    I reckon there will have been quite a few season ticket holders who will have paid to watch on i-follow,rather than trail out on a cold and wet Feb.night.

    So would last night's if it had been announced. There's a reason it wasn't and last years was.

    We all know that is seats sold and not actual supporters in the stadium.

    A few have got to have a moan about something, the product on the pitch from both sides was as good as we've seen this season, nothing wrong with the pitch, so let's have a go because fans who have already committed their season ticket money did not fancy attending for what ever reason, I hope they bring a sick note when they attend the Sutton game on Saturday.

    Superb team performance. Cracking strike from Platt. Tomkinson was superb on the cover using his pace to great effect.

    Hope this is the springboard to go on a 4/5 game winning run and propel us into the playoff spots.

    The only player who disappointed me on the night was Young. I know he got a knock just after he came on but his play reminded me of him at the start of last season he looked disinterested

    Tactically it was a masterclass from Alexander, knowing MK like to play out from the back into the space between the lines we sat deep and compact and pressed as a compact unit. It completely nullified them as an attacking threat, then be clinical with the smaller amount of possession we had. 28% possession but creating the better chances is best performance yet from GA as our manager. I've rightly questioned some his decisions and personnel used but going back to the 3 centre backs he used night is the platform.

    I didn't think the weather was as bad as I thought on the night, but your right many might have made the choice of watching from home, but those that preferred to stay at home it was a great night all round, but I hope they amalgamate the drummers and those in the North West stand back into the top of the kop.

    I take it you didn’t read the bit about “at VP”.

    I'll have to politely disagree with you on this one. Not sure what exactly we could have done any better against arguably the best possession based team in the division. MK one of the form teams in the division under Williamson, we carried out the managers instructions to he letter to a tee. Be a different game on Saturday again and will be interesting to see how Alexander approaches it, Sutton are as basic as football gets.

    2 of us watched from home last night; 1 for health reasons, the other because of working times. Don't forget, we have many fans who have to travel distance.

    Of course we do. Point is, at practically the same time last year, there were more there than there were last night and that's why the attendance was announced then and not last night. Last year against Tranmere it felt like there were 12 to 13 thousand there, last night I reckon it was 8 to 9. The game last year was also on ifollow and from memory, it was also half term as well. At the moment, some fans are definitely voting with their feet, it's undeniable.

    At the end of the game, he looked like he was holding back of his thigh Park.

    No mate he was obviously disinterested to a point where he wishes he'd never come back. Hughes was right about him......

    It was not that I couldn’t be arsed as you so delicately put it. I said I was not going back to VP until they improved, I might even not buy a ST next season depends which way this one goes and other off field activity.

    The 'official' attendance (rather than the number of bums on seats) wasn't even reported as part of the match report on the club's website. That's the first time I can recall when it hasn't been reported for a home fixture. Is the club becoming embarrassed by the obvious difference which we can all see between the 'official' attendance and the 'real' attendance?
