We've played well the 2nd half, much better. Hopefully no silly last minute goals.
Was going to rant and rave about marquis on own upfront,soon as we went more attacking there was a big difference, hopefully he will learn by this
We could have been 4-0 down by half time we were that bad. Much improved 2nd half due to mlving the ball quicker & actually competing!!
That was our season summed up in one very bizarre game but we had luck on our side for a change in actually getting all three points rather than chucking away any points by silliness in the latter stages.The table proves just how valuable it was to win today - anything less and we'd have been very close to drop zone which would have meant the doom-dreaming scaremongers would have been out with their knives sharpened wanting to have a pop at all and sundry.At least now the pressure is off for a couple of weeks and we've avoided that carry on of constant negativity (for a short time anyway).The FA Cup game is a nice sideshow distraction to the league but we're clearly not going to be favourites against Scunny. If we beat them it'll be a nice bonus but a defeat it won't effect anything in the league table.
It's been a long time since I've seen Rovers so outplayed at home by any team

That could have been so different after the 1st half performance, even though I thought we started with energy & commitment, but after their goal the little confidence we had turned into hesitation & fear & MK Dons smelled blood, to be fair though we hung on with luck & desperate defending. Second half however was like watching a completely different team, the substitutes were excellent, but the side as a whole seemed to click, putting them on the back foot with bags of effort, passing & movement that's been missing since the start of the season, long may it continue. Well done to the management & players, great result & hopefully we can push on now, special mention for Alfie Beeston, looks a great prospect.
First half clearly a disgrace. Second half equally clearly much, much better. Good result in end. Are we actually getting any better? Difficult to tell.
