town go into their opening fixture with 2 injuries. both Winfield and asante have hamstring injuries, whilst mkd striker bowditch is out with a groin injury. bamfoed and otsemobor will have to pass fitness tests.

mkankawire will cap.and mcquade and marsden may play.

it is a lottery what the result will be, but on towns pre season friendly successes balanced by roland on the purse strings, I go for town to open their account- 3-1 att 5888 parry marden and bradders

Defence and midfield did well today and MK dons failed to exert any real pressure until late on. Bradshaw has bulked up a bit but still lacks control and never looked like scoring. Marsden had a couple of good efforts and Wildig hit a sprawling keeper (which I suppose counts as a good save).

MOM Jacobson (agree with GT)

PS a good job we did not sign Cureton. Probably out for a considerable time with a dislocated shoulder. That's what comes to aged people.

I hate 0-0s but not a bad start on one of the favourites to go up.....

What tactics was their goalie employing? Keeping the ball to draw our strikers out? Admittedly that means any return balls warrant said striker as offside, but seemed ineffective.
