He said he was pleased with the way which we applied ourselves, which I'm not sure I agree with... I think he was fuming with the red card.
Apart from that though he's still god
Tbf our discipline with 10 men was good. As is generally the rule under Robins, once we went ahead we didn't look like we'd throw it awayHe said he was pleased with the way which we applied ourselves, which I'm not sure I agree with... I think he was fuming with the red card.

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.
But, MK were weakened and we didn’t look good before the red card. We put ourselves under needless pressure about 6-8 times, that’s just counting a few mis-passes from Hyam, Shipley and Marosi. Better teams would absolutely punish us because I didn’t think MK brought a lot to the party minus running up the possession stat line.
He gets credit for making the right substitutes.
That’s my 2p.
I’m sure MR will be gutted that you don’t agree with him.

We will be a different side with Kelly leading us mate,Hamer will also get better alongside him & we now have sheaf (smiler) itching to get in.We got into a groove of playing out from the back last season, and whilst Giles has the pace to get himself out of trouble, the new players - Pask, Drysdale, Ostigard plus Hamer in the middle are still adapting and look prone to errors - some looking for an extra touch. and I wonder if the hesitancy has given a twitchiness to the keeper(s). It is blindingly obvious that our keeper is looking to play a short (ish) pass, and if he does it quickly to a free man - usually no problem. Alarm bells go off with me when you see Marosi (or Wilson) looking to bowl out the ball, or with it at their feet, and changing their mind several times - the opposition are always going to then have time to close us down, increasing the danger if we do go short. Compare that with us v MK Dons today. When we had 11 men n the pitch we were letting Lewington have the ball from the keeper with no pressure at all on him, I love our brand of football, but we are going to have to be cute in those early games, because (in my opinion) we have a real tricky run after the first 3 matches (and they will be tough). Think Kelly and Sheaf will be a big bonus, as will Dabo and Rose's return.
They wasnt weak though, that was almost their starting 11, russle Martin said it would be kids to throw us off.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.

We had the same issues at the start of last season and seemed to adopt a policy of just going long as soon as the back line were in trouble. Just teething problems until they become more settled as a unit.
This is right. McFadzean particularly got caught out a few times early on last season before finding his feet. So much comes down to confidence. If we are winning, playing this way will come easily to the players following last season's confidence boosting form, but if we start on a losing run with teams actively closing us down to force errors it will be a lot harder for us to continue to play that way. We will need to be able to mix it up more, so that we make the opposition wary of over committing to the high pressing game.
I honestly believe it will be totally different next week.
I get the feeling the players are chomping at the bit to get stuck into the Championship.
Tyler Walker and Hamer will be important driving this next season. Walker has got the pace to stretch defences and Hamer likes a direct pass from deep.
On the whole, I do think we’re going to be a bit more counter-attacking this season.
Hamer booking within 3 minutes.
I wonder if you can bet on it?
Walker and baka both won headers. Let's be honest baka scared the shit outa that defender

If you could the bookies would only take a very small stake and offer miserly oddsHamer booking within 3 minutes.

Hamer created 2 great chances, makes you wonder if they fell to Godden or Walker they would have been goals.
Exactly. Kelly and Hamer will make a very good partnership in midfield.
I’m still confused how McFadz didn’t bury that header!
