    Never stopped motivating his team mates all night, I hope Odour can keep this sort of performance up or improve on tonight's performance Smallwood and McDonald with Odour in front looked very good tonight.

    Well that was a fantastic performance, great togetherness throughout and really good teamwork. MK certainly wasn’t expecting that and massive credit to GA for masterminding a very sweet revenge for the loss at theirs earlier in the season

    Now let’s capitalise for a change and wallop Sutton on Saturday, no reason we can’t repeat tonight’s result against a team what would have been a banana-skin up to recently

    I don't think we'll wallop them, but a win of any variety would be just fine!

    Some really pleasing aspects from tonights game.
    Gilly ( I call him that I can never spell his surname correctly) had a really good game, I actually prefer him at LWB.
    The whole team had a strong determination and drive about them.
    I was disappointed in Young not starting, however GA got tactics spot on, MKD came to play their style and first half attempts to cut us open was met by excellent covering by the back three, particularly Tomkinson, who's pace stopped much of their threat.
    The overall game of Walker was what I'd expect to see, he's carried on his form from Wrexham, taking pressure from his defence by coming out to collect the ball, great sound position for shot stopping, three clean sheets with him in goal is no coincidence. He's looking an upgrade on Lewis ( this season). Sound judgement
    By Gent?..
    And a huge plus, chances taken, hence not having to witness huge amount of time wasted by opposition, and most importantly taking pressure off the defensive side of our game.
    Such a shame we've squandered so many points this season, as it's all a bit too later to be wiping the floor with quality sides like the Dons.
    Hopefully a strong finish to the season may help RS shift tickets, I'll re-new without a doubt, not because Im some uber fan, but because I'm institutionalised into watching what they serve up, and what else would I do with my Saturdays, watch some premiership stuff on sky with a load of twats sat in Man Utd and Leeds shirts, fk that !! Haha

    We can hope!

    Seems like Wrexham struggled with them tonight though, scoring late in each half!

    I said at half time their passing and movement was superb, Jack Payne behind most of it, when you see him having to go back to the edge of their area you know your doing the right thing.
    Although they were 4 - 0 down they continued to play it, possesion football, we took our chances they didn't, but when called upon our defence were very good including Walker..

    I thought Gilliead did a fantastic job at left wing back, keeping the MK winger quiet and then moving into midfield - MOTM for me but all deserve credit.

    Also hopefully some of the stay-aways will be tempted to come on Saturday, another very visible low turnout tonight for understandable reasons

    We could really build on these last couple of games and who knows what can happen. Yes maybe I am getting a tad giddy and excited but we deserve to after the shite we have seen this season

    I'm not sure what just happened, but I enjoyed it. Also, pancakes. What a day.

    Not daft at all another day they could have had 4/5 but everyone fought for each other tonight a great back to the wall defensive performance at times.

    Their movement off the ball was as good as any side I've seen this season, but they couldn't put it together which shows GA has got this defence doing the right thing most of the time.

    Mocking their possession based football with 10-15 minutes to go while 4-0 down was sweet though :cool:

    That's when style of play just becomes completely brainless. What use is having the ball in your own half when all you're doing is effectively heaping more soil on your own casket.

    The lad was saying to me earlier, they were a team who liked to play it out from the back, and didn’t have an answer or alternative plan of action when in a losing position. Kind of like us under Hughes i suppose

    Strange how a defence can look more solid with a solid confident goalkeeper behind them.
    We’ve had Carlisle’s pants down. Walker is definitely an upgrade.

    It might have looked bad but both teams played some cracking football on it tonight.

    Cracking performance - well done to the lads and GA, who got his selection spot on. Strong performances all across the side and great to see us give someone a pasting. Victory was never in doubt. [glances at top of the league table for first time in a while]

    Every one of the starting 11 was 7/8 out of 10. Tomkinson was really cool and swept up any trouble. Great shape across the team and a nasty little edge to us. Sadly the ref was there for us to notice him.

    Need to keep focussed for Sutton who will play a completely different game.

    Despite the % possession I thought we were value for the win. Their first shot on target in the first half was that free kick on half time.

    Walker is so calm and collected. Great save second half to keep another clean sheet.

    And then the subs who could all argue a starting place. Though I think we may be too late to secure any sort of top 7 finish.

    On current form, no question about it.

    I'm not sure it will work out like that long term, but Walker looks really solid right now.

    A very good performance all round, I thought both Gilly and Halliday have had good games.
