Same line-up as the one that started against Bradford, which was crap up to the substitutions; let's hope they perform better today.

Including mk, SIX of the 8 sides behind us are winning now. Only Bury, who are dead already, and Wimbledon, are losing. Not great.

We need a real kick up the arse at the break here.

Iplayer commentators were saying there were encouraging signs if we get at them, I appreciate they are at the game and can see things that we can't, but that first half sounded as sleep inducing as they come

In our 18 seasons in this league we have never had a striker score more than 13 league goals is a season. Only Glyn Snodin (18) and Neil Redfearn (14), free kick specialists and midfielders both, have scored more.

John Regan, Colin Douglas (when he was a striker) and Billy Paynter have scored 13.
