Didn't we only take 4 points from Sheff W, Ipswich both newly promoted under Enzo in 4 games.

 

Lost away a Plymouth who finished 4th from bottom. 

 

 

 

On the back of 2 wins in 20?

And were the games consecutive or are you picking random games in between long winning periods.

Am I the only one who thought we looked poor today. Knocked it about the pitch without much urgency and whilst we created chances, almost all were half chances, and the only good ones we did have were squandered

Are we not seeing the passes or just executing them poorly. If it's the first you can coach that, if it's the movement you can coach that. If it's the technique/Skill to actually pick the pass we could be waiting a long time these players are playing in league 1 for a reason. 

We’re still quite easy to defend against; we offer very little threat from wide areas so defences can just stay narrow and snuff out our play around the box in central areas.

no. We took 6 points, and Ipswich while newly promoted finished 2nd. Do you see anything from Notts or franchise FC to suggest they'll challenge up the top end

I get it—this style of football isn't everyone's cup of tea. When the results aren't coming, watching us pass the opposition to death without anything to show for it is incredibly frustrating.

To be fair, though, we created more than enough chances to win comfortably today.

 

Defensively, we looked far more assured than in previous matches and we limited MK Dons to next to nothing.

Braybrooke really should have had a couple, BDCR missed a clear one-on-one, and Joseph rattled the crossbar. We carved out more than enough quality openings over the 90 minutes. 

 

We signed a lot of players in the summer and it'll naturally take time for them to gel. 

[Pita]

Another poor result one point is not enough

We probably only need 3 players we probably only needed 6-8 at the start of the window. Reminds me of when we sold Heskey and bought about 10 players with the money instead of 3 or 4 really good signings.

Not random if you actually read the conversation

It was by far our best league performance of the season. We had more than enough chances to win that. Am I daft for seeing some encouraging signs? Maybe my expectations have been worn down so much. 

 

Don't twist my words on this. I am by no means happy with a draw. I just think you're lying to yourself if you didn't think that performance was better. 

It was fine in the middle of the pitch. Lots of quick passing etc. But we didn’t trouble them. They were content with that. We were fortunate that they offered nothing at the other end so we got a draw.

 

We can’t even blame it on needing another striker. It was purely about the lack of meaningful chances created. Lots of soft efforts from distance. Watson was a one trick pony cutting in and doing nothing. Alves should have we been on sooner as he gave them something else to think about going down the outside. 

[Ian Nacho]

Very frustrating in isolation but over the course of a season if we play like that then we'll be there or there abouts.

and Foxestalk is still free 

Yeah maybe if he would left it at that as opposed to glazing about the performance on another day win comfortably was that sarcasm as well

But we've got to start winning games. This tippy-tappy around the back can't continue.

We had a shot every 4 minutes and hit the post twice.

 

Question the finishing sure, but tippy-tappy wasn't the problem.

The point is a team that goes up this season couldn’t have asked for a better 3 opening fixtures really (on paper at least)

 

 

If you assume we do finish this season even in the playoffs, we’re already playing catch up to those other teams who’ve had tougher starts than we have.

Just make it easy for teams I feel, yeah we had the ball a lot but they are than happy to soak it up and try to catch us out. We had chances sure but apart from Reid’s we didn’t actually trouble them too much. It’s very much Martin ball what I expected after his rangers spell, no different. The football isn’t winning football

Fine in what sense? We need promotion or we go bust.  We will absolutely not be fine.

Disappointing result but more encouraging IMO. Thought there was good effort shown as well in the second half which is good.

Played a lot of football in front of MK Dons. They were fine with that. Never really got behind their defence to stretch them and when we finally did we’d lose composure. Watson pissed a right decent chance up the wall on the counter in a 2 on 2

Let's be more positive. When you think of the absolute dross we saw last season this is a breath of fresh air. Loads of new signings and youngsters in the side. With a bit more luck would have won easily. Give Martin some credit for moulding basically a brand new set of players. I'm really enjoying watching the youngsters compared with the likes of Winks last season 

[Vestan Pance]

28 wins needed from 43 now. 

[ARM1968]

Are we not entertained?  We have the possession football many seem to desire. It’s great isn’t it?  
 

Not much we can do except keep supporting our club and hoping things change. I just don’t think they will. I didn’t think we’d get relegated last season and I’m quite pessimistic about us at the moment. We  surely can’t do it again, but I’m not so sure.

Some of those shots though were largely long range and not particularly dangerous. The xG is only 1.53 which isn’t a great showing from 20+ shots.
