What do you think about the match?

I think, critical match. Luck of the draw, because difficult away.
But hopefully, we will win!

 

[mattbianco1]

I love these threads

A draw would be fantastic

Yes it is. But if we win more wonderful

 

[sheffielder]

This might suit us more than the games at Gillingham and Colchester. MK Dons need the results so should come at us, which hopefully means quick counters could be the dish of the day.

Gillingham and Colchester cookies for us However MK Dons a little more difficult.

Probably right there. Think they might expect/hope to win more than the last few. Which leaves them a lot more vulnerable to our new style of play.

I'd take a point now.

But maybe that is old school Blade thinking, out of touch with how things are now. Call it *BTB attitude rather than *ATB attitude.



* BTB - Before the Beard
* ATB - After the Beard

Never understood this, SEB. There were plenty before last night's match saying the same. How do they know how the match will pan out? What if we're winning 2-0 with five minutes left? Would you 'take a point now'?

Same with Rovram last night at Preston. 3-3, but surely after being 2-0 up after 11 minutes, it's a let down?

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

What's the situation with yellow cards?

Did I read that Maguire is close to a ban? Any others?

 

[Kazarre13]

Last night, why didn't play Flynn? I think it's ridiculous.

Got a slight knee injury

I don't get it. What don't you understand about it?

I think the chances of us losing on Saturday are greater than the chances of us winning, so, like SEB, if I was offered a point now, I'd take it. If we were 2-0 up with 5 mins to play, the chances of us winning would be greater than the chances of us losing, so if I was offered a point, I would politely decline....

The two situations are different, so my decision is different.

Don't think we've scored down there for the best part of ten years.

Don't think we've scored down there for the best part of ten years.

Cresswell,
Phillips,
Law,
Lucketti,
Horsfield.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Cresswell,
Phillips,
Law,
Lucketti,
Horsfield.

Cresswell has definitely never scored for us at Stadium mk.

 

[stringjunior]

Back to reality peeps. The last time I could find where we won 6 on the bounce in any competition (2012) the 7th game was against MKD.

21-Apr Milton Keynes Dons 1-0 Sheffield United
14-Apr Sheffield United 3-1 Leyton Orient
10-Apr Rochdale 2-5 Sheffield United
07-Apr Sheffield United 2-1 AFC Bournemouth
31-Mar Hartlepool United 0-1 Sheffield United
28-Mar Sheffield United 4-1 Chesterfield
20-Mar Notts County 2-5 Sheffield United


But crucially this was BTB...

 

[Foxy]

Cresswell has definitely never scored for us at Stadium mk.

Apologies, misread your original message

Knock off Cresswell & Phillips, that was at the Lane.

 

[gavtheblade]

MK dons are plastic.
Cant stand em.
Nothing to fear here,mediocre at best.

We won ffs cant be that ridiculous

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Apologies, misread your original message

So Geoff Horsfield was the the last bloke to score for us at Stadium mk, in August 2007.

I'll leave it for others to decide whether or not that constitutes "the best part of ten years".

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

He had a cold chest and couldn't play.

 

[SandyMcBlade]

This game will be a stern test of how far we've come ..

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

If we win we'll be 12th!

 

[mattbianco1]

Don't think we've scored down there for the best part of ten years.

Considering we've only played there 3 times, it's not as bad as your statement suggests.

If we score saturday, we will have scored in 50% of the games there. My glass is half full mate

Oh, and we scored twice in the National Hockey Stadium in 2003 vs Wimbledon. So technically, we're already on 50%

If we win we'll be 12th!

Not neccessarily - Bradford could lose at home to Stevenage and we'll be 11th, providing theres a 10 goal swing

 

[Wapping Blade]

If we win we'll be 12th!

Unless we get an 11 goal swing between us and Bratfurd...

 

[PaulMK]

Let me know if you want any info on parking drinking etc. we have struggled for goals since Bamford left, I can see 0-0 or 0-1for this one.

 

[Brett]

Damn I'd go to this one but we have Leeds at home at 12:15! Would be a mad rush to get there lol!

 

[diplomat]

Cresswell,
Phillips,
Law,
Lucketti,
Horsfield.

So you've got three t-shirts saying "I saw Law/Lucketti/Horsfield score"

 

[Small Mendonca]

Things come in threes so it'll probably be 1-0 MK. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

My glass is half full mate

Technically it can't be because the top half will be full of air thus full.
