Awful yesterday. The players who haven't played for a while don't look sharp and the ones that have look knackered. Perhaps understandable, but what's harder to fathom is we seem to have lost the ability to control and pass a football.

It's always going to be hard with 10 men, but MK managed it pretty well a couple of weeks ago and looked comfortable. I genuinely counted the players half way through the second half. It was like Shrewsbury had 2 or 3 more than us. Eventually found ours camped out deep in our own half.

On to positives, we've got three weeks to get refreshed and sorted. We're 4 points clear and with gd MK need to better us by 5 over 7 games to get in front. If we were offered this position at the start of the season we'd have snatched your hand off.

Someone mentioned Warnock. Consultant for 7 games? I reckon he'd get us over the line.
