    Looked as if he kicked out and then raised his hands.

    A goal for Wyke and a clean sheet would do me here ....

    ... a goal for them and it could be a nightmare second half.

    We have a solid defence for the first time in 2 years, just need a forward line now and we will go up as Champs.

    I agree, but a goal from Wyke is a big ask, Ill settle for a clean sheet mind and a goal from anywhere.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Grigg come on and get one (I know I know, it's a bit out there <laugh>). With Power hitting a purple patch, maybe he can help Grigg. They apparently played well off each other at Wigan and stranger things have happened....

    If it's 2-0 at 60 minutes Ross will need to be very careful with the subs.

    Anyone who comes on needs energy and application ...

    ... Grigg doesn't quite fit the bill imo.

    With two key players on yellows, this game is far from over, a third goal would give us the chance to relax.

    Great position to be in. I'm a bit cautious about having two of our most over enthusiastic players on a yellow card. Surely we'll be fine though.

    Understandable but I just don't think Wyke is good enough. The lad tries but he's slow as **** and for a big lad I reckon I could win 90% of headers against him and I'm not exactly tall <laugh>

    Grigg, if he fancies it, can stretch the play a little, get in the corners and play off the last man. At least it would be something different for the MK defence to think about.

    I would love Grigg to get a goal. The way he reacted after we scored the pen down Bolton says to me he's up for it.

    Key for me is keeping our heads, eleven on the pitch, and a clean sheet.

    would have liked to see a 3rd before the break, then put all 2nd half efforts into getting wyke/grigg a goal or two.

    bit early to say there has been an 'improvement' in team play but that 1st half sounded much better than recent performances, if someone at the game can confirm that then i am happy to hold my 'ross out' call for a while ;)

    Grigg is the pits mate, I agree about Wyke though he does work for the team, unlike Grigg who doesnt work at all.

    Well I had a cross country race so couldn’t make it. If we play well and win I might just try to get a cross country every match!!!
