Firstly we were poor.
We have some really good ball players but too many of them are playing. Fleck, Swanson, O'Brien, Clarke, Tudgay and Mcquoid all show flashes of quality at different times but they all want the ball played directly to their feet, none of them want to run onto balls and none of them want to take on a man. Fleck has a good passing range but he has no runs to pick out, he only has people who stand still and want the ball played into their feet.
We have no power/driving force in centre midfield, a player who can carry the ball and move us 30 yards up the pitch within seconds.
No pace/power at striker, Mcquoid and Tudgay both play with their back to goal. They hold the ball up well and bring others into play but neither get into goalscoring positions, no one with a threat in behind the defence.
No speed or trickery on the wings, Clarke keeps possession well and is decent with the ball at his feet in terms of control and passing. He can't beat a man to save his life though and isn't aggressive or positive in his attacking play. Haynes shows promise but at the moment is a one trick pony, the MK right back worked him out within 30 minutes.
We defended really well, delighted to get a second clean sheet in 4 games.
All things considered an away point at MK has to be considered good but we have a lot of deficiencies going forward, it isn't a lack of quality imo but more massively unbalanced.
