Really? 14 midweek games. Technically it's 3 games in 8 days but it will still take it's toll

Baka looks unbelievable now. I'd be terrified to play against him.
O hare unreal, if we'd never seen him play before we'd be rubbing our eyes at how good he's going to be.
Hamer - didn't see much from him today.
Shipley I love but ffs when he's off it he's so bad it's laughable. It's almost like he just loses concentration and doesn't think what he's doing. That role does not suit him.
Kelly - what a guy, what a player, what a captain.
Giles or 'gilo' - got turned inside out first min but didn't put a foot wrong after that. Him and Dabo on either side excites me ALOT
Fadz - 9/10 awesome.

Hamer set up two of our best chances from FKs... McFadz needed to do a lot better!

2 nd half showed our metal . MR played a blinder putting on the subs when he did . It could well have been 2-0 .
10 men , we only need 10 men .
as for the penalty and the sending off .. I really hope MR contests this as it never was a pen .
#PUSB onwards and upwards x

He likes his shot stopping but not his distribution.
Keepers are coached to distribute a lot differently to back in the day. A hoof to the halfway line or an occasional throw out wide to the full back - anything else was frowned upon.

Probably because he took over from Burge, who was Oggy's baby.

He’s failed to score the goals I thought he would be

It beats losing to 10 men at home and missing a penalty

Yep - I’m guessing you meant ‘would do’ at the end? Correct me if I’m wrong!
I’m hoping that because we have a set piece ‘specialist’, we can create more chances and goals from set pieces. If this doesn’t improve this year, then a focus for our recruitment has to be defenders who can score from set pieces.
I’ve been banging on about this for a few season now.

Didn’t get to watch the game as had to drop my missus camping. Canadians!!! Clean sheet and a goal for Walker, I’ll take that in a shitty cup game!

Oggy said Marosi is a good shout for man of the match so maybe he is warming to him

Yes really. As you said yourself. Saturday Tuesday Saturday is not the same week.
In fairness to Shipley he moved across from wide left to cover the loss of a defender and he broke up a number of Dons attacks. But Robins was correct to sub him as he was on a yellow.

A lot of surprises this round of the cup! I was worried our performance was showing we were a bit rusty for competitive football.

Nice to see the depth we have in the squad now and Baka is like a new sighning on that display but we did look a bit shaky in defence and lacking a clinical finish

Pros
Won with 10 men for 60 min
Marosi saved a pen
Walker debut goal looks confident finisher
Bakas pressing
Giles MOTM
O hare seems to have mastered his role in the team completely
Cons
Didnt play very well even with 11 men
Shipley sloppy in DM position
Godden still not involved enough
Overall its s good win and acts as a very good last piece of pre season for us. Like training withbweights on ankles thrn taking them off lol

It did look that way. We had players out of their best position in midfield and we struggled as a result to control the tempo, even before the red card. Walsh will be a huge miss but with Kelly and Sheaf hopefully this area of our game will improve next week.

Credit where it’s due, MK were good on the ball and they were sharper than us on the ball. Since we had an early red card, we don’t know how we would’ve responded as the game develops 11v11.
IMO, MR put another striker on because he saw a weakness to be exploited - high D line and an ageing Lewington in the middle. At times, we looked good on the counter.
Without Walsh, we’ll probably have to be more direct and it may be worth us playing 3-4-1-2 with both Gooden and Walker up front or a 3-4-3 with wingers.
Given the circumstances, I’m pleased with the way we ground out a win in challenging conditions.

Happy with the result given the overall performance and down to 10 men for an hour.
Need to sharpen up against better opposition if we don't want to get caught. Marosi with the ball at his feet nearly got caught a few times and if he does that against better players we may well be conceding. Did the goalkeeping stuff well.
Was worried about Giles first few minutes but improved. Pask you can tell is not a wide player.
Kelly made a massive difference coming on. Hopefully Sheaf can come in for him if he's ever out because none of the other CM's seem suited to the role.
Defensively we've got players to come back with Dabo, Rose and Osti which hopefully will help with the few issues we had.
Nice for Walker to get a debut goal and Baka seemed up for it.
Bold change by MR - not just in terms of timing but changing the formation and it got rewarded.

I don't think that is the case. He often praises him. He just doesn't think he should take risks when it's not needed - like today, which could have cost us.
Whenever I hear Oggy co-commentate I think he makes s lot of sense.
