I bet you got poor odds

Not really, Bet365 go:

Milton Keynes Dons to win by 2 Goals Winning Margin 13/2

Milton Keynes Dons to win by 3 Goals Winning Margin 13/1

Milton Keynes Dons to win by 4 Goals+ Winning Margin 22/1

A lot of the goals we've let in have been player mistakes, it's been gross to see at times.

I've only missed 1-2 games at home, honestly going forward we are fantastic and defensively (even with the losses) we're somewhat better.

I said to the Missus, it's almost like the players want him gone - the two goals today were dreadful, and you can't blame him for them even if he does manage the team, they were individual errors and it was horrible from them.

Edit: I just remembered this forum doesn't like facts, I'll go back into hiding now.

Facts?

I’ve got a season ticket and I’m not wasting my time on Monday if that buffoon is still in charge. Mike Williamson, if only.

Maynard post match: Errors have cost us.... frustrating.... we go again..... I don't feel the pitch has had an effect on the game.... individual errors.... timing of the goals.... MKD similar philosophy to us (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!)

Sounds the most rattled I've heard him so far.

The "Look" count absolutely thrashing the "moments" count today.

Some other club will go bust, and another deducted 30 points, we'll be fine.

If the brothers lose interest after having their project fail to miserably on them, then I wouldn't be surprised if it were us.

Who on earth is going to put up an extra £16+ million, on top of what it would take to buy the club, to service our debts, if they decide they've had enough?

Would LW of dropped jatta after scoring 3 in 3? I’m not sure about that.
People like you sticking up for this clown that’s going to keep him here.

I’m not sticking up for SM but seriously we do have to be slightly careful with him, he’d missed a lot of football before joining and Friday/Monday maybe a risk but that said without seeing the game, you have to think he should have come on a lot earlier.

[the_anticlough]

I agree and not defending SM as such but he’s picking all the players I believe LW would av picked as basically there’s not much more choice and whilst he’s played with tactics their not that different, at some point the players have to be held accountable too.

But that's not the way it works, is it? How can you hold 15+ contracted players accountable? For 8 pts from 39 games, the buck always stopped with the Head Coach.

[matt_magpie]

In all seriousness they will see it as a bump in the road, a slightly large one but on the whole things have got better by each season.
That said they’ve got a couple of massive challenges, the squad needs a lot of changes and IF the budget is 10/12th next season then attracting a quality new manger becomes harder too.

They were talking about the club being sustainable next season, fat chance of that now they've messed up really badly. They're as to blame as much as Maynard for this but most of you won't like hearing that.

I know and it will be SM who goes, but the message from higher up should be you’ve let the manager down, the fans down and us else where do you go with some of these players.

I've had the feeling since we replaced Ardley with Burchnall that it will end in tears for these owners and they will leave being compared at this level to the dark days of The Trust.

Getting a club this size out of tier 5 at the 4th attempt is hardly something to be grateful for, that was the least anybody could do.
It's at this level we get to see what they actually have to offer.

Tonight we are 16th.

Sutton United finished 8th in their first season after going up from the NL with no previous experience in the EFL and gates of 3k
