Match Day Thread Milton Keynes Vs Charlton

Liam Millar was brilliant today.

We were organised and defended well.

Albie was great in the second half closing down.

MK dominated the second half but I don’t think they were on the same level as they were at the Valley.

Keeping a clean sheet will work wonders for our confidence.

Like FHB I was squirming every time they had a set piece.

Brilliant team performance, everyone clearly knew their job and did it well.

We didn’t attack with the same intensity as recently, but it was a polished away performance.

COYR

 

Good to win with a clean sheet unfortunately my pants weren’t so lucky

 

I’d imagine Purrington will be buying Millar a beer tonight, fantastic tracking back

 

Millar and stockley look excellent signings , very good to have Shinnie back as well

 

I had some supper and nodded off a couple of hours ago.

No reflection on the team. Happens most evenings with me.
Well done the lads

 

Agree with all of that. In the end, the win and the clean sheet were the stand-outs. I was getting frustrated with the passing, and really would have loved to see us get a second goal to calm the nerves, but today was good, and if we can carry on the positives, we can give Portsmouth a real game on Saturday.

 

Amazing that some of the Bowyer out idiots are still not happy ...a win is not good enogh have to win playing free flowing football apparently.
Where do we get these idiots from .

 

I don’t do Facebook or Twitter but a good place to start looking is ittv , it was ugly yes but 3 points and a clean sheet were the most important things

 

If the fans had been there last night they would have cheered the team to the rafters after it ended. Can you imagine anyone booing the team off the pitch? That's the equivalent of what these keyboard warriors have been doing.

 

Excellent point that

 

And you keep encouraging me to mix with the apologists again

 

Likewise there would not have been any "Bowyer out" chants.

 

Looking at the table, we're probably potentially 8th when you consider games in hand. If we'd lost last night you're looking at mid-table. Remember the Wet Spam fans who used to sing We're Wet Spam We Play on the Ground? We seem to have a few of those.

 

I don't understand the negativity when we win a game. I would like us to play brilliant football and hammer teams 5-0. But I am happy when we manage to tough out a game and pick up a 1-0. It is all about winning. There aren't points awarded for artistic impression. At the end of the season it is about how many points you have accumulated not how well you have played.

 

I thought last night was always going to be about a stepping stone on the way back from a bad couple of months. Grabted MK Dons are not the best in the league, unless their position in the table is an anomaly, we still had to win. I found the second half hard work to be honest, and it did feel an awfull lot like some previous performances where we opted to skulk round our own area for the last twenty minutes, with the enevitable equaliser driving us mad. But we looked quite safe at the back, and that game goes down as a gritty hard fought 1-0 win. Something to be happy about. It sees us going in the right direction, and gives us something to build on on saturday. The details are worthy of discussion, but overall, that was a win - as was written above, if we'd been in the ground, that was a match we would have been cheering at full time.

 

my Gooner housemate was telling me we looked organised at the back

I got a bit snappy

 

Likewise if we drop points if we have played well, I'll not criticise.
Ffs, 2-0 against Rochdale and people are screaming for the axe. We turn it around and the muppets shut up.
