I hope we win but think Tuesday took a lot out of us so I think a draw 1-1 is the most likely result.

We look like we’re down to bare bones in defence, I think we might lose this one unfortunately.

With our current resources, this is a tough game.

We started the season convinced about the defence, anxious about the midfield and downright fearful about the attack. Now, it’s the defence that is the concern!

I’d be happy enough with a draw to keep momentum and with a few of the injured to return soon.

Don’t forget people this game is on sky tv so you can save some money and stay at home in the warm x

Stadium MK is always a tough place to go a theory very much proved by our Good Friday hiding there last season. However we go into this game as a different beast and with confidence sky high and prime Sadball in full flow there is no reason why we can’t go there and get a result if we are at our very best. That said I would be more than satisfied with a point away from home at an opponent who will almost certainly be in the top 7 shake up come what May.

Gutted I can’t make this due to a prior engagement in Ireland but I will be wishing Mat and the boys the very best, for the six hundred or so making the trip give them a shout for me.

They really aren’t fans of the English Gentry over there, so I’d keep your family colours or crest covered up, and definitely no Order of the Garter insignia.

It feels good going into a game against title contnders knowing we have a team who will give everything to get a result and there’s a good chance we will bring home some points, its been a while since we have been in this postion and long may it continue. I think with our form and the red army giving the lads our full backing i can see us sneaking a 2-1 victory

UTS.

Thought to myself after the Tranmere loss that we had a really tough next few games where i couldn’t see us picking up much and the good start we had would have disappeared.

But after a fantastic win against Huddersfield, a solid win against Cheltenham and a very impressive performance away at Birmingham and after watching MK on tele on Monday where they didn’t look great at all, i can’t see anything other than another win for Mat Sadler’s tricky XG topping Poundland reds.

Hoping for a draw, dreaming of win, expecting the worst.
New month starting with a loss and then no win till boxing day. I’m usually wrong… I hope my wrongness continues

Going to be a tough game with the injuries in defence so I’d take a point here. Looks like we’ll be staring with Dave, Williams and Allen as the back 3.

The Concrete Roundabout has us down for a thumping by the numpties in the made up town of MK…let’s see shall we…

Be fantastic to put one of these especially after last season to, I would take a point though

Dont forget people if you can afford to and have no plans you can go to the match and back the lads in person and give them the support they deserve.

Unfortunately can’t make this one. One of the downsides of us doing well in the cups, the extra games have drained the funds a bit so have to skip an away game somewhere. Both the boys went to MK last season, so we chose this one to miss instead rather than Salford or Chesterfield. Been worth it though for the memories made already.

Fancy us to come away with a point, which will be a decent result.

I think this will be a high scoring draw.

2-2 or 3-3

If it’s on Sky+/the Sky Sports app, will it be shown in the Locker? I see they are now opening on Sundays for the market as well as Friday evenings.

Should be, yes.

Im actually thinking we could win this one. Its been a while since i had such hope going into an away fixture.

However, I am not usually a good omen when going to away grounds so apologies in advance :blush:
