From MRs quote it said he was signed to ‘push for the 1st team and add depth’ from the get go. He made 14 league appearances all season, so naturally spent a lot of time with the U23s. He was signed as a development player.

They had 5 players out on international duty, with 1 senior play on the bench for them. That had an impact.

We had injuries and for a lot of the season McDonald and Davies were ahead of Hyam in the pecking order. League appearances in 2017/18 for CB: Willis - 35 McDonald - 34 Davies - 21 Hyam - 14 Hyam was very much a junior member of CB department coming into that season. He earned his place...

He’s just dropped me message telling me I’ve hurt his feelings. I apologised...

The MK manager bemoaned that they lost despite ‘controlling the game’. But, even going into the break, we both had 5 shots. By full time, we had more 3 more shots than them. Our counter attacking was decent and thought we looked the more likely to score despite the red card.

Surely you’ve got the sense of humour to laugh when people have made comments, in the heat of the moment, that turn out to be utterly wrong?

Usually, Robins hits the nail on the head with his post-match comments. Today was the first time in a while I didn’t really agree. In a sense, you’ve got to happy that we stayed in a game where we had 10 men for about an hour before grabbing the winner and nearly nicking a second goal too...

I don’t disagree with that point. Pask did not look convincing at RWB or RB today, despite showing some good last ditch defending. The sooner Dabo comes back, the better. My concerns is that with a flat 4 in defence, McFadz is more vulnerable because he’s slower. Judging by today, he’s my...

What changes do you think he’ll make? Personally, I think the 5 defenders is here to stay - a lot of teams in English football are adopting it. Where I agree with you is that I think we’ll need to become more direct as a whole. For this reason, I can see us adopting 2 strikers in the current...

I don’t think Oggy dislikes Marosi at all. He suggested he was MOTM (I agree), but on another day his lapses of concentration today could’ve cost us. Their first opportunity should been a goal, or at least have at least tested Marosi!

Also had MKD as playing 4-4-2 - definitely used the random number generator to do his match ratings.

Credit where it’s due, MK were good on the ball and they were sharper than us on the ball. Since we had an early red card, we don’t know how we would’ve responded as the game develops 11v11. IMO, MR put another striker on because he saw a weakness to be exploited - high D line and an ageing...

A lot of surprises this round of the cup! I was worried our performance was showing we were a bit rusty for competitive football.

Yep - I’m guessing you meant ‘would do’ at the end? Correct me if I’m wrong! I’m hoping that because we have a set piece ‘specialist’, we can create more chances and goals from set pieces. If this doesn’t improve this year, then a focus for our recruitment has to be defenders who can score from...

Hamer set up two of our best chances from FKs... McFadz needed to do a lot better!

Good finish. Their manager will be fuming with that defending though - poor.

Marosi deserves MOTM today, despite some v uncharacteristically poor distribution in the first 30 minutes. Hyam had some dodgy moments too. McFadz was a rock and Giles grew into the game well too. Before he was taken off, Hamer was my MOTM - we actually look dangerous from set pieces now. Kelly...

I didn’t really rate MK Dons, to be frank. A weakened side for them, but they looked pretty flaccid in attack. Especially in the second half. The changing factor for us was Kelly. He got some key interceptions and we managed the game better. Has to start the season for me. Shout out to Robins...

How was that not a red card? No foul, he’s through on goal. Sure, we’re 1-0 up in stoppage time but that’s a bad decision.

Baka looks a different breed whenever I’ve seen him this season. Should’ve done better with the chance.
