Will this be avaiable on iFollow, or is jut just league games?

[Gibbo]

I reckon the team will be
3-4-3

Marosi
Burroughs
Pask
Hyam
Drysdale
Mason
Eccles
Hamer
Jodi
Baka
Bapaga

Bench
(Wilson, Giles, McFadzean, Shipley, Allen, Walker, Godden)

Id say a 2-0 win
Goals from Jodi and Godden

Just want to point out, did any one notice the raw pace of Eccles in stopping a Southampton attack at one point in the second half the other day. A serious burst of speed to cover the Sothampton break and he didn't give away a penalty at the end. That and the inch perfect pass to Baka against Posh show he may be getting near to what we need as a CDM. If MK are not going to be full strength (a peculiar decision imho) then Eccles and Hamer in central midfield as above. We may not have to buy in CDM cover after all.

oh dear (but another opportunity to reuse the puns)

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

For me, my team would be slightly experimental and I’d go with something like:

Wilson
Burroughs/Rowe
Pask
McFadz
Hyam
Mason
Kelly
Hamer
O’Hare
Jones/Shipley
Baka/Gooden

I don’t think we should take the piss out of MK Dons. But equally, I would like us to select a couple of players who could do with an opportunity before the league campaign kicks off.

I reckon posibly baka to
Give him some confidence

Is Ostigard not available/fit for this cup game?

Away on International duty

In an ideal world, Baka starts and has a really good game, bagging a goal or two. Then, Walker gets brought on for some game time and bangs a goal himself.

Staying in an ideal world, Jones has a stormer and scores a hat trick...

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If we sign him in time and Kelly isn't 100% (not saying he is/isn't) then give Sheaf some minutes, or Eccles?

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Our old friend T. Kettle is the ref for Saturday

Not seen him for a while, I guess it boils down to his availability with reffing other games.

 

[covcity4life]

Give the starting 11 for next week a run out

Lets win this cup and go into Europe. A lot of prem and championship teams may play weaker teams than normal. We have a chance!!!

 

[standupforcity]

Biamou to state his case!

 

[ccfcway]

not a clue why we wouldn’t play our strongest team. They have a week to recover and a win would build confidence

 

[PVA]

Yeah, this.

I think it will be the strongest team available.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

MK Dons have 5 defenders missing through injury and internationals.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

If Hamer hasn't gone through the back of someone within the first two minutes I reckon Nick will have an aneurysm.

 

[fatso]

City win 2.0, Hamer gets sent off, an Sheaf does his ACL.

 

[wingy]

4-2 to us!

 

[ccfcricoh]

Hopefully the team MR feels is the strongest!

Win 3-1, onwards and upwards

 

[shmmeee]

1 more sleep until real competitive football!!!

Who else is excited?

Looks like Betfair have made a mistake with their goalscorer odds as Godden is currently 11/1 first goal and Jordan Young is 6/1

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yeah you can get him any time at 5/1 which is a great price considering he’s the most likely forward to start tomorrow and takes penalties. 365 have him under 2/1, they likely won’t honour the price though

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Paddy Power are also 5/1 they’re owned by the same company as Betfair

Sky Bet 7/4
William Hill 7/5

Cheers for the heads up fellas, I had £10 spare in my Betfair account

All that said, I wouldn't be surprised if Baka started & we looked to give more minutes to Walker too.

Yes he is indeed a good 'un

Question. With the match pass on ifollow, will it let you rewatch the game afterwards?

I was able to last year.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Just went on the MK Dons forum - not even a proper match thread yet.

However I did come across this suggested song from the forum

To the tune of Lord of the Dance

Sing now, wherever you may be
We are the boys of the MKD
We’ll follow you, wherever you may be
And will sing for you over land and sea

One of the few times I've found BCD a positive, if it avoids hearing that.

How can we we watch this game?

Apologies if this has already been raised!

Buy an ifollow match pass (£10) from MK Dons site. You'll have to register with them, but it only takes a minute or two, so easy.

Thank you! Why can’t we get the pass off of our website? I’m just curious!

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

I'm sure you can. Don't buy off MK in case they get the money rather than CCFC.

Will it be something to do with the allocation of any revenue re: ifollow/home team etc? Not sure - just a wild guess!

Edit: you can get it via our website (next time, I will!)
