Boxing Day: - 26th December

We did tell Bradford fans but they wouldn't listen....honking line up that will get the defeat it deserves.

Aye and we told you different. We will be proven right.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Morecambe will win this the Carlisle crowd is turning quite nasty on its team whole place has stench of club in total decline currently

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

And 5 minutes later it’s Carlisle 0-1 Morecambe and Carlisle get a man sent off.

The red card may………may just be the o my shining light for Carlisle the crowd was turning very nasty on team but them sportive unjust red cards may switch focus to get crowd on side

Proper poachers goal by Kian Harratt.

Tired looking performance from us 2nd half IMO. I think I'd be giving some of the fresher players goes next game even if they are kids, some of these players are running on fumes and it's showing later in games

 

[Gladders]

First lge win over Harrogate, should have been more comfortable than it was

 

[valefan16]

Dire result that, did the hard bit and got back in it, then Jesse goes to sleep on a bread and butter set piece in the box, despite plenty of pressure we couldn’t find the equaliser and what was a ridiculous red card in the end looking at it replayed on TV.

Bradford bang average but with that one piece of quality up front, as I said pre game we’d get punished and we did, looks like our only remaining central midfielder is out injured now too.. happy days.

 

[kieran_vale]

Shite result. Improved second half but never really good enough still. Need to beat Grimsby next or I can see patience running out on Moore. Sang sent off in stoppage time, didn't seem a lot in it to me from the camera angle at least so would imagine we'll try and appeal it.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Aye and we told you different. We will be proven right.

Nope. As predictable as day turns to night that was. As you quite rightly pointed out, keep Cook quiet and Bradford haven't got much else....we didn't. Having said that, ref missed a penalty near the end and the sending off seemed soft but it was all a bit late.

We really are a poor team.

I was expecting a free kick to us and looked as though their lad shoved into him, then rolls around holding his face. They tried it first half and it didn’t work but the referee went with that one.

Expect an appeal on it. Otherwise we will be picking fans out the away end to play midfield Sunday.

 

[jacobncfc]

We’ve cracked it (shamed the manager into crowdsourcing the line up).

First half was a bit slow and boring but overall I was astonished by how poor MK were, we dominated that throughout really and wouldn’t have been flattered by another goal or two.

 

[RavenBish]

played everyone in their proper positions and won again. Let’s hope Maynard’s learnt his lesson here.

Palmer, Abbott and Crowley superb in the middle. Tsaroulla starting to look like a real player as well now he’s on the left again.

Galaxy brain stuff from Lindsay to leave Nemane on the bench as well.

 

[AR27]

Better from us. Nothing great but competent at least.

We are a one man team but fuck me what a man Cook is. Fantastic goal and third all time top scorer is some going considering the teams he's been a part of.

Vale were dire. Second to Swindon as the worst side I've seen this season. Says it all about the league that they're second.

 

[Gladders]

Port Vale haven't won in 6 games and still second, shows how poor this league is and only Walsall want to get promoted.

I knew exactly what was going to happen but all your fans were adamant that it wouldn't.

Thought you were dire to be honest apart from Cook but we love making teams look half competent.

As you say, it says it all when we are 2nd, still. What a godawful league it really is.

More about our injury crisis I would say, take your full midfield out and your best player and you’d be dire.

We had Byers, Garrity, John, Harper, Shorrock, Hart all out, for some reason never went to Curtis to try and change it… we need January and to not mess around when the window opens. That result has been coming for a while and Moore loses Sunday huge pressure will start to mount from the sidelines.

 

[dannyc5]

One thing I've always said in life. When you go 1 up away from home, put your LB into central midfield. No brainer.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Oh shit yeah, I forgot players under 30 don’t get injured do they

I did some research and although they do it's significantly less than over 30s. Which should surprise everybody nobody.

 

[RavenBish]

has John ‘definitely not crocked, just here because he wants to play for Cook, not because no-one else will sign him’ Fleck played a game yet?

 

[spireite]

has John ‘definitely not crocked, just here because he wants to play for Cook, not because no-one else will sign him’ Fleck played a game yet?

Of course he has. Played a cup game, looked fat and way past it and went off after 10 minutes injured. Baller.

It's taken him the best part of two months to come to the conclusion the rest of us reached in October.
Inverse wingers didn't work for him last season and even worse this. Tsaroulla and Austin look so .much happier, Tsaroulla playing very well last two games.
Anyway, fair play to Maynard, made MK look very moderate, Jatta could have had a hat trick on another day.

Definitely should have won by more than 2, off day in front of goal for the big man.

I expect some of the 8 or 9 Notts fans who have all tried to win Stadium MK and failed to call Stuart Maynard to either congratulate or ask him how he did it.

Back to back comfortable deserved wins and bonus clean sheets against playoff/promotion rivals. Not too bad from Part Time Stu and avoids the embarrassing reactionary calls for his sacking whilst in the playoffs for at least a few days.

 

[RavenBish]

I guess people who said he shouldn’t be playing in League 2 were right after all then

 

[OneDecentLester]

To absolutely nobodies surprise, the injuries have caught up with us at last and Bradford will have their easiest game of the season on Sunday.

Shame I’ve already bought my ticket ffs

Roll on January

I will give Austin his due, think he’s been fine the last 2 games. Offers little to no attacking threat as he can’t beat a man but been tidy enough on the ball and ‘done a job’ defensively

 

[LS Bantam]

Never saw that coming, couldn’t believe how gash Vale were and reading Chesterfield’s injury crisis could well be looking at two in two from what looked like previously as two of our hardest games.

 

[spireite]

Yea it was always a risk. Whether it was one worth taking, based on the outcome you'd say not. The odd thing is they had a LONG look at him, he was training with us for weeks, and still decided to sign him. He must have shown something. He got injured before a ball was kicked in anger though. You wonder if it's that injury that's finished him completely off which is unlucky for him. Can see him being one we try to turf out. There's a few others you imagine we might just pay up too

 

[OneDecentLester]

Just wondering why all Notts fans are worrying about who we have / haven’t signed again?

Have they won a game or something, getting all excited again?

 

[GTFCfish]

Our Harrogate hoodoo is finally over, still nearly managed to throw it away too in injury time after dominating but very happy to finally beat then.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Pretty even first half but the second showed the difference, Walsall looked dangerous and were clinical and we looked like we didn’t have a clue

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Sounds awfully familiar to how excitable Chesterfield fans got when they eventually overtook us in the league table recently.

We've never won at Stadium MK and won 2 in 12 versus the new Dons so understandable right?

I guess that's football for you.
