If ever a team was a reflection of their manager then we are the perfect example.

Dull, dour, and utterly clueless.

I don’t really subscribe to the averaging 2 points per game, having X games in hand stuff etc.

When you look beyond the numbers the truth is we have been scraping wins agains abysmal, perennial tinpit League One clubs despite having had record resources in the division.

We have the best player in the league bombed out and being paid a fortune to train with the kids every week because Parkinson is cutting his nose off to spite his face and is too f***ing clueless/unable to perform a bit of man management.

It’s a matter of time before we start slipping down the league and becoming firmly established as a League One club unless something changes and it’s just not acceptable.

What do you even mean by this 😂 you’re saying because they’re in league 1 they’re not allowed to play fast attacking football even if it’s at a poorer quality to say a champ team?

Not allowed. LOL.

No, I'm saying I burst out laughing when people get so annoyed at the fact control,, vision, passing, shooting etc is of a poor standard from league one footballers :lol:
 
Gooch is trending in the UK and the rest of Twitter can't work out why! 😂
 
Very open and pretty close. We had a good spell at c.30 minutes, but we look vulnerable when they have the ball in midfield. Grigg had a bright start but has been ineffectual since. Somehow we need to dictate the rhythm of the game.

You’re judging it on 45 mins of football

They’re 19th for a reason

I’m not actually.

I was curious before the game regarding how he’d got on since going there. Whilst their results haven’t been great and they’ve suffered from losing players during the pandemic, their playing style has improved with them sticking to their philosophy.
 
Credit to MK they've played well in spells but there's a lot to be addressed.

Im a fan of Scowen but he's not been with it today -maybe still the effects of the concussion - he and gooch really need to step it up as they are key to the system - they were off the boil in the first half and left us without any impetus.

Grigg is going to get hooked isnt he .I'd actually keep him on the field and try and get a tune out of him, his air shot in the box just shows how rusty he is and he wont lose that rust by being in and out of the team. He and Wyke look so laboured and almost always have their backs to goal in our build up play. One burst of energy on an unsuspecting full back was actually a shock to see- not great is it !

The whole team are making the oldies Richard Keogh, Lewington and Cameron Jerome look world class. At least have some energy and get into them!!!!

fingers crossed for a better half
 
Dobbo on for Grigg in the hope of boring the opposition to death?

Graham on in the 80th after dealing with a disgruntled punter on fugati’s depop
