[Archived] GAME THREAD - MK Dons V's Portugal U21's

[yankrover]

Losing this game makes Kean look bad. That's a positive. We're not winning any cups this year in any event. Look on the bright side!

A talented, unmotivated team. Identical to last season. Forfeiting again Steve? I seriously it, you just become even more exposed in games where the occasion alone cannot motivate the players. Hope the ''owners'' are proud of their man. Who's he looking up at smirking to after this game? Can't believe he had the face to do that last week. Pathetic man. Any true manager would have been p***ed off with that win. No doubt he will blame the ''youth'' that cost us the Premier League for tonight's loss.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

We wurs so good against Leicester that we beat the better team, and they are losing 4-1 to Burton Albion at home so we must be nearly as good as Burton, and that makes me feel really good Mrs D, because I have a vision, and that vision is to line my own pocket, at your expense :-)

Full time now. Bad result. Goody should have started for sure.

Another kean error

[philipl]

Any dodgy betting patterns tonight?

[Alan75]

no comment - or I'll get banned for bad language

[den]

Apparently Kean= 70 games 36 defeats.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Listened on Radio Lancs - lots of question marks raised by commentators about tactics - which for me sums it up.

Bottom line we had enough quality out there to win this match against an under strength MK.

Such a shame that 7 points will mask what is now 4 very poor performances against teams that on paper are inferior. All comes down to coaching and tactics - Kean.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Listen you lot........'JUST TAKE THE POSITIVES'....OK!!

Pretty obvious that we didn't.

[Kelbo]

7 of that side started against Leicester!!

There are only two potential positives :-

1. Will make Mrs Desai realise what a mistake Kean is (sorry dreaming there).

2. Realistically we don't need the additional games that an extended run in the cup would bring - though a decent performance would have been a nice change.

[grizfoot]

I can't say I'm that bothered about getting knocked out of the cup. Realistically very slim chance of winning it anyway and would rather have less game in what is already a busy schedule.

I know it's only the Carling Cup but our team looks completely different from the sort of team we would have been able to field three or four seasons ago. The one thing that baffles me is that probably the one genuine quality player in the squad in Martin Olsson was left on the bench, if he's not going to get played what's the point of him being named as a sub? Then again this isn't anything new for Coco I guess. Nzonzi being named as sub towards end of last season another example of this.

[Ozz]

Sorry Griz disagree. I want us to smash every team we play in every game we play. League, cup, pre season. I'm gutted and embarrassed. History will show this as an ignominious defeat to a minnow of a club.

[david_daft]

Thanks for making this fiasco more bearable....

[Herbie6590]

Portugal U21s not all that on the basis of the evidence tonight - in fact the Rest of the World making up the squad looked woeful as well. That was every bit as poor as Paul Ince, Brian Kidd & Jim Iley in their prime.

Hopeless tactics, abysmal passing, woeful shooting, poor marking & (sadly) some goalkeeping errors (though I'll cut J Kean some slack given the tripe in front of him).

Apart from that - top evening all round.

Thanks Steve.....

[sam_rovers]

Can't wait to read the post match comments about dew on the ground or some other inane useless irrelevant crap- with it ending with now we can focus on promotion and our goal is promotion

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Why is this result so predictable.

[den]

More so the performance Tyrone.

[Jock]

Why is this result so predictable.

A. Because Kean is a c_ _t

[Majiball]

_{I guess Karl Robinson wins.}

It took Dons just 47 seconds to do what they failed to do for almost the entire game against Swindon: test the GK

[Alan75]

Delays on the Motorway - Coach driver took us to Wimbledon - Concrete cows - Loose Lion - Players tired after long drive - No Match Preview on BRFCS so we didnt realise game was tonight until we read Telegraph.

Why not try - incompetant - not up to the task.

[Mr Maureen]

Great result,another 20 of those please.
