Statistics...... The only one that matters is that we got 3 points.
MK Dons are a team very low on confidence and it showed. We came with a game plan and it worked perfectly. In fact if you think back over the game we only allowed them the one shot against the bar. Our defence were superb, as they have been for most of the season. We pressed them and pushed them back and we had far more chances even though our possession was low, we did this off the ball and we still could have won it 3 nil.
I don't think it's a formation that we will use at home and not that much away either to be honest but that was carefully thought out and delivered to perfection. The pitch was shocking too don't forget. We also stretched them once we bought on Mitchell (who looked really good) and CJ (who looks really rusty) and the change of Dougall for Virtue gave us that defensive bite in midfield (Something he should have done on Saturday).
For all the squealing and angst on the MDT, which I think was a continuation of the frustrations (rightly so) of Saturdays poor performance, we actually won that pretty comfortably and it's another 3 points which puts us in 11th, 4 points behind 6th place with 3 games in hand.
We would all like to see us always play slick, attacking football, but that is never going to happen, it will against some teams, but this is about getting results and climbing up the table. We have won our last 3 away games and drawn 2 at home, 11 points from 5 games and we have been doing that consistently for the last 20 games.
I think those of you who were unhappy with that performance should sit back and reflect, reflect on a job well done and a good 3 points. Madine still to come back into the team and CJ who will be getting more match fit with every game.
We are still on a really good run and I hope we can keep it going. Keep the faith.
