MK Dons v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 09.03.21

[1966_and_all_that]

We look determined to let them back into this.

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

Here comes the Alamo....hope we can hold on.....

 

[Memphisboy]

Weak as piss Yates, always losing possession and permanently on the deck appealing to the ref

 

[Sooty59]

It’s h

Hand on heart, in over 30 years of watching us, I can't ever remember going to an away game, getting to half time where we're leading one nil, and then moaning that we were shite.

Every single time I'll have said to myself, happy days, so far so good, I'll take that.

Get some perspective, please.

hardly convincing stuff though. I’ll take it but we are shaky.

 

[Matesrates]

Why? Just don’t get it, why can’t we get at them?

 

[Ormergod]

Husband had been quality tonight

 

[dodgy_surname]

Accrington getting caned

 

[tangerine_neil]

Hanging on again

 

[20togo]

initiative conceded, dwelling too long on ball

 

[tommytwojags]

So, same as last two games. Hanging on for the last 20 mins

 

[Mark_GT]

Subs haven't settled at all yet. We've lost shape a bit.

 

[62years&counting]

Why do we drop off every game.?

 

[Hevster]

Hold Fast! This is definitely becoming our standard. Got to find a way of controlling the close of games better, somehow.

Edit - or try and get a lead of more than 1 goal!

 

[Stanah]

initiative conceded, dwelling too long on ball

Agreed, our whole body language and tactics had the initiative to MK

 

[Matesrates]

Here we go again, backs to the wall, let’s hope the tactic works again like the first half

 

[Halifax71]

We can all see it coming.

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

So, same as last two games. Hanging on for the last 20 mins

So true...but why

 

[tommytwojags]

29% possession. That's embarrasing

 

[Macseasider]

This ref has made the game completely non contact.

 

[CAGU]

71/29% possession. We can’t string two passes together, dreadful

 

[zigire]

29% possession. That's embarrasing

for which team?? They've achieved nothing.

 

[Scaramanga]

We can’t keep the ball for more than 5 seconds, if you cant keep the ball you can’t control it.

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

3 in midfield and 29% possession. That tells me we haven’t had the right players in the middle. Need Kenny to put his foot on the ball.

 

[LeedsSeasider]

29% possession. That's embarrasing

I’d say it was more embarrassing for them considering they’re 1-0 down with 71% possession

 

[mull]

Going to be a long last 12 minutes or so this one

 

[Hevster]

Bloody hell this ref is soft

 

[Markobfc]

We can’t keep the ball for more than 5 seconds, if you cant keep the ball you can’t control it.

It’s the Liverpool way don’t you know

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

Got to score then CJ

Awful finish

 

[zigire]

I’d say it was more embarrassing for them considering they’re 1-0 down with 71% possession

exactly. All they've done is pass it around their back 4

 

[FY5_Seasider]

It's like Critchley tells them to give the ball away and defend. Yes I will take a scrappy win but it's awful to watch. He is a very negative manager. Not what I expected at all.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Is this 1996 again?

Just ** push out, put your foot on the ball!

 

[GTFsTwinBrother]

I'd like Simms on for Yates (yates has worked his socks off). Feel we need Simms up front

 

[Chesterbfc]

My mate Virtue is blowing through his arse

 

[Wizzerboy]

Dougall on for virtue

 

[tommytwojags]

I’d say it was more embarrassing for them considering they’re 1-0 down with 71% possession

Depends on whether you're looking for the play-offs. Nobody gets promoted if they can't keep the ball

 

[Matesrates]

Come on Kenny get a grip

 

[mull]

In parts its been like a half arsed training match. Far too casual although Bryll cream Luke did head a ball tonight. But 3 scrappy points if we hold out.
Far too much kick n charge. The lack of cohesion is concerning

 

[Macseasider]

This game must be a worl record for offsides.

 

[Ormergod]

Nobody knows if Jerome is offside because this camera man has it zoomed in that much all game

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Matt Scrafton

@matt_scrafton

85 - I've never heard Neil Critchley so vocal. He knows this is in the balance. CJ has just taken a rollicking for not holding the ball up, Dougall also gets an earful for giving the ball away (0-1)

 

[mull]

Hate this new offside mullarkay. What is it exactly? Wait until they shoot, see if it misses then flag? Giving me palpitations. Let's keep it tight for injury time please

 

[Matesrates]

Tempting fate here but they’ve not had a shot on target

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

The only thing critchlys tactics say is..we are hard to beat ...and not pretty on the eye...So I guess if it gets us out of this division we would take it.

 

[dodgy_surname]

Shut up for ffs

Blow the whistle ref

 

[Matesrates]

Blow the whistle ref

Please

 

[62years&counting]

Hate this style of play. It's not what we want to see even if we win.

 

[Memphisboy]

We are incapable of stringing 3 passes together
