Must win. Keep the pressure on the top spaces.

Even a couple of draws and we've got half the league up our arse.

With Oxford playing Rotherham we could start to pull away slightly from the chasing pack depending on that result (only by a couple of points)

Need a win here. In some ways it’s good we drew yesterday as I think the longer your streak gets the harder it is to continue.

Few players looked leggy last game. I’d start with the team that finished the game so:
Marosi
Rose McFadz Hyam
Dabo Kelly Walsh Mason (I’m assuming McCallum is injured)
Allen O’Hare
Godden

S: Wilson, Pask, Westbrooke, Shipley, Hiwula, Baka, Jones(?)

Edgy 1-0 with much bum squeakiness.

Looking at our forth coming fixtures we could be playing current leaders Wycombe in three weeks to go top and with a game in hand, Donny away is always a toughie though.

Any news on McCallum yet? I thought Mason looked pretty out of it when he came on.

After a successful couple of weeks on the road we really need to back up the good work with a win. Don’t see the point in changing the team unless we have to.

Mason won’t be match sharp mate add to that coming on as a sub getting into the pace of the game not surprised he struggled,I think he will play for the under 23’s today

Mason was off the boil because the u23s have been off over christmas. He'll come strong again.

Hard to come on as a sub when not played much i imagine. Sure he will do better if starts

Same team other than that

2 nil win and we can dream a little more

Mason was arguably our best player in the first few weeks of the season McCallum got his chance and has grabbed it with both hands and imo the better player but should he get injured or move on having Mason come in wouldn’t bother me at all.

start O'Hare. I know people say he's an impact sub but we've looked much better with him in the team in the last few games. Give the lad another chance to do it for 90 minutes.

Unchanged. We are at our best with Shipley and Westbrooke in the side and the stats prove it. Keep using O’Hare as super sub which clearly suits him

1-0 to the city can see then sitting back and playing for a point so up to us to break them down, hopefully see a few more bums up there after the last few weeks 700 dons? 6500+ city

Please, let's not start referring to MK fans as 'the dons'. It's not their rightful name.

I remember when they did a campaign to take 1,500 to the Ricoh when they were flying and only took about 1,000 in the end

MK in the 0-0 draw were the worst team I think we have played this season.They looked devoid of confidence and seemed set up not to lose, even though they were at home. Only after we missed the pen did they start to have a go. They have changed manager and have improved since then, indeed looking better in the Trophy game (which we still should have won). Can’t believe they will be as bad as in the first game but we should be far too good for them. (Well aware that doesn’t always mean that you win).

Expect an unchanged team unless McCallum injured. Maybe Max back on the bench.

Looking at Newton for the U23s today I expect to see him on the bench if McCullum is out for a while

Yeah, looks good. What really stands out in the u23s is how far off the first team it is intensity wise, and the players with first team fitness really stand out.

Production line keeps on rolling. Really impressed with the squad building strategy recently.

They had a lot of injuries at the time, particularly up front. They have started to get players back and results have improved recently, it will be a tricky game.

Newton is. Tough tackler (tackles like Stuart Pearce did-no pressure lad!)

I see a win for us, but really need to start to bang the goals in. Need to win by at least 2 or 3 clear goals. Goal difference might just play an important part in the end of seasons positions. Might mean the difference between autos and play-offs.

I’d like a big win but 1-0 will do me.
