    No killer instinct plus tired legs today.

    Got to agree with you here. For all his talent, when the pressure is on he becomes Mr anonymous.

    3good points but my nerves won't stand many more tight games like this.
    Ref was keen to get his cards out, the standard in this league is shocking, giving yellows when it should be red but we've hung on and I'll take that.

    I'm absolutely sure Ross will say,
    "We learned some lessons today."

    He says it after every game we don't win and some we do.

    Did he not learn any lessons when he was playing, or at St Mirren, or last season, or in the other games this season ffs ... I hate to say it but he's becoming really irritating.

    He's definitely not the man to take us forward.

    Anyone think it was a foul for their goal. Looked like there player just barged into Willis to push the ball over the line. Nervy 2nd half but happy with the points. They need to get some consistency together.

    I thought their ref and linesman had a good game, shame they couldn't put the ball in the net but they did all they could.

    Decent performance from us, lots of good football and two quality goals. Defence looked a lot more like it although I think we should try Burges next game. De Bock will be a canny player for us, very solid.

    O'Nien man of the match. Great performance.

    The forward line was poor today, due in part to injury, but when Wyke is your best attacker questions have to be asked about Gooch and Maguire's attitudes, both have talent but are totally unreliable imo. We then had three fading prima donnas if you include McGouch and two of our main threats walking a tightrope at the start of the second half, a ref craving attention, and a manager totally oblivious to this handed the initiative to MK Dons, and we were lucky to win another game that we should have won in a canter. Get a striker in in January and we should be fine. OaU

    Well that was nervy at the end I’m sure the buggers do it on purpose to make us sweat. :headbang:

    I was there and they nearly blew it again ! if we were 3-0 up those shots would go in but at 2-1 survived just, the ref was pathetic, no opponents get sent off but two should have went in the 2nd half, and they were dropping all over the pitch and bought the ref it is fixed to make sure we cop it most from refs, but in saying that it is a win, why the switch off in the 2nd half god knows. I would have went about 4-30 pm but they scored, and he brought Grigg on far too late.

    Need to see some replays but especially in the 2nd half we had players shooting for goal when they should have laid it on for a better placed team mates.

    Generally good 1st half, not so good 2nd half...

    09 man of match for me..

    3 Points is all that matters.

    It would be good to win a game comfortably just to give our nerves a break.
