Wycombe and Plymouth May struggle to get another win which puts us right in the mix...
Rotherham dropping like a stone and Doncaster playing league 2 football next season should give us a real chance of 6 points from our last 2 games...

With my match predictions I have the final league 1 table as follows -
1- Wigan Ath 94 pts
2- MK Dons 89
——————
3- Sheff Wed 87
4- Rotherham 84
5- Sunderland 84
6- Oxford Utd 81
——————-
8- Plymouth 79
9- Wycombe 78

If Brannagan didn't get injured we would have cruised into the play offs

Well if we could have got anything from the recent 3 losses…..

WOW WOW WOW first 55 minutes terrible P**s poor. Then 55 mins on we started to play, then 81 minutes the introduction big MARCUS BROWNE and didn’t he do well…nice to see you, to see you nice

9600 ish. 1500 + from MK. So 8k home fans on a Tuesday night is good going.

Plenty of empty seat in north stand & Ssl ....mk approach to attendance ... or maybe being switched from yesterday tickets were sold but some ticket holders couldnt make it ? .....though there was a reasonable amount of home support in the breeze block for a tuesday night

Karl Robinson deserves credit for whatever he said at half time, it clearly worked! Holland was a different player and we were a different team.

Nights like tonight in OUR own new stadium would be special.

Roll on Stratfield Brake.

Don't forget season ticket holders are counted even if they don't attend. Tuesday night games have always been poorly attended at the kassam unless a cup game/play off. Being stuck in the car park till 10.30 pm, lack of facilities on site for families to pre eat, traffic and now games being available on ifollow are the main reasons.

Special er .....Im still.buzzin after tonights game ( well 2nd half) despite the surroundings

It looked like the teams swapped shirts at half time.
In the second half, we pressed and they seemed to go to pieces. Their neat quick passing broke down and they started hitting it long for the first time.
If MK are lucky enough to have a KFC loving supporter called Kip I swear that he would call MK bottlers!!!
Well done KR and the team. The players played the whole second half with belief. Bodin is a special player at this level and he made a big difference when coming on.
A clean sheet as well against a very good side and 4 wins against Wednesday and MK

Imagine celebrating a win like that in the supporters club within Stratfield brake into the early hours, would be a few sore heads in the morning.

 

[bazzer9461]

Difficult first half, outstanding second half performance.

Well done KR and the lads, the negative numb skulls must be gutted.

Up the U's!

The first 55 mins there were a lot of negative numbskulls and quite rightly so but after that the positivity stated shine through.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Great win. Still a long shot. Who knows with this crazy season.

 

[bazzer9461]

Time to trigger Bodins extra year, would rather keep him than Henry (who has been a great player for us!)

No he will replace Sykes

 

[Oxford1996]

We’ve done the double over MK Dons & Sheffield Wednesday.

How frustrating that they’re 3rd & 4th.

 

[Upthecowboys]

Gutsy win tonight.

Did well to stay in the game and then took 1 of only 2 real chances. A clinical win that keeps our season alive!!

 

[Osei Yaw]

Bodin needs a new contract for next season. He's class.

Bodin needs a new contract for next season. He's class.

surely the best thing to come out of Swindon

 

[Mad Dog]

Great win!

Different team 2nd half, looking like our old selves, flooding forward, and looked up for it, and the crowd finally found their voice!!

Once Bodin came on, he offered so much more than Whyte, and a great finish, get him signed to a long term contract Robbo, he’s a class act.

Long was so much better 2nd half, looked like his old self, more energy and drive, looked up for it and got forward well.

Taylor had a great game, fed off scraps in the first half, but worked hard nonetheless, which always seems to go unappreciated by some, but was much more involved in the 2nd half, he does a lot of good work with the ball, and is a constant nuisance when we get players in and around him.

Brown was superb, I don’t know what I was thinking giving him such a hard time, since he’s settled in, he’s really sharpened up, and is very solid defensively, lots of good tackles, not much gets past him, another great goal line clearance, good in the air, and he has good vision for a pass as well. Very impressed by him in the last few games, and he’s well and truly won me over! Deserved to be MOTM

1 week ago, we looked dead and buried, but even though it’s not in our own hands anymore, to pull ourselves back from the brink, and still be in with a shout going into the last couple of games, is a great achievement!!

Well done Robbo and the lads!!

Bring on Rotherham!!
