    First half was all us and we deserved the two nil lead

    Second half the dons had the best of the half.

    However the best side one,city deserved the win,however have no doubt the dons will be up there come the end.

    That was the best atmosphere at the gate for a very very long time.

    doubt if we will see any better at the gate this season.

    A cracking game of football to watch,onwards and upwards.

    Nice feelings all around RR. Best start to a season for a long time and we probably won't meet many better teams than today will we?

    Didn't think we was the better of any halves, champions are made of getting results like that.

    I almost fainted when we scored our third goal. I was so down before being elated.

    I thought 2-0 slightly flattered us at half time but MK came back well and if anything looked like they would go on and win it-
    There were too many times that we let them dictate and it was whenever we scored that the momentum swung back to us.
    Overall, we dug in well and other than 2 errors for their gaols, defended well too.

    It was a pulsating game. We played a very good side and they will be up there too at the end of the season.

    Gary Johnson used to look at the season in 10 game sections. 24 points from 10 games is the best I have ever known.!

    THE scariest aspect of CITY is the willingness to throw away a 2 goal lead..it shows we are quite a way from being a good lge 1 side! We need to be a very very good league side to go up and stay there

    Agreed and we've conceded 5 in 2 games. Luckily we outscored MKD yesterday

    Out scoring the opposition is all that matters...overall I thought MKD where the better team on the day, however we are so dangerous going forward & someone are in for a real hiding this season!

    Certainly were the best side we have faced this season and will no doubt be up there at the end of the season. We got the early goal and were on top for 15 minutes but MK dictated then and the penalty was probably against the run of play at that time.

    2-0 up at home at half time shouldn't be let go of really, but we managed that in dramatic style with the back pass.

    Luckily, Elliott fully redeemed himself almost immediately which showed the fight and character the team now have and from then on, MK weren't really in it.

    At 2-2, I did say to my son, that we were more likely to lose it from here so that last goal for me was vital.
