I've not got a clue what Burge will have to do to win some people over. The poor bloke played really well, kept a clean sheet and still gets stick.
Really Barrett 7 same as Burge?
What a wet lettuce! It was always going to happen, no way will away fans be banned because a few ran on when we scored. Nothing happened when some went on the pitch against Sheffield united and Northampton. At least it was for the right reasons this time!Agree with that especially re idiot fans. They could get the club punished and the fans...imagine if we are drawn at Man Utd but away fans banned.
As for the players I thought we played too narrow at times exposing grimmer and stokes. Also stokes gave a lot of simple balls away. Apart from all that you cannot question the commitment of the players...all threw their bodies on the line when needed and up front mcnulty’s runs and biamou holding it up when he could.
Excellent all round

Made 2 great saves to keep us in it.I've not got a clue what Burge will have to do to win some people over. The poor bloke played really well, kept a clean sheet and still gets stick.
I know we hear that same shit every time this happens.What a wet lettuce! It was always going to happen, no way will away fans be banned because a few ran on when we scored.

Agreed, we are never going to get punished for what happened today.What a wet lettuce! It was always going to happen, no way will away fans be banned because a few ran on when we scored.

Downside, it is just under three weeks since my wife died, just after our golden wedding. Upside, it was my first game for 50 years. I watched from the home side's family area and pretended to be Mourinho (but was grinning by the end!)
Ratings:
Burge 8 Even his kicking was good
Grimmer 7.5 Opened things up when he attacked but defensively OK too
Willis 8.5 MOTM Saved our bacon on three occasions by getting back quickly when it was two on one
McDonald 7.5 Grew into the game - or was it just that I could see what he was doing in the second half!
Stokes 7.5 Some great tackles and got things moving well, but spoiled a little by some misdirected clearances
Bayliss

The lowest score anyone has given him in the ratings here is 7.I've not got a clue what Burge will have to do to win some people over. The poor bloke played really well, kept a clean sheet and still gets stick.
yep that was great and his influence has been really impressive this season. That DKE challenge was right up there with the sort of tackle we used to see from Doyle. I have to say when he was here last time I really didn't take to him much, found him very negative and his passing was always back or sideways. This time round his passing isn't often that great but you are right, his influence on those around him is terrific. Right through the game he is making sure the younger players are doing as they should. He has been a real leader and that gesture summed him and his attitude up ..terrific!Did anyone notice Doyle run 30 yards to say well done to Dke when he put a decent challenge in near the end? He really does stand up as the captain
There were a few in the concourse after HT.No Police inside the ground at all. There was a sizable presence outside, but nothing in the ground. Found that very odd, when we have a "retard element".
Yeah seen him limp onto the coach. Apparently has been playing through that injury for quite a while. Be interesting if he is in the team on Tuesday.Burge 8.5 I've been critical in the past of his decision making but he called everyone right, the first half save at the foot of the striker was very well timed, claimed and punched at the right times too.
Grimmer 8 gives everything, likeable guy who attacked well when he could.
Willis 8.5 reliable and solid. Made the right decisions
McDonald 8.5 solidly slotted back in, seems effortless at times. Classy.
Stokes 7 had a good game despite being left heavily exposed by Barrett. Chief Steward too.
Bayliss 7.5 slow into the game but like the side grew into the game. Classy
Kelly 7 could tell it's his first game for weeks, passing was off but work rate was key.
Doyle 7 early yellow could of been costly, passing hit and miss but a captains performance in general. Took a heaven hit towards the end.
Barrett 5.5 was expecting more, occasion or first start got the better of him.
Biamou 9 MOTM. another hard working performance, always liked him now love him!! Deserved the goal, and a handshake and vote of support from me as he boarded the bus after the game.
McNulty 8.5 covered some miles as he defended from the front, great performance.
Subs
Shipley 7 slotted straight into the action. Think he's rest on the bench was needed.
Stevenson 6.5 fairly solid, should of buried his chance at the end in what could potentially be his last CCFC game.
Kelly-Evans 6 reliable and committed as ever.
Robins 9 difficult to plan for this given the new manager and potential change in style and approach play. Got all his homework right and substitutions too.
Was very pleased after the game, big smile and talked to us.
Side note is Micky Doyle limped onto the team bus after, hopefully just a bruise.
Where were you must have been 50 in the concourse.
Stood along the whole length of the end nearly.
Couple of things about Biamou he has learned on the hoof so to speak and whilst the goals haven't been coming he has generally given an honest performance and not tried to hide even though it must have been difficult at times, hopefully he has turned the corner now and he owes Mark Robins an awful lot in the faith and loyalty shown to him, I have no idea why I like Biamou more than McNulty and (quite rightly) I have slated him at times this season, I always said I would be prepared to eat humble pie, I still don't think McNulty is a main striker but he aint looking too shabby at being the 2nd striker
All of them 10/10 couldn’t fault any of them, Biamou was brilliant in every aspect of them game. Onto Tuesday we go...
We look SO dangerous every time we came forward Yesteday, we had pace and we moved the ball round quickly and really tested them MK defenders. First 20 wasn’t brilliant but once we got going I knew we would see the game throughcredit to Robins. He's persevered with him and hasn't given into pressure to play Ponticelli who he clearly rates but thinks isn't quite ready yet, (I agree with him).
Wasn't able to see the game yesterday, where did the pace come from? It's something I've thought we've lacked all season, especially without Jodi Jones.We look SO dangerous every time we came forward Yesteday, we had pace and we moved the ball round quickly and really tested them MK defenders.
