Bursik
Halliday
James
Wright
Anderson
Whiteman
Gomes
Richards
Taylor
Tulloch
John-Jules
Bench: Jones, Amos, John, Williams, Coppinger, Okenabirhie, Lokilo
Thought Okenabirhie would start!
-
Been a while since we've had a bench that strong.
Some good game changers on there.
-
Is this our youngest ever starting XI?
-
Didn't see that coming!
Might be Fejiri has a slight knock, we don't know what's in DM's thinking and surprised Copps on bench too.
Keep saying though, if we can play well without Copps then things are looking good!
-
either i am stupid (don't answer that) or that squad looks frightening --- got me dreaming of that season Rovers somehow played the first two matches of the season BOTH at home and won both 4-0 (one against Hartlepool) and the rest was history ......... dreams are still "tax -free" under this government
the word "ringers" in the team comes to mind.
-
Would have liked Copps to be the glue that gives the front players some direction, guile and experience. I'm sure DM knows what he's doing so I hope we attack with purpose and not headless chickens!

Lincoln City on the Saturday then Hartlepool on the Tuesday..
A disappointing 2-1 loss at Southport the following Saturday. Their first victory in 20 matches.
That match saw our first ever substitution as Laurie Sheffield limped off.
-
Kinell, if the new lads are better than Copps and Fej then i cant wait to see them.
-
Taylors decision making sometimes is well off!
Seems strange. I've not heard “Gerrit forrad! " yet!
-
Who is it on commentary ?
-
John Jules has a very good first touch.
-
Who is it on commentary ?
Robbie Andrews and Paul Goodwin from DFP.
-
Good save. Fair play to MK, not afraid to shoot!
-
We look very dangerous. A few games on when these have worked together more and we can terrorise this league.
Bursik's distribution is top class so far. Very impressed with him all round, looks a class above Dieng.
-
Taking too long to get shots off.
At the other end, we're letting them get to edge of our area too easily.
-

Is the distribution comment sarcasm?
-
Alfie May just scored for Cheltenham
-
Richards is amazing.
-
Are you people watching the same game as me?
-
Stats wise we are 30/70 on possession and they have had 7 corners to nil by Rovers - is it that one-sided...?
-
We do look disjointed which is not surprising with the amount of debuts. Alot of naivety out there.
-
Forgot they had Jordan Houghton playing for them...
-
Richards is amazing.
In what way, DO?
-

I'm afraid it is yes.
-

I wouldn't say one sided. We're allowing them the ball and trying to counter but have lacked quality in their third.
-
Richards is amazing.
In what way, DO?
Brilliant on the ball and has an eye for a pass.
-
We look a little like the away team.
-

Thanks, DO!

No. He see's opportunities very quickly and is pretty accurate in getting the ball there including great length when needed.
-
sounds like the Daleks have taken overthe commentary. Back to normal as I type
-
Going from the commentary, just me who thought Taylor wasn't all that on Tuesday? Got the ball lots and ran at players well but there was no end product.
-
We just need to do the basics right simple passes just not working.
Hopefully we can see the first half out and push on in the second half
-
Richards is amazing.

Brilliant on the ball and has an eye for a pass.
Thanks, DO!
Not sure which Richards he is referring to Wilts. So far we haven't got one player who is looking better than average I'm afraid.
-
Should be 1-0 MK at the end of the half.
-
Terrific work by Richards to prevent MK having a tap in.
-
Posh one down to Stanley
-
Second best by a mile first half
-
Lucky to be level at h/t certainly need to improve second half...
-
Mk should be winning we really need to step up in this second half we have been lucky a few times, we really need to test the mk keeper
-
Hasn't been fantastic so far. Hopefully we'll improve after the break. Solid if unspectacular.

Basing it on Blackburn, Bradford and today.

Cheers, EfD! Guess it’s all down to opinion, eh?
-
Definitely need to try something different for me. The game is missing the guile of Copps. MK Don's look too well organised to break down with the team we have out.
-
very lucky to be level..big improvement needed
-
John-Jules overhead kick was a good effort.
With new lads you need a bit of experience up top to help them but Taylor is sometimes as naive as they are.
They're not sure of their jobs yet without the ball and yes, we're missing the Sheaf back up for Whiteman but, we're only 45 mins into the season with bags of talent to be harnessed.
Gomes should be doing more.
-

Aye. Looks like the team was set up to deliver death by pace but can't really seem to get the ball into the dangerous areas so far.
-
Harrogate are 2 up at Southend....

Richards did brilliantly to deny MK what should have been a certain goal just before half time, other than that he hasn't really done anything. Having said that nobody else has either. I would have Copps and Feji on before too long in the second half if things don't improve.

John jules was offside but glad to see him willing to try hopefully we can get the early goal then make them come out more which should give more space at the back
Richards excellent tracking back and did a nice flick behind to unlock a good counter
-
Feel like we should of started wit the team that’s played more preseason bring the new lads in as the game gets on and make them earn their place rather than walking straight in after one day!
-
We need a better ball winner I'd say. Whiteman hasn't had the effect he can on the game so far.
-
Richards is flagging badly here. Game is passing him by.
-
1:0
-
Gomes! Similar position to the Blackburn goal.
-
I agree. What's the point of pre-season games if you give priority in opening league matchnew players who have only met the day previously
-
I don't believe it! nice one madger
-
Ha ha. Gomes heard me! Great finish.
-
Get in some great team work need to keep the lead now
-
Took it well. Well done Madger.
-
Lovely finish.
-
That’s Why Tulloch started
-
Very Copps style of a curling goal
-
It's far from perfect by us but we have more class. MK have possession but for me they are pedestrian.
-
That has to be a penalty. What's the ref doing?
-

Agree. MK remind me of Portsmouth about 3 seasons ago. Big and strong and organised, but if they couldn't roll you over they struggled with the finesse side of the game.
-
Poor crossing from Rovers.
Taylor ffs!
-
Harrogate 4 up
-
Poor crossing from Rovers.
Taylor ffs!
Conceded?
-
Taylor is so frustrating at times.
-
Whiteman has been excellent. Broke so much up today.
-

Sssshhh!!

Oh, yeah. That Whiteman. Proper rubbish. Never gets his foot in.
;)
Sssshhh!!

Nope. Still 1-0 with 10 left.

I'm programmed to feel despair when I read "ffs"

Posh now 2 down.

ffs now!
-
Nice play from MK.
-
FFS, sorry DRnaith
-
That was shit
-
Dreadful defending.
-
Good goal by MK. Three 1-2’s. They’re a decent side.
-
Feel like we should of started wit the team that’s played more preseason bring the new lads in as the game gets on and make them earn their place rather than walking straight in after one day!
Imagine being a player of the club not in on loan who's put in the hard graft over the pre-season to then be left out for youngster brought in on loan with virtually no league experience and barely a training session with the squad under his belt. Not great man management that is it? Moore might and I'll repeat that, might be a good coach but without better man management I can't see how he'll go on to be a successful football manager.
-
This keeper needs to improve
-
Taylor is so frustrating at times.
At times?
-
Tbh we cant complain...weve been very dissapointing
-
Gomes my man of the match
-

Getting something from a game that you play poorly in, is what champions do ;)

The two new boys were class, and the others should simply be spurred on if they have anything about them. I can't see a problem.
-
A draw isn’t a bad result in the first game. Just don’t lose. We’ll improve
-
1:1 FT
-
Fair result, we showed flashes but quite an even game. Work to do but also some really positive bits at times.
-
Well we don't need to worry about Whiteman going anywhere after that.
-

If I was a MK fan I certainly wouldn't think it was a fair result.
-
Agreed I thought they were much the better team but there were enough from us to give hope
-
Fair result in the end.
We were much better in the second half but that was a good goal by MK to level it up.
It makes me laugh when people say it was poor defending by us.
If we had scored that one the same people would be saying how well our player had done.
Three one two and a good finish.
Gomes was good again and Reece James had a solid game.
-

Why? They had lots of the ball but rarely challenged the keeper.

Why? Because they were the better team. Simple.
-
It is a bit early for some of the negativity.
One game gone, thats all.
Plenty of time to get things together.
-
At least you don't hear the minority booing and abusing the players when you concede a late goal with no crowd there.
-
idler, that would have been the moment for a mass exodus, if the crowd had been in of course.
Given that we might be given exit the stadium times when we are allowed back in, i wonder how the stewards will police the mass exit.
-
Just catching up with this - sounds like we weren’t at our best but it is very early and tv e new players need to bed in.
f**k me, what’s it going to be like on here with EFD etc when we actually lose a game.?

Sorry for having an opinion. Would you prefer I sang the teams praises and said we were brilliant and deserved all 3 points? When clearly that was not the case.
-
Thanks for bashing out all the comments couldn't stay up to watch the game but always good to read reactions of those watching live.

Hound the poor defending was nobody going with the runner.
-
Mate,you don’t have to tell me that.
All I was saying is that had we scored that one then everyone would be saying what a great goal it was.
