We’re playing on a massive wide pitch with a lovely surface yet we’ve mostly hoofed it down the middle. We’ve got decent players that can play on a pitch like this but we’ve only passed it on the deck once using width , we nearly scored. MK are there for the taking but we’ve got to stop the aimless balls down the middle and start playing football.

Balance of the side looking much better, I think we will be the ones who step it up second half, we’ve got the players to nick a winner 👍🏾

First game of the season for me and sorry but this is awful.
No width in attack, no urgency, no support in attack and too many back passes/passing it across the back.
Although the stadium is nice, I must say - give me the Mem any day of the week over this

Need to up the tempo in this, it has the feel of a Papa Johns game. Too many players not taking risks and passing sideways or backwards. Whats happened to McCormick he looks a shadow of the player we had on loan. MK Dons poor and there for the taking In our relegation McCormick was our only bright spark can remember him carrying the ball and beating the odd player. Something he has not done once since he came back, starting to look like Matt Gill according to a mate of mine, I tend to agree.

The long ball game not working with our big two up top winning little or nothing in the air. Need changes in the second half e.g Jasper to make the best use of the space on this big pitch.

Disagree about the positive comments about Coutts tonight. Not difficult to pass it backwards or sideways against a defensive line up. No urgency,knocking it sideways with no pace & hoping something will happen. Get someone to run at them. Think we are nervous about getting caught on the counter especially if it happens when Gordon is in an advanced position.

It always seems bad news changing a Team that won a few days ago, but it's a long hard trudge of a Season and you've got to rotate to keep the squad match fit. Not sure we did much rotating at the end of last season, when there's a reasonable chance of 3pts we need to try our best to take them this season, not worry about resting players. Anyway Finley will probably be required early in the second half unless Coutts steps up his game. Coutts and Collins our best two players so far!

Thing is in cobern , Collins and loft we have three tall forwards but none of them seem to win much in the air but they are much better on the floor. Get it down and get it moving with more tempo and width second half and we should definitely win this.

Coutts is there to anchor not box to box, McCormick needs to offer himself forward for the pass and use it well when it gets there. Something I don’t think he’s done since he came back.

Two good forward passes by Coutts leads to Loft forcing the goalie to make a good save.

Great commentary.
