Then one piece of good fortune, the young kid Lund tries to clear it and it goes in without their player even knowing how it happened.
It was a very even game, before this MK were starting to run out of ideas, without this bad fortune i do think we could have at the least held on for a draw or even nicked it late on.
McCullough in front of Butler gave us a solidity we haven't had for a long time, first half especially even before his booking they were targeting Cedric on the left, but the gap was closed in the second half.
The substitution Paul made was attacking, adventurous and logical as we needed to score, but it was also totally predictable, it's the same substitution week in week out when we are behind.
When he made the changes, especially bringing McCullough off we lost any control of midfield, i feel he made a mistake, we were one down due to bad fortune, in my opinion it needed 'Like for Like' changes.
Without McCullough all of a sudden we were wide open, being wise after the game i would have started Main up front, sacrificed Forrester and had Tyson wide left.
I think tonight proved McCullough can play the holding midfield role, for me this role is better than centre back for him, really disappointed the manager didn't have some fresh ideas for substitutions, once a goal down the substitutions killed any chance we had of a result.
Well done to MK Dons a creative young forward looking team with a very good midfield, the young fresh options they had on the bench also helped to swing the game in their favour, beaten by a very good team. :sick:

Well summarised.

Cheers nice one, i think Lund looks a decent prospect that's one plus out of us not being promoted, we have seen him for a few games.

Dickov only has one tactic when we go behind and that is to sacrifice midfielders for strikers - it has not worked all season so why would it start working now? We lose all shape and the front men just run around like headless chickens because they are not getting the service they need.

Absolutely SPOT ON.
It really shows how naive he is as a manager, yet he continues to do it. By all means replace a defensive midfielder for a more attacking one when you're chasing the game, but its proper "sunday league" mentality to replace a midfielder with a striker.
Surely his assistant/backroom staff must tell him this or his he really that stubborn?
-
I agree with Jenny on that one.
And Sammy, would you really have played Main last night after the way he performed on Saturday? That was probably the worst individual 45 minutes from a footballer I've seen all season. No, EVER!
-
I'm with you on this one Jenny also.
I also wonder if Dickov ever reads the VSC?
-
Personally I think Main is a awful player and weve been well lumbered with him...I've yet to work out his strengths apart from the odd long distance strike..He doesn't read the game at all...But I would agree about his one plan and how it's not worked ever...I wonder sometimes just what they teach then on these coaching courses..

I must have dreamt Preston away and Oldham away then

Last night mk dons had a lot of possession but never really troubled bywater until a very fortunate goal which there striker did not have clue were it went dickov got the tactics right to start with but once he took the holding midfield off he left us wide open and any idiot could see that with the way the first half went , I still don't get why people still want to give him a chance he need to go now so we can plan for next season with a new manager a hope of getting out of this division

Yes we'' lost'' 3-0 are you doubting your recollection 69?, what i was pointing out, were the turning points in the game and one dimensional tactics.
