    If Kav had a calf issue (even if small), I don't see the point of risking him on Saturday when we also have a Tuesday match. Let's give him more time. Mellon will also benefit from another start.

    lol…a plan, what a load of tosh.
    There’s 72 EFL clubs and only 10 of them achieve anything each season. Maybe the other 62 don’t have a plan.

    You'd hope so the first short corner that completely opened up our defence was a great routine thank goodness the guy who was wide open couldn't get his shot on target, there are loads of different routines out there but for some reason its usually the ball just aimed at the middle of the penalty box, the one I remember (I believe we scored from it) was the one Stuart took lifting the ball over the defence for Blake to get on the end of.

    I've defended Oduor more than almost anyone on here (indeed, he's going to cost be £10 to the Burns Unit through his failure to kick on!) but he's had a lot of chances and hasn't taken them, now we've bought replacements.

    And that he might have been able to get into those mentioned teams is a damning indictment of those teams, rather than praise for Oduor!

    Not in my book You want battlers on your side in this league not wincers. His hard tackle would be the equivalent of the wife’s !

    I remember that game. It was the 4-4 draw against Derby.
    Blake ‘scored’ but it didn’t count as ref had already given a penalty which I think we also scored from

    I recall it too. The traffic was bad and we were delayed getting into VP. We were already 2-0 down when we got in. Yes, I couldn't recall who 'scored' the goal which was disallowed but Beagrie scored the penalty .. and I think Delap was sent off.

    They also used that free kick routine away at QPR and we scored from it. But I think it was Gordon Watson who put it in rather than Blakey.

    McCall to Blake who completely mishits his shot allowing Westwood to tap home from about a yard out.
    Watson got the 3rd in the last minute.

    Yes, after I’d posted I wondered if it was Westwood. Bloody great away day that was. Made even better by Oxford unexpectedly losing.

    I think it would do very well in a second string division, but yeah, like you see would need augmenting with a few first teamers imo.

    It was a game that highlighted Paul Jewell’s tactical deficiencies.
    At 4-3 up we should have shut up shop and seen the game out as we also should have done in the 5-4 loss at West Ham when we were 4-2 up.

    Anyway, back on topic, the law of averages would suggest having already won 8 home games on the spin that this run cannot continue forever.
    Sadly I think the run ends here and we either draw the game 0-0 or lose it 1-0

    Unfortunately it did not show the free kick but what a game I forgot Clarke saved the 4th penalty the referee gave that day some cracking goals from Deano.

    I fancy us to continue our very good home form what Scott Lindsey is saying they aren't playing well but he believe they will turn the corner soon but two of their best defenders are missing through injury Jack Sanders and Nathan Thompson Lindsey was saying they have used three keepers in the short time he's been at MK.

    Yeah, but imagine if we actually did just win all our home games for the rest of the season.

    That would be a but uncanny lol

    No. Didn't somebody say the same at 5 unbeaten. Screw the law of averages. I can only see a win here to make history? Why not? Have we never won 9 on the trot in the league at home ever?

    The chances of winning this game are exactly the same as previous games, no more, no less!!
