MK Dons vs Rovers

[Camdenite]

Apparently not Camdenite because if we're playing at home we can't beat fucking anyone

You think that's going to last all season? How many teams have we faced where you've come away thinking "fair enough, they were better than us on the day" Bradford & Northampton. That's about it for me.

It really is a poor league this season and just about anyone can beat anyone.

Glad to read this again. We have been competing in a "poor league this season" ever since we got back into the FL and it'd be a shame to ruin the streak.

Last year, the promoted teams included a team with eight fans, a team that didn't win a game until April and runaway champions that were propelled to success by the 19th best Northern Irish striker. Perspective, please.

Interestingly, it was the ability of any team to beat anyone that got the Premiership it's "best in the world" label.

 

[Camdenite]

In other games he's been fine. So no, I'm not concerned really.

It must be just us then. He had a 'mare the first day of last season for Rotherham against us too. Exactly the same sort of performance, shelling long distance shots and looking all over the shop as we romped to a 4:1 win.

Having been at this level for much of the last ten years, I can tell there's definitely nowhere near the quality this season.

And having supported Oxford for the last six years, I can assure you that I've been told something similar every single season.

Has the horrible smug, smarmy, jumper wearer resigned yet ?
More excuses i read just

Boss Karl Robinson says MK Dons may have to "cheat more" to win matches.

Robinson was left upset by a number of refereeing decisions as his side conceded twice in the final three minutes to draw 3-3 at home to Bristol Rovers in League One on Tuesday.

Clearly i wasn,t there and the ref may of been garbage, but Mk had more yellows than Gas yet he whining about over physical approach.
Last home game v ourselves he was ' sick ' that they hadn,t won, yes we weren,t worthy of a win but they hardly battered us, i hate this smug git with a passion.

 

[Super_horns]

Yet Robinson admitted his own side weren't smart enough to see the game out - now whose fault is that?

He claimed there was some sort of foul for Bristol Rover's 2nd goal but also admitted they should have just cleared the ball in the first place but he like them to play football and take risks.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

He's just an idiot, honestly don't know how he's STILL in the job.

I have absolutely no idea how we rescued a point because that is the worst we've played this season by a mile. We were really poor all over the park and DC has come out and admitted as much. He will have given the lads an absolute rocket at full time because we should have been comfortably beaten.

BUT, there is no denying 3-3 is a great result after a characteristically strong Rovers comeback. Taylor is an outrageously good striker and took his goals really well - when you have a player who can do that you will always have a chance in games. The celebrations were superb amongst the 1008 Gasheads and it felt like a win at the end.

By the way, that Colkett back heel into the path of Clarke-Salter was sensational. Wow.

 

[ComeOnIrene]

Oh, and Karl Robinson is 100% having a breakdown.

Tell me about it

We were very poor for much of the game and were lucky to come away with a point. Having said that Roos gifted MK the first goal and should have done better with the third.

Although we were better in the second half I couldn't see us getting back into the game until Colketts sublime back heel to Clarke-Salter gave Taylor an easy finish. I think panic set in for MK at that point and they self destructed.
