Pleased Ironside back in. Could have been more changes but this XI get a chance to  improve on Harrogate.

I hope we're a bit more controlled ,  patient and hit them hard on the break.

Ellis Harrison should be a good test to see where McGrath is at. Very good centre forward for this level and experienced.

The balance of the midfield three is wrong again Grant. Not sure about Fleming and not enough pace at the back with Anderson playing. Let’s see but that side for me is not right.

I think "studs up' creates the wrong impression of what happened there was no intention of a leg breaker type challenge.

Who said leg breaker? On a yellow card why even give the ref an incline of a dilemma whether its a 2nd yellow or not. That's what Clifton did.

If GM thinks we have only been at 30% of our potential so far this season, I think he needs to revise that to 25% judging by this first half.

Title: Re: MKD V TLOD
Post by: jmt23 on September 21, 2024, 03:51:35 pm
Big miss by Molly, looked like he should have done better with a header.
I don’t mind Gibson taking shots, he is trying to get us back in the game, his radar looks a bit off though.

Not sure about the second yellow, will have to look with calm eyes later, I’m not sure it was there for the MK player to win, and it looked manufactured on first glimpse.

Joe and keeper collided, though looking closely there’s a slight possibility the keeper was actually letting the ball slip from his grasp as the collision occurred.

Great chance for Molly, free header in front of goal. Encouraging that we can create.
Gibson has been doing a very good Jordi Hiwula impression with some very odd decisions in 2 very good situations.
Title: Re: MKD V TLOD
Post by: normal rules on September 21, 2024, 03:54:47 pm
Moly doesn’t look at it today. Bad decision making . Persistently losing ball. Bailey missed a very obvs pass with last attack of first half which could have made the score line diff.big second half . Need some inspiration .
Title: Re: MKD V TLOD
Post by: Prez on September 21, 2024, 03:55:44 pm
Gibson should have been taken off and Kelly on for me as soon as Clifton went off, and he was stupid to go in like that when on a booking. McCann deep down will be fuming.

10 men against a possession side away from home all we’re gonna get are hopeful punts upfield. Is what it is.
Title: Re: MKD V TLOD
Post by: EasyforDennis on September 21, 2024, 03:57:45 pm
Molly and Gibson might as well be sat in the stand. Molly has had about 4 or 5 attempts to beat a player and failed miserably every time. Gibson always taking wrong option. Ref is shite. MK keeper comes out for a ball and bumps into his own player with the ball running free to Ironside who puts it in the net. Ref gives a free kick to the keeper.
Title: Re: MKD V TLOD

If we can keep it at 1-0 with 10 to go we can get something, but we need to slow it down and make it scrappy.

To be fair to Molly his best work has been defending particularly the 15 mins after the sending off.

Kind of ironic isn’t it? When he was something of a liability, he kept his place, now he earns a lot of praise McCann doesn’t pick him. Dare I criticise McCann’ s judgment?
