradford 0 Crewe Alexandra 1

Sheffield United 1 Shrewsbury Town 0

Notts County 1 Coventry City 0


I think we're being played at our own game......12 minutes gone and we have 29% of the possession, MK Dons with 71% :shock: :shock:

[Welsh_Saddler]

McLeod shot rattles our crossbar....... :shock:

Elsewhere, Tranmere Rovers 0 Preston North End 1

Port Vale 1 Swindon Town 0

[TheSwift]

If we lose this and both Taylor + J.Chambers are actually fit, then I suppose the moaners will come back. :?

Vale winning at home v Swindon.

That wasn't you at Swindon a couple of seasons ago was it? Truly appalling! :mrgreen:

If it was, I recommend cutting down on the pickled eggs! :D

[BarnsleySaddler]

Looks like we are being outplayed but need to get into this match.

[chestersaddler]

McLeod shot rattles our crossbar

Dropped onto rather than rattled according to the commentary.

They are definitely on top though, with McLeod getting plenty of mentions.

[TheSwift]

Stepping into Sallian's shoes at the moment:

We have had 0 shots, MK have had 5.
We have had 0 on target, Mk have had 1.
We have had 0 corners, MK have had 1.
We have had 29% Possesion, MK have had 71%.
We have conceded 4 fouls, MK haven't conceded any.

Hmmm

[TheSwift]

YESSSSSSSSSS! MANTOM!!!!!








Has won us a foul.

[TheSwift]

39% Possesion now!

C'mon you Saddlerz!

[chestersaddler]

0-1 McLeod

[shrewsbury saddler]

According to WM, they're playing into the wind. Goal kicks going back into the box. Might be enough to go in 0-1.

[TheSwift]

Poo.

[chestersaddler]

According to WM, they're playing into the wind. Goal kicks going back into the box. Might be enough to go in 0-1.

[Ancient Moaner mode] Ar, but this is Walsall. The wind is bound to change direction during the half time interval [Ancient Moaner mode]

[BarnsleySaddler]

Walsal 0-1 McLeod. Seems to be only him playing for MK.

Memories of Clayton Ince at Yeovil a few years back...... :lol:

[BathSaddler]

According to WM, they're playing into the wind. Goal kicks going back into the box. Might be enough to go in 0-1.

That may explain the bizarre statistics then. I don't see why we can't hold possession when we do get the ball.

I'll take 0-1 at Half time and then let's hope the wind direction remains the same in the second half.

Methinks we need to get a grip, decent chance to cement our 6th place an theym all over us like a rash, whats gewin on??

[BrightonSaddler]

Smmeeethhh get the NGOO on will ya! :x

[TheSwift]

I heard a rumour we have had a shot...but it was a lie.

[BrightonSaddler]

[Welsh_Saddler]

Port Vale 2 Swindon Town 0 now (41 min)

Butler sent off - and we have no defenders on the bench.

Penalty converted, now 0-2 :(

[chestersaddler]

Penalty to them

[chestersaddler]

[TheSwift]

Is Ngoo now going to be put in defence?
