Matchday Thread - MK Dons v PNE (17/12/11)MOTM Poll Added

I think you're right.
Although Barton is playing quite high up the pitch, it looks like Hume will be chasing a lot of long hopeful balls 🙁

It doesn't look like there's much faith in Tsoumu.

Probably saving him to replace Hume who won't last the game.

 

[Sepp Blatter]

Bloody typical - for once, my internet connection is working, but we have now had a power cut. Hope my laptop battery will last long enough to watch the second half. 🙁

 

[Rally Monkey]

He didn't even wait for the sub to get ready just walked down the tunnell.

I get the feeling that his priority is staying fit for the transfer window.

 

[stf4ever]

It's shit, simply put.

We love giving the ball away, aimlessly running into opposition defenders, and lumping the ball upfield.

The Barton substition was the wrong one. Should have been Tsoumou.

Mayor looks like he's been told to run at the full back every time he gets the ball. He's done ok, but sometimes takes his instruction too literal.

If we can hang onto this, playing with 10 men behind the ball, then give Grezza and Unsworth the job. We might as well.

he doesnt have a problem running at people...just knowing when to pass the ball once he does...always tries to beat too many playters

I normally hate blaming referees, but this guy is a nightmare - penalising North End for everything.

 

[wld]

Since when are you allowed to lead with your elbow to protect yourself? This summariser is a complete tool!

 

[Castolo]

That MK Dons player just led with his elbow then started rubbing the back of his head, never touched him. Ref is appalling, everything is going MK Dons' way. Come on boys.

 

[Retfordpete]

Hume isn't close to being fit.

 

[Dannypne7]

Hume isn't close to being fit.

Correct, no way should he be up front on his own.

 

[wecarealot]

AND the commentators on sky sports are like "oh, there was no way that was intentional". What?! This is really biased commentating!

[wazman]

great save

 

[Wisemen say]

Correct 4-5-1 is not working, 4-4-2, since Mellor went off we have created nothing and are defending deeper and deeper, we have no forward outlet !

 

[baldavenger]

Ball retention virtually non existent at the minute...long 35 mins ahead I think!

 

[mark_munich]

We are playing way too deep, need to push up. Barton needs to play more off Hume as a Parkinesque forward and not in the free role position

 

[carlins_leap]

Again this biased commentary team are pissing me off!
It's hard to watch this though, not showing much confidence 🙁

I fear that it's a matter of time.

 

[Sam635]

Would prefer us to retain possession but it must be said, we are defending superbly.

Agree, that Jock commentator doesnt know his stuff either, news to me Ferguson signed Coutts for PNE from Highland League, didnt know Peterboro played there!
