    I agree - but I'd sooner see us boot it out than pass back to the keeper when he is under pressure.

    Another thought about passing around at the back from a goal kick. I like the idea in principle but I think we can improve upon it with some extra rules. When teams press us and we get into trouble we just need to boot the ball out. Defenders would do that all the time when they are attacking...

    I never understood that. If you didn't have a Dion who won the ball in the air most of the time you are just handing the ball to the opposition to attack you. Our kick offs also frustrated me. For years it seemed that we just kicked a diagonal ball for a winger to chase, which conceded...

    It's being reported that Villa have withdrawn and Wilson prefers Newcastle.

    Video Milton Keynes Dons v Coventry City highlights

    I cannot see any point that Drysdale makes any contact with the player. It's possible his arm touches his back but it cannot be seen clearly - however that's after the player starts falling. I hope there are some more angles and we can prove he was unfairly penalised.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Is there anything better on a sunny Saturday morning than a coffee, a book and music? In preparation for the game this afternoon I'll be sitting down to Taylor's java; 'In the Country of Last Things' (Paul Auster) and Anouar Brahem.

    This photo of Brennan after one of his diving header corners went wrong. Let's just hope that he's in the same form today.

    You'll eat your words if Finlay Brennan manages to get a good connection on one of his diving header set pieces. He can bend them like Beckham.

    The Dons are a very strong side and I expect them to be pumped up for this one as revenge for the 2-3 friendly drubbing in August - that must have stung for a proud side like Milton Keynes. If we can withhold the early pressure and keep Rhys Healey quiet by doubling up on him I can see us...

    Televising Games in the championship

    I'm hanging on to see what happens before committing to Sky. Sky are advertising that they are televising the QPR game - so I suspect that it isn't true that they are showing all - otherwise why mention QPR specifically?

    Max does it again!

    Max: both cool and pacey. "An over-the-top through ball was latched onto by the pacey Biamou, who coolly slot the ball into the bottom left-hand corner to give City their first lead of the afternoon. " But Kelly looks tired. It's no wonder they scored.

    Ah well, we have to empty the duck pond and so I'm constantly reminded by the annoyed quacks. The used duck water goes on the spuds. :)

    I've had good potatoes this year too - I grow them in bags and leave them in there until I need them.
