    Yes.

    Platt on.
    Chapman for Osadebe.
    Smith for Wilson.
    Go 4-3-3.
    Gilliead, Macdonald, Pointon
    Smith, Cook, Chapman

    Have Gilliead protecting the right and Pointon the left.
    Right now Osadebe isn't tracking back and neither is Wilson.
    We need legs around Kev.
    Right now only Gilliead in there with him.

    Their commentators said he goes quite often and has been fairly regularly since leaving L##ds.

    Said earlier today that those four are the weakest link and don’t offer nearly enough to build any momentum. Chapman needs to come on if he’s fit and ready to go. We’ve handed them the initiative and it’ll be hard to wrestle the momentum from them now.

    Still not impressed with Cook, when the ball is crossed into the box, go for it man, don't just stand there waiting for it to come to you! More overall movement please, at least look interested!

    As I have said for a day or two it was always going to be tough tonight with Smallwood and Walker out and Mac with very few minutes under his belt. And the new manager bounce from MK

    We looked a bit better towards the end of the half.

    It was poor gaps down the wings and through midfield. Hopefully we will have a better second half.

    My thoughts on that half

    MK Dons look a cut above
    Too energetic an vert direct
    We look very exposed, both in the middle an at the back
    Taylor is pushing up far too often an its leaving space at the back, an Mcdonald hasn't got the legs to cover the space
    Halliday an Ridehalgh havent got the pace to get back an cover the exposed space
    Lewis should of saved the 2nd goal, Didnt see what he did to give away the corner for the first
    Cook is limping
    Osadebe isnt doing much, needs subbing
    Wilson started off shit, grew into the game a bit, but hes getting doubled up on because its taking too long to get the ball to the forwards

    Should be 5 or 6 down, they’re playing how possession football should be done and why it’s better than hoofing it long despite what some on here think. I’d have liked Williamson and said so weeks ago, shame really feel like we may have missed another Ian Evatt.

    Hard to tear any individual apart it’s been shocking all round. Need a much improved performance second half and that’s just to avoid a hammering.

    Your right but Cook is the least of our worries, their cutting through us like a knife through butter, so many poor performances first half but at 2 - 1 were still in the game.

    First half, we are clearly second best. We could come back but we’re papering over the cracks. Get a manager in and sort this squad out. Too many players just not good enough. I’d bring in Cowley tomorrow.

    No one is disagreeing but MK have made us look very ordinary, only a goal down can McDonald make changes that lift our game ?.
