Haven't seen Flo for two months and here he is miles off the pace in a league one central midfield.

Baka starting AGAIN....will stop as I am morphing into AM. Think I'd rather bring Jackson back into the fold.


Clueless selections again - unbelievable how he sticks with Baka!

If we have genuinely rested Nicky Devlin because it is his birthday, then that alone is worthy of the sack. He keeps outdoing himself.

Replacing Devin with Kinsella, dropping Kory and Agyei - well those are just the barmy standard he's set.

Funnily enough, I kind of get the Ozzy call, it's the rest of the tweaks that baffle. Oh and where's Flo suddenly popped up from?

Anyway Jons got them in the dressing room now. Believe. Try harder. Cassius Camp. Abseiling. If only we could have an abseiling contest second half.

Come on lads.

Dons goalie hasn't really had anything to do. We have basically been totally lethergic and lacking in any ideas since their goal.

Hate to say it, but Cuvelier is contributing nothing so far.
At least Bakayoko looks a bit more interested than Roberts.
Leahy is having a shocker.
Morris has been OK (by his recent standards).

I think that he might be counting how many teeth they each have left. Remember - it's not the result that counts, it's what they give for the team.

Shouldn’t be difficult for Morris given his contributions so far this season!

I don't have a problem with bringing Kinsella in for Devlin.The latter has not played well recently but the other changes are beyond belief as is the 4-4-2. We should have stuck with 3 at the back ....we need some consistency in formation. As Ray Graydon said players at this level cannot cope with constant changes.I would go to 3 at the back for the second half....just heard he hasn't changed it!

Anything but a grammar test, as I hear he's not proficient at subordinate clauses and the appropriate use of adverbs.

Really important to pick up something tonight as Gills and Wimbledon both won at the weekend and both are currently winning tonight so gap to the bottom 4 is rapidly decreasing.
